Study Notes
Occipital Lobe
- Primary function is processing visual information.
- Contains the primary visual cortex, which interprets signals from the eyes.
- Involved in recognizing shapes, colors, and motion.
Cerebellum
- Primarily coordinates voluntary movements and balance.
- Responsible for fine-tuning physical movements for precision.
- Plays a role in motor learning and muscle tone regulation.
Brain Stem
- Controls essential life-sustaining functions, including heart rate and breathing.
- Serves as a communication pathway between the brain and spinal cord.
- Regulates alertness, sleep cycles, and reflexes.
Hippocampus
- Closely associated with the formation of new memories.
- Plays a crucial role in learning and spatial navigation.
- Involved in converting short-term memories into long-term storage.
Frontal Lobe
- Main function includes higher cognitive processes such as decision-making and problem-solving.
- Governs personality, emotional expression, and social behavior.
- Involved in planning, organization, and motor control.
