Q
Hindbrain
Medulla and cerebellum
A
Medulla- regulates most autonomic functions
Ex:heartbeat
Cerebellum-regulates automated motor responses
Ex: driving and day dream at same time
4
Q
Midbrain:
Reticular formation,colliculi,localization
A
Reticular formation:regulates circadian rhythm
Ex:sleep and wakefulness
Colliculi:regulates sensory localization
Localization:where is it in relation to me
5
Q
Forebrain:
Thalamus,hypothalamus,limbic system,cerebral cortex
A
Thalamus:sensory switching station
Hypothalamus: regulates most autonomic functions
Limbic system:primary emotional center of the brain
Cerebral cortex:higher mental functions
