Lobes
These lobes in the brain process sensory information from the eyes. The left eye sends information to the right lobe and vise versa.
Occipital Lobes
Being the oldest region of the brain, this part of the brain controls basic functions such as breathing and attention.
Brain Stem
This part of the brain is responsible for triggering your flight or fight during a scary movie
Amygdala
This gland in the brain is considered the "master gland" and releases hormones that affect growth metabolism, and the system of reproduction.
Pituitary Gland
This hemisphere of the brain functions in logic, language, and math.
Left Hemisphere
These lobes are considered the executive center of the brain and has a hand in memory storage.
Frontal Lobes
Having one of the funniest names in the brain this part of the brain controls heart functions, coughing, sneezing, and many other unconscious functions
Medulla Oblongata
This part of the brain is the bridge between biopsychology and behavioral psychology as it functions in learning and memory
Hippocampus
This cortex is located in the frontal lobe and functions in expression of emotion, attention, and planning.
Prefrontal Cortex
This part of the brain sits in-between the two hemispheres of the brain and helps both sides communicate and trade information
Corpus Callosum
Sensory information from the ears is processed in these lobes.
Temporal Lobes
This part of the brain is crucial to coordinating voluntary movement and balance. Voluntary movement wouldn't be possible without it
Cerebellum
*Double Jeopardy*
These parts of the brain make up the Limbic system
Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Hypothalamus
This bulb in the forebrain is crucial to your sense of smell.
Olfactory Bulb
This part of the nervous system is an extension of the central nervous system and sends and receives information that helps control voluntary and involuntary movement.
Spinal Cord
These lobes in the brain function in association from touch receptors
Parietal Lobes
*Double Jeopardy*
This British sounding part of the brain regulates sleep, consciousness and dreaming.
Pons
This part of the brain helps regulate sleep, but also helps to regulate alertness and consciousness.
Thalamus
this cortex shares a lot of its function with the cerebellum and is located in the frontal lobe.
Motor Cortex
This complex of neurons is involved in coordinating integrating incoming sensory information and sending out motor messages.
The Central Nervous System
These lobes in the brain contain Wernicke's area
Temporal Lobes
Sigmund Freud focused mostly on this part of the hind brain.
Pons
This part of the brain is responsible for feeling hunger, thirst, and most emotions.
Hypothalamus
This cortex is responsible is responsible for sending and receiving sensory information and sending it to the rest of the brain and body
Sensory Cortex
This bundle of axons and neurons send information from the body to the spinal cord and brain
Peripheral Nervous System
