The Brainstem * • The Medulla Oblongata and the Pons controls breathing, heart rate, digestion • The Cerebellum controls coordination of movement and balance (Karate; Dance. Separate Section of the brain)
The Midbrain * • The Midbrain receives, integrates, and projects sensory information to the forebrain
Thalamus • conducts information to specific areas of cerebrum • _____________ • produces hormones and regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, sexual response, circadian rhythms
* • Cerebrum • with cortex and corpus callosum • higher thinking
Cerebrum * • Lateralization • Right – Pattern Recognition, Face Recongition, Spatial Relations, Nonverbal thinking • Left – Language, Math, Logical Operations
