 Phineas Gage

 LOBES of the BRAIN  Frontal  Parietal  Temporal  Occipital

 FRONTAL  It is concerned with emotions, reasoning, planning, movement, and parts of speech. It is also involved in purposeful acts such as creativity, judgment, problem solving, and planning. PARIETAL  They are connected with the processing of nerve impulses related to the senses, such as touch, pain, taste, pressure, and temperature. They also have language functions.

 TEMPORAL  The temporal lobes are responsible for hearing, memory, meaning, and language. They also play a role in emotion and learning. The temporal lobes are concerned with interpreting and processing auditory stimuli. OCCIPITAL  The occipital lobe is involved with the brain's ability to recognize objects. It is responsible for our vision.

  Cerebral Cortex  Medulla  Pons  Cerebellum  Reticular activating system  Thalamus  Hypothalamus  Hippocampus  Amygdala

 CEREBRAL COR TEX The “bark” of the brain; complex thinking, perception

 MEDULLA Vital functions – heart rate, breathing

 CERE BELL UM  balance, & coordination

 T HAL AMUS  switchboard “Hal” has gone “amiss”

 HYPOTHALAMUS  Hunger, thirst, regulate body temperature

 AMYGDALA “mig” rhymes with “wig”  Emotions - fear

 HIPPOCAMPUS  Learning & memory

 RETICULAR RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM  Sleep & arousal

 PONS  Sleep & relaxation

  Cerebral cortex  Medulla  Pons  Cerebellum  Reticular activating system  Thalamus  Hypothalamus  Hippocampus  Amygdala
