Presentation transcript:

Cerebral Cortex Thoughts and actions Frontal Lobe: Consciousness, what we do according to our environment, judgment, emotional response, language, gives words meanings (word associations), memory for habits, and motor activities – Right Hemisphere: Creativity (art) – Left Hemisphere: Logic (math) Parietal Lobe: visual attention, touch perception, movements directed by a goal, the ability to manipulate objects, putting together different senses which allows us to understand a single concept. Occipital Lobe: vision Temporal Lobe: hearing, memory, some visual perceptions, speech, language, smell, and categorizes objects. Sensory Cortex: receives messages from parts of the body with senses (nose, eyes…) and messages about touch and temperature Motor Cortex: controls voluntary muscle movement

Cerebellum Regulation and coordination of movement, posture, balance, and some memory for reflex motor acts.

Limbic System (Emotional Brain) Thalamus: sensory and motor functions Hypothalamus: homeostasis, emotion, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, control over the autonomic nervous system, and controls pituitary Amygdala: memory, emotion, and fear Hippocampus: learning and memory (converting short term into long term memory and recalling relationships in the world about us)

Brain Stem Breathing, heart rate, swallowing, reflexes (startle response), controls sweating, blood pressure, digestion, temperature, controls your alertness, ability to sleep, sense of balance Midbrain: vision, hearing eye movement, and posture Pons: sensory analysis (hearing the ear), parts are important for the level consciousness while sleeping, movement, and posture Medulla: vital body functions (breathing, heart rate…)
