secondary: telencephalon
Regions: cerebral cortex basal ganglia amygdala hippocampus
Ventricles:
lateral x2
foramen of monro
Primary: forebrain
(prosencephalon)

Primary: hindbrain
(rhombencephalon)
mye
secondary: myelencephalon
Regions: medulla
Ventricles: central canal
precentral gyrus
Region: frontal lobe
Function: voluntary movement of muscles of body and head region
Associated disorder: loss of voluntary movement of body and head region
Premotor region
Region: frontal lobe
Function: aids and integrates voluntary movement of body
Associated disorder: apraxia (loss of abilyt to carry out complex movements of body and head)
Frontal eye fields
Region: frontal lobe
Function: contros voluntary horizontal movement of the eyes
Associated disorder: loss of voluntary control of horizontal eye movement (eyes cannot deviate to side opposite lesion)
Prefrontal cortex
Region: frontal lobe
Function: intellectual functions, affective processes
Associated disorder: intellectual and emotional impairment
Brocas motor speech area
Region: frontal lobe
Function: regulates motor aspects of speech
Associated disorder: motor aphasia
Postcentral gyrus
Region: parietal lobe
Function: conscious perception of somesthetic sensation
Associated disorder: loss of somatosensory perception
Wernicke;s area
Region: parietal lobe
Function: receptive integration of speech
Associated disorder: loss of somatosensory perception
Superior parietal lobule
Region: parietal lobe
Function: integration of sensory and motor functions; progamming mechanism for motor responses
Associated disorder: posterior parietal syndrome, sensory neglect, apraxia
Superior temporal gyrus
Region: temporal lobe
Function: auditory perception
Associated disorder: loss of auditory perception
Middle temporal gyrus
Region: temporal lobe
Function: detection of moving objects
Associated disorder: loss of movement detection
Inferior temporal gyrus
Region: temporal lobe
Function: recognition of faces
Associated disorder: loss of facial recognition
Upper and lower banks of calcarine sulcus
Region: occipital lobe
Function: visual perception
Associated disorder: partia or total loss of vision of the contralateral visual fields for both eyes, depending on the extend of the lesion in the visual cortex
Lateral, third, and fourth ventricales and cerebral aqueduct
Region: ventricles of the brain
Function: flow of CSF throughout the CNS. source of electrolytes and conduit of neuroactive and metabolic products
Associated disorder: hydrocephalus
