Brain Region
Major Sensory
-
Vision: The visual area is located on the calcimine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe.
Hearing: Located on the transfers gyri that lie on the back of the superior temporal convolution of the temporal lobes.
-
Midbrain
- receives and processes visual and auditory input
- generates somatic motor responses
-
Medulla Oblongata
- relays messages to the thalamus and spinal cord
- send and receive information back and forth from the spinal cord and cerebellum
- controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and sneezing
-
Epithalamus:
Posterior commissure
- forms the caudal border of the epithalamus
Pineal gland
- secretes the hormone melatonin
- regulates the sleep-wake cycle
Limbic System:
Major Function
Emotional-Visceral Brain:
- Recognize fearful or angry expressions
- Assess Danger
- Express emotions via gestures and resolve mental conflict
- Assist in regulating emotional state and autonomic function
- Strong emotional connections to odors
- Allows us to be conscious of our emotions and what we're feeling
- Allows us to be aware of emotions richness
- Connected to psychosomatic illness
Major Structures
- Amygdaloid Body - recognize expressions and evaluate danger, response to threats
- Fornix - links limbic system parts together
- Cingulate Gyrus - express emotions through gestures
Pons
- delivers sensory information to cerebellum and hypothalamus
- connects upper and lower parts of the brain
Cerebrum
Cerebral Cortex
-
Association area: processes sensory information and forms connections between sensory and motor areas
-
Sensory area: receive sensory input (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste)
-

Thalamus
Major Functions:
- Relay station for information coping intro cerebral cortex
2.Afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body converge on the thalamus and synapse with at least one of its nuclei
- within the thalamus information is sorted out and and edited
- All inputs ascending to the cerebral cortex funnel through thalamic nuclei
- plays a key role in mediating sensation, motor activities, cortical arousal, learning, and memory
Hypothalamus
Major Functions:
- Caps the brain stem and forms the inferolateral walls of the third ventricle
Cerebellum:
Main function
- provides precise timing and appropriate patterns of skeletal muscle contraction ofr smooth, coordinated movements
- agility including daily activities such as driving, typing, and playing the piano for example
