Medulla: large swelling at the top of the spinal cord. It is responsible for life-sustaining functions such as breathing, swallowing, and heart rate.
Pons: larger swelling above the medulla.
Reticular Formation: area of neurons running through the middle of the medulla and the pons and slightly beyond that is responsible for general attention, alertness, and arousal.
Cerebellum: part of the lower brain that controls and coordinates involuntary, rapid, and fine motor movement.
Limbic System: group of brain structures located under the cortex and involved in learning, emotion, memory, and motivation.
Thalamus: part of the forebrain that relays information from the sensory organs to the cerebral cortex.
Hypothalamus: part of the forebrain that regulates the amount of fear, thirst, sexual drive, and aggression we feel.
Hippocampus: plays a role in our learning, memory, and ability to compare sensory information to expectations.
Amygdala: located near the hippocampus, responsible for fear responses and memory of fear.
Cortex: outermost covering of the brain. It is responsible for higher thought processes and interpretation of sensory input.
Corpus Callosum: thick band of neurons that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
Occipital Lobe: lower bottom section of the brain located in both hemispheres. It contains the visual centers of the brain.
Parietal Lobes: located at the top and back of each hemisphere, the parietal lobes contain the centers for touch, taste, and temperature sensations.
Temporal Lobes: located along the side; contains neurons responsible for sense of hearing and meaningful speech.
Frontal Lobes: located in the front and top and is responsible for higher mental processes and decision making as well as the production of fluent speech.
