2. Hindbrain

3. Hindbrain
Brain area containing the medulla, pons, and cerebellum

4. Hindbrain?

5. Midbrain

6. Midbrain
Region between the hindbrain and the forebrain; it is important for hearing and sight and is one of several places in the brain where pain is registered

7. Midbrain?
Malcolm in the Middle

8. Forebrain

9. Forebrain
Part of the brain, including the thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex

10. Forebrain?

11. Brain Stem

12. Brain Stem
Oldest and innermost “central core” of brain; begins where spinal cord swells and enters skull – responsible for automatic survival functions

13. Brain Stem

14. Pons

15. Pons
Just above the medulla—helps coordinate movements

16. Pons
Just above the medulla—helps coordinate movements -- PONDS

17. Thalamus

18. Thalamus Area of the forebrain that relays and translates incoming
messages from the
sense receptors,
except those
for smell

19. Thalamus

20. Cerebellum

21. Cerebellum
Two hemispheres in the hindbrain that control certain reflexes and coordinate the body’s movements

22. Cerebellum

23. Limbic System

24. Limbic System
Located below the cerebral hemispheres – associated with emotions and drives
hippocampus, amygdale, hypothalamus

25. Limbic System
Located below the cerebral hemispheres – associated with emotions and drives
hippocampus, amygdale, hypothalamus

26. Hippocampus

27. Hippocampus
Processes memory

28. Hippocampus
Processes memory

29. Amygdala

30. Amygdala
Two “lima bean-sized” neural clusters (limbic system) – Linked to emotions (aggression, fear)

31. Amygdala
Two “lima bean-sized” neural clusters (limbic system) – Linked to emotions (aggression, fear)

32. Hypothalamus

33. Hypothalamus
Forebrain region governs motivation and emotional responses

34. Hypothalamus

35. Cerebrum

36. Cerebrum
Two large hemispheres that contribute 85% of the brain’s weight – enable perceiving, thinking, speaking

37. Cerebral Cortex

38. Cerebral Cortex
The two hemispheres of the forebrain that regulate most complex behavior – Cerebrum?

39. Cerebral Cortex

40. Convolutions
Folds in the cerebral cortex that allow its mass to fit inside the skull

42. Frontal Lobe

43. Frontal Lobe
Largest of the association areas*; the site of such uniquely human activities as self-awareness, initiative, and planning
*Large areas of cerebral cortex dealing with both sensory and motor…

44. Frontal Lobe

45. Occipital Lobe

46. Occipital Lobe
Part of the cerebral cortex that receives and interprets visual information

47. Occipital Lobe

48. Temporal Lobe

49. Temporal Lobe
Part of the cerebral cortex that controls hearing and some processing of visual information

50. Temporal Lobe

51. Parietal Lobe

52. Parietal Lobe
Part of the cerebral cortex that responds to sensations of touch and bodily position and informs the brain of events worthy of special attention

53. Parietal Lobe

54. Corpus Callosum

56. Corpus Callosum
Ribbon-like band that connects the two hemispheres of the brain and coordinates their activities

57. Corpus Callosum
