Amygdala
|
Limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion, particularly fear and aggresion.
|
|
|
cerebral dominance
|
tendency of each brain hemisphere to exert control over different functions, such as language or percetption of spatial relationships.
|
|
|
brain stem
|
most primitive of the brain's three major layers. It includes the medulla, pons, and the reticular information.

|
|
|
Motor cortex
|
narrow vertical strip of cortex in teh frontal lobes, lying just in front of the central fissure; controls voluntary movement.
|
|
|
reticular formation
|
pencil-shaped structure forming the core of the brain stem. the reticular formation arouses the cortex to keep the brain alert and attentive to new stimulation

|
|
|
medulla
|
brain stem structure tehat controls breathing and heart rate. The sensory and motor pathways connecting the brain to the body cross in the medulla
|
|
|
Motor cortex
|
narrow vertical strip of cortex in teh frontal lobes, lying just in front of the central fissure; controls voluntary movement.
|
|
|
visual cortex
|
the visual processing areas of cortex in the occipital and temporal lobes
|
|
|
reticular formation
|
pencil-shaped structure forming the core of the brain stem. the reticular formation arouses the cortex to keep the brain alert and attentive to new stimulation
|
|
|
thalamus
|
brain's central 'relay station' situated just atop the brain stem. Nearly all the messages going into or out of the brain go through the thalamus
|
|
|
medulla
|
brain stem structure tehat controls breathing and heart rate. The sensory and motor pathways connecting the brain to the body cross in the medulla
|
|
|
corpus caalosum
|
the band of nerve cells that connects the two cerebral hemispheres.
|
|
|
visual cortex
|
the visual processing areas of cortex in the occipital and temporal lobes
|
|
|
frontal lobes
|
cortical regions at the front of the brain that are especially involved in movement and in thinking
