Anatomy of the brain (shit I don't remember) Flashcards
rhombencephalon
same thing has hindbrain/ controls balance motor coordination
divides into the myelencephalon and metencephalon
myelencephalon
becomes the medulla oblongata (regulate breathing…)
metencephalon
becomes non and cerebellum
mesencephalon
same thing as midbrain receive motor info and trigger involuntary reflexes. has colliculi
superior colliculus
receives visual sensory input
inferior colliculus
receive auditory input
prosencephalon
forebrain–> cognitive shit
divide to become telencephalon and diencephalon
telencephalon
cerebral cortex. basal ganglia and limbic system
diencephalon
forms calamus/ hypothalamus/ posterior pituitary/ pineal
lateral hypothalamus
hunger/ thirst
ventromedial hypothalamus
stop eating you’re fat
anterior hypothalamus
controls sexual behaviour
septal nuclei
primary pleasure centre
Striate cortex
Same fucking thing as visual cortex
Fornix
Connection of the hippocampus to the limbic system
