Coronal Sections

Left superior frontal gyrus- involved in syllable production

Left middle frontal gyrus

Left inferior frontal gyrus-  controller of the motor aspect of speech production

Gyrus Rectus (lol)- probably involved in higher cognitive function such as personality

Genu of the Corpus Callosum (connects the hemispheres)

Caudate Nucleus- motor skills and possibly sense and emotion (Middleton et al, 2000)

Putamen- movement and learning

Septum Pallucidium- separates the front of the left and right lateral ventricles

Temporal Lobe- processes sensory input into appropriate visual memories, associated language and emotional association

Caudate Nucleus- motor control, but maybe also emotion and learning (Middleton & Strick, 2000)

Corpus Callosum- connects the hemispheres

Optic Nerve and Chiasm- the part where the optic nerves cross

Lateral Ventricle- protection, circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, general immunity and regulation of minerals etc

Anterior Cerebral Artery- gives oxygenated blood to the frontal lobes and the front of the parietal lobes

Anterior Commissure- connects the two hemispheres of the temporal lobe together

Internal Capsule- carries information related to motor function

Putamen-influences learning

Globus Pallidus- regulates voluntary movement

Amygdala- memory, decision making, emotional reactions

Nucleus Basalis of Meynert - handles ratio of top down and bottom up processing in vision, and memory malleability

Sylvian Fissure (sulcus)

Insular cortex

Anterior Commisure

Internal Capsule

External Capsule

Claustrum - probably hemispherical communication, but nobody really knows

Insular Cortex- consciousness and homeostasis

Body of Caudate

Mamilliary Bodies

Mammilothalmic Tract- associated with memory
