PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The parts of the brain
Corpus Callosum
The corpus callosum consists of a large bundle of fibers connecting the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Amygdala
The amygdala is involved in processing emotions, and fear–learning.
Dentate Gyrus
The dentate gyrus may play an important role in translating complex neural codes from cortical areas into simpler code
Brain Stem
It plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis
Broca's Area
Broca's area is involved mainly in the making of spoken and written language and also in language processing and comprehension.
Cerebellum
The cerebellum monitors and regulates motor behavior, particularly automatic movements
Cingulate Gyrus
The cingulate gyrus is thought to directly drive the body's conscious response to unpleasant experiences
Hypothalamus
It controls many autonomic functions such as hunger, thirst, and body temperature
Hippocampus
It is important as an early storage place for long–term memory
Occipital Lobe
The occipital cortex is the primary visual area of the brain.
Perirhinal Cortex
The perirhinal cortex plays an important role in object recognition and in storing information
The Pons
The pons is the region in the brain most closely associated with breathing
Premotor Cortex
It is involved in preparing and executing limb movements
Primary Motor Cortex
The primary motor cortex is critical to initiating motor movements.
Somatosensory Cortex
The somatosensory cortex receives tactile information from the body.
Subiculum
This deals with learning and memory
Superior Temporal Gyrus
It is responsible for processing sounds.
Thalamus
It is involved in relaying info between the cortex and brain stem and within different cortical structures
Wernicke's Area
It is a functionally defined structure that is involved in language comprehension
(Dorsolateral) Prefrontal Cortex
It is a critical part of the executive system, which does planning, reasoning, and judgment.
(Medial) Prefrontal Cortex
It is a critical part of the executive system, which does planning, reasoning, and judgment
The Basal Ganglia
It regulates the initiation of movements, balance, eye movements, and posture.
The Limbic System
It is a group of brain structures that is involved in processing and regulating emotions, memory,
