Brain Stem
100
This sits on the very top of the brain stem, just below the cortex
What is the thalamus
100
The limbic system is situated above, around and interconnected with
What is the diencephalon
100
The cerebellum is wedged between these two other very interconnected portions of the brain
What are the brainstem and the cerebral cortex
100
There are this many nerve cell clusters of the basal ganglia
What are 4
100
The brain stem is made up of these three integral areas
What are the medulla, pons, midbrain
200
This sits below the thalamus and is the hormone center of the brain
What is the hypothalamus
200
Some researchers refer to the limbic system as this
What is the "mammalian brain"
200
Injury or disease to the cerebellum can produce problems with these areas
What are coordination, fine motor movements, equilibrium adn a sense of a person's body in space
200
The basal ganglia relays information from here to here
What is the cerebral cortex to the brain stem and cerebellum
200
Within the brain stem there is a collection of nerve fibers and nuclei called
What is the reticular activating system (RAS)
300
The thalamus is the relay station for this information
What is incoming and outgoing sensory information
300
When this is injured the limbic system seems to run wild
What is the cerebral cortex
300
The cerebellum is approximately this much of the brain's mass
What is 1/8
300
The most important function of the basal ganglia is to act as this
What is a "checking" system that comes to attention when something is not working the way it should be.
300
The lower part of the brain stem, the medulla, is involved in these functions
What are basic living functions
400
The hypothalamus is the control center for these body functions
What are hunger, thirst, sexual response, endocrine levels and temperature regulation
400
The two major structures associated with the limbic system
What are the hippocampus and the amygdala
400
The cerebellum is located here
What is the lower back section of the brain
400
An injured basal ganglia affects these
What are voluntary motor nerves
400
The pons is above the medulla and is essential for
What are facial movements, sensations, hearing and coordinating eye movements
500
Individuals who have an injury to their thalamus can have severe problems with these things
What are attention, concentration, memory, mental stamina, stress reactions, disorders in eating, drinking and sleeping.
500
The amydgala is this to a person's emotions
What is the front door
500
Because the layers of cells fan out in a distinct pattern the cerebellum has been referred to as this
What is the tree of life
500
The following affects are expected in an injured or diseased basal ganglia
What are slowness and loss of movement (akinesia), muscular rigidity and tremors
500
The smallest part of the brain stem is the midbrain which is responsible for the elementary forms of these senses.
What are seeing and hearing
