Nervous System

Cerebrum

100

This lobe is responsible for processing auditory information, language comprehension, and memory. 

Temporal Lobe

200

This lobe processes sensory information regarding touch, pain, temperature, and spatial awareness. 

Parietal Lobe

300

This lobe manages visual processing, including color, movement, and recognition.

Occipital Lobe

400

This lobe controls behavior, emotions, planning, reasoning, speech (Broca’s area), and voluntary motor movement.

Frontal Lobe

500

This part of the brain is a structure located in the back of the brain, containing over 50% of the brain's total neurons. It primarily coordinates voluntary movements, balance, posture, and motor learning.

Cerebellum

Diencephalon

100

This part of the Diencephalon includes the pineal gland and regulates the sleep-cycle hormones that it secretes

Epithalamus

200

This part of the Diencephalon is a relay station for communicating sensory and motor information between the body and the cerebral cortex

Thalamus

300

This part of the Diencephalon regulates functions such as metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, thirst, hunger, energy level, and body temperature

Hypothalamus

400

This part of the Diencephalon also holds the centers for pain and pleasure

Hypothalamus

500

This part of the Diencephalon also plays a major role in regulating the body's states of arousal, including sleep, wakefulness, and high-alert consciousness

Thalamus

Brain Stem

100

This segment of the brain stem regulates breathing

Pons

200

This segment of the brain stem regulates heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, and controls the reflexes for coughing, sneezing and vomiting.

Medulla Oblongata

300

This segment of the brain stem serves as a relay station for sensory and motor impulses. Specifically, those concerning vision, hearing, motor activity, sleep and wake cycles, arousal, and temperature regulation

Midbrain

400

These are the parts of the Brain stem from most superior to most inferior

Midbrain, Pons, Medulla Oblongata

500

This is the function of the reticular formation, a collection of grey matter that extends the length of the brain stem

Regulating waking from slumber, as well as heightened states of awareness

Cranial Nerves

100

This Cranial Nerve processes your sense of smell

Olfactory

200

This Cranial Nerve coordinates tongue muscle movements and tongue sensation

Hypoglossal

300

These 3 nerves control and coordinate eye movements in multiple directions

Oculomotor, Trochlear, and Abducens

400

This Cranial Nerve communicates autonomic control of your heart, lungs digestion, taste, and communicates between your brain and organs

Vagus

500

This Cranial Nerve coordinates throat muscles and taste

Glossopharyngeal

I&D

100

This Injury occurs from violent impacts to the head, particularly when the skull is pierced or fractured and bone fragment penetrate the brain

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

200

This disorder is characterized by an inflammation of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal chord

Meningitis

300

This is a group of nervous system disorders caused by damage to the brain before or during birth, or in early infancy

Cerebral Palsy

400

The most common nervous system disorder among the elderly, characterized by tremors, difficulty initiating movements -especially walking- and deficits in coordination

Parkinson's Disease

500

This disorder is characterized by loss of function in one of two or more areas of cognition including memory, thinking, judgement, behavior, perception, and language

Dementia
