What The Brain Does

I am involved in emotion - especially fear!

Amydala

Because of me, you can (usually) balance on one foot and touch your nose.

Cerebellum

I may look all crumpled, but I give you powers of higher thought.

Cerebral Cortex

Without me, you would not remember anything from this class tomorrow.

Hippocampus

I am responsible for the four Fs that are related to survival.

Hypothalamus (fighting, fleeing, feeding, mating)

I keep you alive dude - I keep you breathing and your heart beating.

Medulla

I secrete growth hormone and athletes can cheat by manipulating me.

Pituitary Gland

I help you sleep at night and, hopefully, stay awake during class.

Pons

If it were not for me, you would not experience sensory info, like a first kiss.

Thalamus
