Heartbeat and breathing and is in the brainstem

Regulates consciousness, sleep-wake cycles, motor tone, and vital autonomic functions. Within brainstem.

Reticular Activation system

Regulates arousal, wakefulness, and selective attention. Within brainstem. Also filters incoming stimuli and replays important info.

Coordinates voluntary movements and balance. Located behind the brain and is the big mushy chunk behind brainstem.

Receives sensory info(besides smell) and routes it to the higher brain. Middle of the brain, looks like a jellybean. Limbic system.

Releases hormones that influence growth and controls all the other glands. Front of the brain and behind the nose. Limbic system.

Responsible for emotions and drives. Includes the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Amgydala, Corpus Callosum, and Hippocampus.

Regulates all aspects of behavior that are regulated by hormones. Middle of the brain, located under the Thalamus. Limbic system.

Involved in the memory process. Shaped like a seahorse and is located around the middle of the brain. Limbic system.

Processes emotions such as rage, fear, pleasure, and sadness. Also responsible for fight or flight response. Almond shaped and is front of hippocampus or in the temporal lobe. Limbic system.

Coordinates movement, sleep, and dreams. Located in the the lower brainstem.

Band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres. Located in the limbic system.

For vision and vision processing. At the back of the brain and above cerebellum.

For recognizing patterns. Occipital Lobe.

For auditory processing. Bottom of the brain.

Involved in processing speech sounds. Temporal Lobe.

Controls language and reception. Cannot affect comprehension of words and processing of info if damaged. Temporal Lobe.

Processing of sensory information such as touch/pain. Upper back of the brain.

Involved in constructing an understanding of what is being felt. Parietal Lobe.

Involved in making plans and judgements. In the front of the brain, duh.

Controls voluntary movements. Frontal Lobe

Expression of personality and appropriate social behavior. Frontal Lobe.

Involved in controlling language expression and muscle movement involved in speech(motor speech). Frontal Lobe.

Involved in sensory guidance of movement. Frontal Lobe
