|
|
Long-term memory |
Most stable form Repeated recall of new information |
|
|
Memory consolidation |
Associate new info with what is already known |
|
|
Diencephalon |
Surrounds 3rd ventricle |
|
|
The diencephalon |
consists mostly of nuclei Thalamus and hypothalamus |
|
|
Thalamus |
Major part of diencephalon Sensory relay station (all senses except smell) |
|
|
Hypothalamus is located |
Below thalamus and atop brain stem |
|
|
The hypothalamus is interconnected to the |
cerebral cortex thalamus other brain stem |
|
|
Functions of the hypothalamus |
homeostasis Viscreal control center Collection of nuclei |
|
|
Functions of hypo |
Control of ANS Regulation of HR, BP, body temperature, sleep Movements in digestive tract |
|
|
Mammillary bodies is located |
posterior to infundibulum |
|
|

|
|
Structures of the midbrain |
Midbrain, pons, and medulla |
|
|
Midbrain |
Joins brain stem and cord with cerebrum |
|
|
Pons |
Transmits impulses to and form cerebellum |
|
|
Medulla oblongata |
Autonomic functions (Sneezing, vomiting, breathing, salivation) |
|
|
Reticular formation |
Nuclei scattered in medulla, pons, midbrain Activates cortex to wake up |
|
|
The reticular formation ceases to function when |
Unconscious can't be aroused In coma |
|
|
Cerebellum |
Muscular activity Sensory information Integrates information Sends coordination plan to motor cortex Functions at unconscious level |
