sexual urges
Bodys decision maker
Central nervous system
Wrinkles
Allows mors brain to fit into a smaller space (just like a crumpled piece of paper)
Quarterback of senses
Thalamus
Relays information from the sensory recpetors to the proper parts of the brain to be processed
Attention Center
Reticular Formation
System of nerves in hindbrain
Antagonist
Gaba
undersupply linked to seizures, tremors, and insomnia
Message carriers
Senory neurons carry messages from the body’s tissues and sensory receptors inward (they are afferent) to the brain and spinal cord for processing
Little brain
Helps coordinate and regulate different functions and processes in both the brain and body.
holds more than half of the neurons in your body
Movement disorders
huntington's disease and parkinson's disease caused from a damaged basal ganglia
Sleep and dreams
Pons
coordinates movements between right side of the body and left side of the body
Neurotransmitters
Vessel for communication between neurons (brain cells)
Automatic nervous system
the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart)
