Health effects of stress can result in all of the following EXCEPT:

Brainstem

central trunk of the brain connecting to the spinal cord; consists of the medulla, pons, and midbrain, controlling mostly automatic functions

Medulla

contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and therefore deals with the autonomic functions of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.

Olfactory Bulbs

perceive information deal with olfaction (smell)

Cerebral Cortex

two hemispheres are joined beneath the cortex by the corpus callosum. The cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness

Occipital Lobe

vision

Corpus Callosum

white matter at the center of the brain connecting the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex

Somatosensory cortex

middle of parietal lobe, deals with sensory information (soft, hot, cold, etc.)

Pons

deals primarily with sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture

Hypothalamus

controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms

Temporal Lobe

hearing

Hippocampus

important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation

Thalamus

large mass of gray matter with several functions such as relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness

Cerebellum

plays an important role in motor control, and it may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language as well as in regulating fear and pleasure responses, but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established

Amygdala

primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional reactions, the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system.

Parietal Lobe

sensory: touch and body position

Frontal Lobe

speaking, planning, logic, personality, abstract thinking, problem solving

Limbic System

the limbic system is a set of brain structures that includes the olfactory bulbs, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and amygdala

Motor Cortex

the motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements

Reticular Formation

the reticular formation is a set of interconnected nuclei that are located throughout the brainstem playing a crucial role in maintaining behavioral arousal and consciousness
