what part of the brain is the cerebellum in
hindbrain
what are the basal ganglia and what is their function
collection of nuclei, control of movement, reward systems
what structures make up the basal ganglia
striatum - caudate nucleus, putamen and the globus pallidus
what structures are in the limbic system
limbic cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, fornix, mammillary bodies
function of the limbic system
emotion, learning and memory
what does the thalamus look like and what does it do
two lobes (balls), receives info from and relays to the cortex
what division of the brain is the hypothalamus in and what does it do
diencephalon, fight or flight response - controls the autonomic nervous system

tectum, tegmentum
brain stem in order from brain down
midbrain, pons, medulla
