Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: what happens here?
exec function, working memory, sustained complex attn, memory retrieval, abstract judgment, insight, problem solving
orbitofrontal cortex: what happens here?
emotional and social responding, social comportment
lateral temporal cortex: what happens here?
memory retrieval, sensory-limbic integration
amygdala: what happens here?
emotional learning and memory, fear conditioning
hippocampus: what happens here?
declarative/short term/episodic memory, sensory gating, attention
cerebellum: what happens here?
coordination
anterior cingulate (aka medial frontal): what happens here?
