synapses
chemical messenger of the body
neurotransmitter
carry information to the brain (receive)
neurons
carry information from brain (send) to the body.
motor neurons
include cerebrum the largest brain division.
forebrain
2 subdivision of forebrain

4 division of telencephalon
- frontal lobe
- parietal lobe
- occipital lobe
- temporal lobe
diencephalon
-central portion of brain
-epithalamus
-subthalamus
-thalamus
-hypothalamus
