Integrated brain functions: thinking, conceptualizing, planning, conscious appreciation of emotion, motor
behavior, expressive language, orientation

Mostly handles visual processing areas

Front 5

Medulla oblongata

Back 5

(continuation of the spinal cord into the brain) – controls breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, skeletal muscle tone

Front 6

The reptilian brain, or brainstem

Back 6

contains structures necessary to keep us alive: (Medulla oblongata and Pons_

Front 7

Pons

Back 7

connects the medulla, and extends into, the midbrain reticular activating formation – governs alertness, waking, sleeping, muscle tone, some reflexes

Front 8

Midbrain

Back 8

continuation of the brainstem; midbrain “subthalamus” + basal ganglia + cerebellum make up the extrapyramidal motor system. All information passing from spinal cord to the higher brain goes through this area or structure

Front 9

Cerebellum

Back 9

“little brain” – critical for smooth, coordinated movement, balance; also connected to auditory and visual systems.

Front 10

Midbrain, pons, & medulla oblongata

Back 10

Connect cerebral hemispheres and the thalamus-hypothalamus to spinal cord
Contain reticular activating system, most of the nuclei of the cranial nerves, and the major tracts from the spinal cord
Coordinate swallowing, vomiting, and reflex activity of the heart and respiratory systems

Front 11

Limbic System

Back 11

Also part of the Mammalian Brain,

Helps us attach emotional meaning to sensory stimulation. Different definitions of inclusion – what constitutes this system - exist.
by most definitions it includes the amygdala, the septum, the hippocampus, and portions of the thalamus, and basal ganglia.

Front 12

Limbic system

Back 12

Archaic term for hypothalamus, amygdala, septum, olfactory nuclei, basal ganglia, and hippocampus

Critical in motivation
Helps integrate motor, cognitive and motivational systems

Front 13

Hippocampus

Back 13

crucial to formation of recent memories

Front 14

amygdala

Back 14

integrates and directs emotional behavior, attaches emotional significance to what the senses signal, and mediates defensive aggressive behavior.
Damage produces fear and aggression

Front 15

septum

Back 15

inhibits emotionality. Damage produces uninhibited rage and aggression (septal rage syndrome). Also part of pleasure center.

Front 16

moves signals from short term memory to long term memory.

Back 16

moves signals from short term memory to long term memory.

Front 17

basal ganglia

Back 17

lie at the central regions of the cerebral hemispheres and are systems of cellular nuclei which effect voluntary movement. They are the primary part of the extrapyramidal motor system.

Front 18

Amygdala

Back 18

has a central role in anxiety states
Transmits signals to the cortices, limbic areas and brain stem structures

Consider:
Panic disorder
Generalized anxiety
Social phobia
Agoraphobia
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Obsessive compulsive

Front 19

New Brain(Neocortex)

Back 19

There are two halves to the upper portion of the brain – hemispheres.
The outermost portion of each cerebral hemisphere is called the cortex. This is what allows us to think, be self aware.
The cortex is divided into 4 lobes by deep grooves in the surface (sulci) – frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal.
The frontal lobes are involved in motor behavior, expressive language, concentration, orientation (time, place, person), thinking and reasoning. These lobes contain the pyramidal system that is involved with fine, intricate movements.

Front 20

Broca’s area,

Back 20

The left frontal lobe contains this portion of the brain which helps in speech production (expressive). If damaged – expressive aphasia.

Front 21

The temporal lobes

Back 21

are related to receptive language, memory, and emotion. They contain Wernicke’s area, which helps in comprehending language. If damaged – receptive aphasia.

Front 22

left frontal lobe

Back 22

contains Broca's area, which helps in speech production (expressive). If damaged – expressive aphasia.

Front 23

Wernicke’s area

Back 23

The temporal lobes are related to receptive language, memory, and emotion. They contain this portion or area of the area, which helps in comprehending language. If damaged – receptive aphasia

Front 24

Parietal lobes

Back 24

contain the somatosensory cortex, which receives and identifies sensory information from skin receptors, and processes visual and auditory information. Damage here can cause Gertsmann syndrome – inability to write, mathematically calculate, or distinguish between right and left

Front 25

Gertsmann syndrome

Back 25

inability to write, mathematically calculate, or distinguish between right and left.

Front 26

Spinal Cord

Back 26

the Traffic Controller or mediator. It transmits impulses to and from the brain and the body.

part of the Central Nervous System because it merges into the brainstem.

connects to the Peripheral Nervous System (everything outside the CNS).

Front 27

Peripheral Nervous System

Back 27

everything in the nervous system outside the CNS

Front 28

Central Nervous System (CNS):

Back 28

Brain and Spinal Cord

Front 29

Peripheral Nervous System

Back 29

Somatic (sense receptors, skeletal
muscles)
Autonomic (visceral) - involuntary

Front 30

Sympathetic nervous system

Back 30

active in arousal – fight or flight

Front 31

Parasympathetic nervous system

Back 31

active in conservation of energy – return to homeostasis
