Cerebellum • Functions: coordination, balance, muscle tone
Brainstem • Functions: most basic functions of life (reflexes, breathing, sleep), connects the brain to the rest of the body • Parts: midbrain, medulla oblongata, pons, diencephalon
Thalamus • Functions: relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex,consciousness, sleep, alertness
Hypothalamus • Functions: body temperature, hunger, sexual behavior, thirst, fatigue, sleep
Hippocampus • Functions: formation of memory, spatial navigation
Amygdala • Functions: emotions, particularly fear, rage, and violence
