|---|---|
| Which brain division? Conscious thought processes, memory storage/processing, conscious/subconscious regulation of skeletal muscles. | Cerebrum |
| Which brain division? Relay and processing centers for sensory information. | Diencephalon (thalamus) |
| Which brain division? Centers controlling emotions, autonomic functions, and hormone production. | Diencephalon (hypothalamus) |
| Which brain division? processing visual/auditory data, generation of reflexive somatic motor responses, maintenance of consciousness. | Brain stem (mesencephalon) |
| Which brain division? Relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus, subconscious somatic/visceral motor centers, and helps regulate respiration | Brain stem (pons) |
| Which brain division? Relays sensory information to thalamus and other portions of the brain stem, autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function (digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory) | Brain stem (medulla oblongata) |
