Eppp Brain Anatomy

Front 1

Hindbrain

Back 1

1. Medulla
2. Pons
3. Cerebellum

Front 2

Hindbrain Functions

Back 2

Balance, Posture, Coordination

Front 3

Midbrain

Back 3

Reticular Activating System
(RAS)

Front 4

Midbrain Functions

Back 4

Consciousness, Arousal, Wakefulness

Front 5

Forebrain
(Cortical and Subcortical Structures)

Back 5

1. Thalamus
2. Hypothalamus
3. Basal Ganglia
3. Limbic System

Front 6

Thalamus Functions
(Forebrain)

Back 6

Relay station for all sensory input except Olfaction

Front 7

Hypothalamus Functions
(Forebrain)

Back 7

1. responsible for vital functions of hunger, thirst and temperature regulation
2. Integrates responses needed to maintain internal homeostasis
3. SCN mediates sleep-wake cycle

Front 8

Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN)

Back 8

located in hypothalamus. mediates sleep-wake cycle. SCN involved in Seasonal Affective Disorder

Front 9

SAD

Back 9

Seasonal Affective Disorder-Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN) seems involved.

Front 10

Basal Ganglia Functions
(Forebrain)

Back 10

plan, organize, and coordinate bodily movement
involved in motor movement symptoms of Huntington's and Parkinson's
also involved in expression of emotional states (smiling when happy, running when scared)

Front 11

Basal Ganglia Structures
(Forebrain)

Back 11

1. Caudate Nucleus
2. Putamen
3. Globus pallidus
4. Substantia Nigra

Front 12

Limbic System Functions
(Forebrain)

Back 12

Primarily associated with the mediation of emotion

Front 13

Limbic System
(Forebrain)

Back 13

1. Amygdala
2. Hippocampus

Front 14

Amydala
(Forebrain, Limbic System)

Back 14

1. attaches emotions to memories
2. integrates and directs motivational and emotional activities
3. involved in recall of emotionally-charged experiences
Bilateral lesions in Amygdala and temporal lobes can produce Kluver-Bucy Syndrome

Front 15

Hippocampus
(Forebrain, Limbic System)

Back 15

1. associated with learning and memory.
2. involved with processing visual, spatial, and verbal information.
3. consolidates declarative memories

Front 16

Kluver-Bucy Syndrome

Back 16

increased docility, hypersexuality, alterations in diet, psychic blindness caused by bilateral lesions in the Amygdala of the Limbic System.

Front 17

Psychic Blindness

Back 17

Inability to recognize significance or meaning of events or objects. Associated with bilateral lesions of Amygdala of the Limbic System.

Front 18

Declarative Memories

Back 18

Converting short-term memories to long-term. (I do declare this short is a long)
Function of the Hippocampus of the Limbic System (Forebrain)
