Located in the cerebral hemisphere, processes sensory information, pain, touch , etc.

Located in the cerebral hemisphere, processes visual information (color, form, motion, and facial recognition)

Located in the cerebral hemisphere, performs audio projection, memory formation, and higher visual processing

Located in the cerebral hemisphere, performs motor and high order executive functions

This is a layer of matter that covers the cerebral hemispheres and is associated with higher cognitive functions (language, learning, perception, planning) mostly consists of neocortex

Nerve fibers that connect the cerebral hemispheres with each other and the two sides of the brain

Located in the hindbrain of the brainstem, performs muscle contractions and maintains balance (equilibrium) HIGHER functioning- speaking, thinking, perceiving

Located in the frontal lobe, responsible for voluntary movements

Located in the cerebral cortex, it receives sensory input from the thalamus

Located in the cerebral hemisphere, produces speech

Located in toward the back of the left hemisphere of the cerebrum, interpretation of sounds

The innermost part of an organ (brainstem)

Located in brainstem cell bodies it performs arousal, alertness and sleep

Located in the midbrain, it is a part of the brainstem controls balance and voluntary movements

This is matter along diencephalon of the brain, helps with sensory, motor, and autonomic functions. Directs messages to certain parts of the brain (limbic system)

Also located in the diencephalon of the brain, controls sleep, flight-flight, eating, drinking of the body and internal and external stimuli (limbic system)

Located in the temporal lobe (within the limbic system, and the basal ganglia) its functions are working memory, autonomic control, emotion regulation, perception of threat and, fear learning

Located in the temporal lobe, its functions are declarative memory and learning (limbic system)
