What does the Hypothalamus include?
Mamillary bodies
Function of Hypothalamus:
Control of ANS and pituitary gland and, thereby, regulates involuntary body functions, homeostasis
What does the Thalamus include?
Interthalamic adhesion = intermediate mass
Function of Thalamus:
Crude perception of sensations and emotions and relaying afferent/efferent impulses to/from the cerebrum

Intelligence, memory, awareness, and personality
Function of Longitudinal Fissure:
Divides cerebrum into cerebral hemispheres
Function of Left Cerebral Hemisphere:
Dominates in speech sounds and in understanding sequential, rational, and analytical concepts
Function of Right Cerebral Hemisphere:
Dominates in non-speech sounds (melodies, laughing, etc.), in spatial perception and in holistic, artistic and emotional concepts
Function of Frontal Lobe:
Voluntary control over muscles, learning, planning, higher psychological functions
Function of Parietal Lobe:
Perception of sensations of touch, temperature, taste, and body position (kinesthetic sensation)
Function of Temporal Lobe:
Perception of auditory sensations and related speech centers
Function of Occipital Lobe:
Perception of visual sensations
Function of Corpus Callosum and Anterior Commissure:
Communication between the two cerebral hemispheres
Function of Gyri and Sulci:
Increase surface area of cerebrum for exchange of nutrients/wastes to/from blood vessels in the pia mater
