Somatosensory cortex essential to the processing of the body's senses
Primary auditory cortex important for interpreting sounds and the language we hear
Temporal lobe associated with memory, speech perception, and language skills

Medulla controls vital autonomic functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure
Pons connects the medulla to the cerebellum; stimulates breathing and controls sleep cycles
Cerebellum controls posture, balance, coordination of voluntary movements, and certain cognitive functions including speech
Thalamus processes and transmits movement and sensory information
Hypothalamus controls hunger, thirst, emotions, body temperature regulation, and circadian rhythms
