  4. Sulci
    small grooves in the brain
  5. Fissures

  6. Gyri
    the space inbetween adjacent fissures or sulci
  7. Limbic System
    • Image Upload 6
    • inside the cerebral cortex and includes amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, limbic cortex
  8. Basal Ganglia
    involved in the control of movement

    people with parkinsons disease have a degenerating BG
  9. Diencephalon
    includes the Thalamus and the Hypothalamus
  10. Thalamus
    has projection fibers that recieve and send sensory info to different areas of the cerebral cortex. pretty much the relay center
  11. Hypothalamus
    • Controls the ANS, the Endocrine system, and the 4 F's
    • Fighting, Feeding, Fleeing, Fucking
