Forebrain divide in
Telencephalon and Diencephalon
Midbrain divide in
Mesencephalon
Hindbrain divide in
Metencephalon and Myelencephalon
Frontal lobe (functions)
planning, thinking, executing behavior
Parietal lobe (functions)
sensorimotor functions, perceiving, learning
Temporal lobe (functions)
hearing, reading, face recognition, memory
Occipital lobe (functions)
vision
Telencephalon divide in
Limbic system and Basal Ganglia
Limbic system (functions)
emotion, learning
Basal Ganglia (functions)
motor-control
Diencephalon divide in
Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Pineal Gland
Pineal Gland (function)
produces melatonin (regulates sleep)
Pituitary Gland (function)
releases or inhibits hormones
Different Planes
