Three Levels
of Neuronal Messaging
• communication across the synapse

Brain Anatomy:

similar to the cerebrum in that it has two hemispheres and has a highly folded surface or cortex. This structure is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, and balance.
Cerebellum
Brain Anatomy:

sensory and motor functions. Almost all sensory information enters this structure where neurons send that information to the overlying cortex.
Thalamus
Brain Anatomy:

regulates homeostasis, emotion, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous system
Hypothalamus
Brain Anatomy:

important for learning and memory . . . for converting short term memory to more permanent memory, and for recalling spatial relationships in the world about us
Hippocampus
Brain Anatomy:

deals with autonomic, involuntary functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
Medulla
Brain Anatomy:

• involved in motor control and initial analysis of sensory input

• It has parts that are important for the level of consciousness and for sleep.
Pons
Layers of the Triune Brain
• Reptilian Brain
• Paleo-Mammalian Brain (Limbic)
• Neomammalian Brain (Neocortex)
the process whereby the brain radically reduces the number of synapses it maintains during adolescent brain growth.

It appears that the rapid brain development in infancy results in activity that can be subsequently discarded in order to achieve greater speed and efficiency in the adult brain.
Synaptic Pruning
the ability of the brain to change the structure and function of many of its parts to meet different needs over time. The brain is particularly capable of this change when it is in childhood.
