The Brain Flashcards
what is the hindbrain split into
cerebellum, medulla
mid brain is split into
part of reticular formation
forebrain is split into
hypothalamus, thalamus, cerebrum
left and right hemisphere can be further split into
frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe
occipital lobe -> cortex
primary visual cortex
frontal lobe -> cortex
primary motor cortex
pariteal lobe -> cortex
somatosensory cortex
temporal lobe -> cortex
primary auditory cortex
reticular formation is
responsible for sleeping, waking, dreaming and sleep cycle
cerebrum is a part of
forebrain
cerebrum is responsible for
cerebral cortex, front of brain responsible for higher ordee thinking, frontal lobe seperated by central fissure
hypothalamus is part of
forebrain
hypothalamus is responsible for
control of basic survival actions
sleep, body temp, expression emotions, four F’s. Feeding, Fighting, Fleeing Fortification
thalamus is part of
forebrain
thalamus is responsible for
processing sensory stimuli, which of the incoming sensory information is most relevant for us to pay attention to
