cerebellum is in charge of

A

coordinates and sequences body movement

24
Q

cerebral cortex

A

higher order processing and complex behaivours

25
Q

corpus collosum

A

connects left and right hemispheres of cerebral cortex

26
Q

Limbic system is comprised of

A

amydgala and hippocampus

27
Q

amygdala is

A

responsible for aggression and fear emotional memory

28
Q

hippocampus is

A

long term memory and spatial orientation

29
Q

forebrain

A

upper level structure

30
Q

midbrain

A

coordinates movement sleep and arousal

31
Q

brainstem

A

regulates reflex survival responses

32
Q

what is contralateral organisation

A

left primary motor cortex is responsible for movement of right side of body and right motor cortex is responsible for movement on the left side of the body

33
Q

contralateral organisation states

A

messages from left side of the body will be responsible for actions on right side of the body and vice versa

34
Q

hemispheric specialisation is

A

lobes and primary cortices in each hemisphere receive information from the opposite side of a human body

35
Q

contralaterised vs laterised

A

contralaterise means they work together where as laterised refers to a certain hemisphere of the brain is generally responsible for a certain area, such as left and language
