Biology: Hindbrain, Midbrain, Forebrain Flashcards

The most caudal division which includes the cerebellum, pons, and medulla; responsible for involuntary processes: blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, breathing, sleep cycles.

The middle division of the brain lying between the hindbrain and forebrain responsible for hearing and sight; includes parts of the temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and most of the parietal lobe.

The top of the brain which includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex; responsible for emotional regulation, complex thought, and memory aspect of personality.
