- - - - Hippocampus: creates new memories
      - Amygdala: Integrates memory and emotion
    - - Integrates sensory information and relays it to other parts of the brain
    - - Sends hormonal signals to the rest of the body through the pituitary gland
    - - Beneath the thalamus
      - Contains neurons that coordinate eye movements and trigger reflexes to sounds
    - - Helps regulate complex body movements
    - - Roles in glucose regulation and sleep
      - Includes regions that help control movement
    - - Second largest part of the brain is volume
      - Contains over half of the brain's neurons
    - - Influences breathing and posture
    - - Carries nerve pathways
      - Connects brain to spinal cord
      - Contains neural networks that help control basic functions
- - - - regulate ion concentrations around neurons, provide them with nutrients, and help regulate the formation of new connections between neurons
    - - serve as phagocytes to protect brain from infection and cellular damage
    - - make up the cerebrospinal fluid that cushions brain inside skull
    - - improve neuron function by wrapping axons in myelin in CNS
    - - myelinate axons of neurons in PNS
