  Consists of the brain stem  pathway for all nerves entering and leaving the brain  The Pons-- involved with sleep and alertness; connects brain.

“I once thought about cloning a new, more efficient brain, but then I realized that I was getting a head of myself.”

The Cerebral Cortex is split into four LOBES, with half of each one on the left, and half of each one on the right: The FRONTAL LOBE The PARIETAL LOBE.

 The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. The cerebrum controls.

 Enables communication between the two hemispheres of the brain.

 Hunger & Thirst  Body Temp,  Blood Pressure  Sex Drives  Pituitary Gland (growth and sexual hormones)  Circadian Rhythms

Highly processed information from cortex areas enters hippocampus: Stores information about objects and people. Decides what goes into long- term memory. Integrates info: links new info to existing memories. Allows you to retrieve all the information about an event

 A type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.

Controls fear and aggression responses Plays an important role in emotional learning. Plays a role in the flight-or- flight response. Consolidating information into long-term memory

 Involved in several functions of the body including:  Fine Movement Coordination  Balance and Equilibrium  Muscle Tone  Relays information between body muscles and areas of the cerebral cortex that are involved in motor control.

The Pons:  Relays information from body to brain. Connects hindbrain to cerebrum.  Involved in sleep and dreams The Medulla: Located directly above the spinal cord. Controls many vital autonomic functions such as heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.
