-
Frontal Lobe
Holds primary motor cortex. Voluntary complex movement, judgement, attention, awareness, thinking, mood, aggression.
-
Broca's Area
In the frontal lobe. Most people in left lobe. Motor speech
-
Parietal Lobe
Primary sensory cortex, processor, perception (meaning), special body regions assigned (homunculus), short term memory.
-
Wernicke's Area
Hearing and understanding language. Temporal lobe, commonly the left.
-
Occipital Lobe.
Primary visual cortex. Responsible for sensory visual intake info at visual cortex.
-
Cerebellum
Balance, posture, coordination, and complex muscular movements. Monitors movement requested vs movement preferred.
-
Right Hemisphere.
Non-verbal, artistic, processing of info without looking at all details, grasp general concepts. Eye/hand coordination, spatial relationships, non-verbal communication (use and interpretation), body image, movement/posture, anger/unhappiness, aware of body image, perceiving negative emotions.
-
Left Hemisphere
Primary speech and language center. 95% of pop has Brocca's and Wernike's on left. Sequential, orderly, organized processing of info (logic, linear). Frontal and temporal recognize spoken/written words. Math calculations.. Positive emotions happiness/love. Sequencing of movements/performance/gestures.
-
Basal Ganglia
Group of nuclei located at the base of the cerebrum. Regulation of posture and muscle tone. Control motor planning in cerebrum.
-
Diencephalon
Synapse location for sensory tracts, visual, and auditory. Thalamus and hypothalamus.
-
Thalamus (group of nuclei)
Relay station for all sensory impulses traveling upward from the body (except smell), sends into to cerebrum for interpretation, relays to association areas.
-
Hypothalamus (group of nuclei)
Homeostasis, autonomic (hunger, thirst, body temp, BP, sleep/wake). Endocrine (hormones), ANS, controls pituitary gland.
-
Brain Stem
Midbrain, pons, and medulla.
-
Midbrain
Relay area for tracts passing between cerebrum and cerebellum or spinal cord.
-
Pons
Bundles of axons between cerebellum and the rest of the CNS. Regulates breathing. Orientation of head. Cranial nerves V-VIII (motor and sensory of face)
-
Medulla
Extension of spinal cord: motor and sensory for neck and mouth. Controls for HR, RR, reflex center for vomiting, sneezing, swallowing, homeostasis.
