Random Stuff
100
Frontal Lobe
At the very front of the brain.
100

Located at the base of the skull behind the pons and cerebral cortex - "little brain"

Cerebellum

100
Acts as a relay station for incoming information.
Thalamus
100
helps identify and make sense of visual information from the eyes.
Occipital lobe
100
how long can the brain go without oxygen without permanent brain damage?
5-10 minutes
200
Temporal lobe
Found just behind the temples.
200
Located just below and in front of the thalamus.
Hypothalamus
200

Brainstem (Pons)

Relays messages between the cerebellum and the cortex

200
associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.
Midbrain
200

When does your brain reach maturity?

Around 25 years old

300
Occipital lobe
At the base of the cortex towards the back of the brain.
300

Located within the medial temporal lobe on each side of the brain - responsible for memory

Hippocampus

300

Amygdala

Processes emotions (FFF response)
300
Responsible for all higher functions of the brain
Frontal Lobe
300

On average how many thoughts do you have a day?

70,000 

400
Parietal lobe
At the top and back of the brain just under the parietal bone in the skull.
400

Connects the left and right hemispheres

Corpus callosum

400

Cerebral Cortex

controls all voluntary motor activity such as: movement sensory processing olfaction language and communication learning and memory

400
regulates temperature, thirst, hunger, sleep, sexual activity and emotions.
Hypothalamus
400

Term used to describe the process by which your brain dissolves white matter and neural connections to make way for new connections and processing capabilities

Brain pruning

500

The Thalamus

At the stop of the brainstem - connects the brainstem to the limbic system and the cerebral cortex

500

Located between the pons and the spinal cord - manages heart and breathing.

Medulla

500

Reticular Formation

Regulates consciousness + alertness

500

Part of the brain that recognizes, processes, distinguishes sensory information.

"Makes sense of sensory information

Parietal Lobe

500

Process where nerve cell and neurons physically change inside the brain in response to environmental circumstances

Brain plasticity
