Saggital Sections

Cingulate gyrus of the frontal lobe

Parietal Lobe

Genu of Corpus Callosum- front bit of the area that connects the two hemispheres

Splenium of Corpus Callosum

Thalamus- handles consciousness, sleep and some sense and motor signals

Midbrain- deals with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation

Pons- handles sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture

Medulla Oblongata- autonomic function

Fourth Ventricle- filled with cerebrospinal fluid, regulates blood flow and protects the pons and medulla

Anterior Vermis of Cerebellum- a fissure on the front of the cerebellum, deals with posture and locomotion

Tectum of Midbrain- roof of the midbrain (visual and auditory processing)

Mammillary Body- relay impulses coming from the amygdalae and the hippocampus to the thalmus (deals with the limbic system)

Optic Chiasm- the point in the brain where the optic nerves cross

Septum Pellucidum- thin double membrane that separates the anterior horns of the left and right ventricles

Cingulate Gyrus

Anterior Cerebral artery

Aqueduct of Sylvius- aka cerebral aqueduct, carries cerebrospinal fluid and connects the third and fourth ventricle

Foramen of Monro- channels that allow passage of cerebrospinal fluid from the lateral and third ventricles

Fourth Ventricle

Mammillary Body

Optic Chiasm

Pineal Gland- produces melatonin from serotonin, which modulates sleep

Posterior Commissure- handles pupil reactions to bilateral light
