4.

Caudate Nucleus

ONE OF THE STRUCTURES THAT MAKES UP THE DORSAL STRIATUM (ASSOCIATED WITH PARKINSON'S) [two of them]
5.

THALAMUS

LARGE MASS OF GRAY MATTER IN THE DORSAL PART OF THE DIENCEPHALON, WHICH RELAYS SENSORY SIGNALS (two of them)
6.

Fornix

A "C" shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain
7.

Mid-Brain

portion of the central nervous system. It is associated with vision, hearing, and sleeping.
8.

Amygdala

(one of two) performs a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses
9.

Hippocampus
major component of the brain (one of two) it consolidated information from short-term to long-term

10.

Globus Pallidus

subcortical part of the brain
11.

CEREBRAL AQUEDUCT

within the mid-brain that contains cerebrospinal fluid and connects the 3rd ventricle to the 4th ventricle
12.

Pineal Gland

IT PRODUCES MELATONIN WHICH MONITORS SLEEP PATTERNS
13.

MAMMILLARY BODIES

A pair of small round bodies located on the under surface of the brain that form part of the limbic system.
14.

HYPOTHALAMUS

Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland
15.

OPTIC CHIASM

WHERE THE OPTIC NERVES PARTIALLY CROSS AND IS IMMEDIATELY INFERIOR TO THE HYPOTHALAMUS
16.

PONS

part of the brainstem and lies inferior to the mid-brain
17.

CEREBELLUM

(two of them) plays an important role in motor control, and is also involved in cognitive functions
18.

MEDULLA OBLONGATA

long stem like structure located in the brainstem, responsible for involuntary functions ranging from vomiting to sneezing
19.

Putamen
a round structure located at eye base of the forebrain that regulates movement at various stages and also plays a role in parkinson's disease

20.

Frontal Lobe

it is responsible for decision making and reasoning.
21.

Corpus Callosum

connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
22.

Limbic System

responsible for processing, learning, memory, and emotion.
23.

Occipital Lobe

interprets vision
24.

Brain Stem

provides the main motor and sensory nerve supply to the face and neck
