17 structures of the brain

Hypothalamus & Posterior Pituitary

Below thalamus, HOMEOSTASIS

Cerebrum

Biggest piece of the brain, INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION

Medulla Oblangato

Bottom piece of brainstem

Brainstem

Breathing, circulation, digestion Sorting and sending incoming information from nerves, located at the bottom of the main body of the brain, hence the name

Corpus Collosum

Connects the hemispheres of the cerebrum, inbetween them

Cerebellum

Coordination, motor control, motor memory, adjacent to the brainstem, back part of brain

Motor Cortex

Inside of FRONTAL LOBE, adjacent to the somatosensory cortex

Somatosensory Cortex

Inside of PARIETAL LOBE, adjacent to the motor cortex

Temporal Lobe

Language, Hearing, and Memory, bottom lobe

Frontal Lobe

Lobe, Executive functions(emotion, decision, etc.)

Parietal Lobe

Lobe, Sensory, top of the brain, somewhat further back than it is close to the front

Occipital Lobe

Lobe, Vision, all the way at the back of brain

Cerebral Cortex

Made up by the lobes

Pons

Middle piece of brainstem

Thalamus

Sorts info for cerebrum, at about the center of the brain

Basal ganglia

Underneath corpus collosum, motor control

Midbrain

Upper piece of brainstem
