CEREBRAL CORTEX
It is located underneath the cortex
SUBCORTICAL STRUCTURES
What are the Subcortical Structures
HYPOTHALAMUS
PITUITARY GLAND
BASAL GANGLIA
etc.
These structures are important for memory, emotion, pleasure, as well as hormone production.
SUBCORTICAL STRUCTURES
In this system, we talk at length about the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland because they produce a number of hormones, which are important in
the body.

It contains the motor cortex.
FRONTAL LOBE
It controls memory, speech and language, personality, as well as decision-making
FRONTAL LOBE
It is essential for speech function.
BROCA’s AREA
It contains the sensory cortex and is essential for interpreting signals related to things such as touch, position, pain, as well as temperature.
PARIETAL LOBE
It contains the visual cortex and is essential for visual processing and interpretation.
OCCIPITAL LOBE
