    Study Notes

    Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland

    • Regulates homeostasis, including body temperature, hunger, and thirst.
    • Controls the pituitary gland, which releases hormones influencing growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes.

    Central Nervous System

    • Composed of the brain and spinal cord, located within the skull and spine.
    • Coordinates sensory information and motor output.

    Thalamus

    • Acts as a relay station for sensory information before it reaches the cortex.
    • Plays a role in regulating sleep and wakefulness.

    Brain Functions

    • The cerebellum coordinates fine muscle movements and balance.
    • The limbic system is involved in emotions, memory formation, and motivation.
    • The corpus callosum connects the left and right hemispheres, facilitating communication.

    Midbrain and Hindbrain

    • The midbrain is primarily responsible for processing visual and auditory information and controlling reflexes.
    • The hindbrain controls vital functions like breathing and heart rate, and coordinates movement.

    Areas of the Brain

    • The occipital lobe primarily regulates visual processing.
    • The structures involved in cognition, planning, and emotional responses include the prefrontal cortex.

    Spinal Cord

    • Serves as a pathway for information traveling between the brain and the peripheral nervous system.
    • It also processes reflexes independently of the brain.

    Cognitive and Emotional Processing

    • The part of the brain responsible for learning and memory is the hippocampus.
    • The amygdala is primarily associated with emotion processing, particularly aggression and fear.

    Motor Output Division

    • Initiates and regulates voluntary muscle movements throughout the body.
