Study Notes

Brain Functions and Structures

  • The medulla oblongata regulates basic bodily functions including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
  • The hypothalamus produces important hormones and plays a crucial role in temperature regulation, hunger, and the sleep-wake cycle.
  • The thalamus is the main sensory relay station, processing and integrating sensory information before sending it to appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex.
  • The cerebellum is responsible for coordination of movement, posture, and balance, ensuring smooth and precise motor activity.
  • The limbic system, particularly the amygdala, is involved in processing emotions and forming emotional memories, playing a key role in emotional responses.
  • The prefrontal cortex is associated with higher cognitive functions, such as decision-making, problem-solving, and self-control, and is critical for complex thought processes.
