DIVISIONS OF THE BRAIN Forebrain Midbrain Hindbrain Cerebrum Thalamus Hypothalamus Cerebral peduncle Tectum Brainstem Cerebellum Pons Medulla Oblongata Sagittal View of the Brain
FUNCTIONAL REGIONS OF THE BRAIN The Cerebrum The Cerebellum The Brain Stem
ANATOMY OF THE CEREBRUM Cerebral Hemispheres (View from Above) Right Left
FUNCTIONS OF THE CEREBRUM • Frontal lobe: • Voluntary movement • Higher intellectual functions • Temporal lobe: • Speech & Sound • Complex visual perceptions • Occipital lobe: • Vision • Parietal lobe: • Sensory processes • Attention • Language
ANATOMY OF THE CEREBELLUM 3 1 2 Spinal cord 1. Left Cerebellar Hemisphere 2. Right Cerebellar Hemisphere 3. Vermis
FUNCTION OF THE BRAINSTEM • Midbrain: • Visual & auditory processing and reflexes • Fine-tuning of voluntary movements • Pons: • Relay station for cerebellum • Control of sub-conscious movement • Medulla Oblongata: • Control of cardiovascular functions • Control of respiration • Control of gastrointestinal functions
RETICULAR FORMATION Functions: Regulation of autonomic functions, alertness and sleep
FUNCTIONS OF THE LIMBIC SYSTEM • Cingulate cortex: • Coordination of sensory signals • Emotion • Septal area: • Sexual arousal • Hippocampus: • Long-term memory development • Amygdala: • Aggression and fear • Hypothalamus: • Endocrine regulation • Body temperature • Regulation of thirst and hunger • Regulation of circadian rhythms
