Hindbrain
What is the hindbrain?
Location of midbrain in relation to the pons.
What is superior?
Two areas of the forebrain.
What is the diencephalon and the telencephalon?
This structure consists of six interconnected nuclei and is important for motor activity.
What is the basal ganglia?
These are the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex.
What is the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe?
Where the vast majority of life support is located; controls vital functions and reflexes.
What is the medulla?
Name two things included in the midbrain.
What is the reticular nuclei and inferior/superior colliculi?
What is the diencephalon?
A part of the limbic system and is important for memory formation.
What is the hippocampus?
This splits the frontal lobe and parietal lobe, and is the major pathway for motor function.
What is the central sulcus?
What is the pons?
This assists with balance and smooth movement.
What is the reticular nuclei?
This area involves higher level thinking.
What is the telecephalon?
A part of the limbic system and plays a major role in fight or flight response.
What is the amygdala?
This splits frontal and parietal from temporal.
What is the lateral sulcus?
Regulates muscle tone and involved in motor activity; damage to this area impacts movement precision and balance.
What is the cerebellum?
These are involved with localization of sounds.
What is the inferior colliculi?
What is the thalamus?
Huntington's Disease impacts this part of the brain.
What is the basal ganglia?
This separates the two hemispheres.
What is the longitudinal fissure?
Name all parts of the hindbrain.
What are the medulla, pons, and cerebellum?
These are involved with localization of visual information.
What is the superior colliculi?
This part of the brain is a part of the hormonal system and maintains homeostasis.
What is the hypothalamus?
