Hannah Neuroanatomy Flashcards
Spinal Cord Function
Input-output of sensory and motor information to and from the CNS-PNS
Medulla Function
Autonomic function (breathing, heart rate, etc. )
Pons Function
Auditory and vestibular (balance), sensory and motor
Cerebellum Function
Motor coordination and motor learning
Midbrain
Visuomotor functions, visual reflexes, auditory relays, motor coordination
Thalamus
(THINK RELAY) part of the diencephalon within the forebrain. Projects information to specific areas of the cerebrum, and controls which information is sent to the cerebral cortex
Hypothalamus
(THINK HORMONE) Regulates homeostasis in conjunction with the autonomic nervous system
Basal Ganglia
Centers for motor coordination
Hippocampus
Memory Formation
Amygdala
Emotion processing
Corpus Collosum
Bundles of axons which connects the two hemispheres
Limbic System
Primordial structure of emotional processing, includes amydala, hippocampus, fornix, and mamillary bodies
What are the 4 lobes of the brain?
Frontal, Temporal , Parietal , Occipital
Frontal Lobe
Executive function, cognitive control, movement
Temporal Lobe
Memory
