Brains three layers
Cerebral cortex subcortex limbic system
Cerebral cortex
Layers of specialized nerve cells called neurons that transfer information to. other nerve cells muscles and glands throughout the body
Parts of cerebral cortex
Pre-frontal cortex or frontal lobe parietal lobe temporal lobe occipital lobe
Occipital lobe
Part of cerebral cortex that deals vision back of cerebral cortex
Parietal lobe
Sensory association contains the sensory cortex and where are the outer surface of the body is mapped out
Temporal lobe
Under the parietal lobe it processes auditory info
Frontal lobe
Performs executive functions including planning ,decisions contains the primary motor cortex
Primary motor cortex
Strip in the frontal lobe on the other side of the Fissure
Primary motor cortex of the left hemisphere
Controls the right side of the body tends to be dominant in most people and controls language logic and processing things in sequence

Parts of the subcortex
Forebrain midbrain and hindbrain the midbrain and hindbrain form the brainstem
Structures of the hindbrain
Medulla pons and cerebellum
Medulla
Vegetative functions including blinking saliva and breathing
Pons
Bridges them a Doula to the rest of the brain controls blood levels of CO2 or hydrogen during sleep
Cerebellum
