1. The Brain
All the things!

3. Brain Stem
Oldest part and central core of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells as it enters the skull; the brainstem is responsible for autonomic survival functions

4. Medulla -Attaches to the spinal cord
-controls largely unconscious but vital functions
-circulating blood
-breathing
-maintaining muscle tone
-regulating reflexes such as sneezing, coughing, and salivating.

5. Pons
Helps to coordinate movement , plays a role in sleep and dreaming, facial expressions, and even bladder control

6. Reticular Formation
A nerve network that travels through the brainstem and plays an important role in controlling arousal

7. Thalamus
The brain’s sensory control center, located on the top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla
Sight, hearing, taste, touch, NOT scent

8. cerebellum
The “little brain” at the rear of the brainstem, functions included processing sensory input, coordinating output and balance, and enabling nonverbal learning and memory

9. Limbic System
Neural system (including hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus) located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated with emotions and drives

10. Amygdala
Two lima-bean sized neural clusters in the linked to fear and emotion

11. hypothalamus
Neural structure lying below (hypo) the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward

12. Hippocampus
Linked to memory

13. How do we remember this?
