Study Notes
Brain Anatomy and Functions
- Occipital Lobe: Responsible for processing visual information.
- Cerebellum: Manages muscle coordination and balance, affecting fine motor skills.
- Medulla Oblongata: Controls vital functions such as breathing and blood pressure regulation.
- Amygdala: Plays a crucial role in emotional regulation, specifically associated with feelings of happiness.
- Wernicke's Area: Essential for language comprehension, processing spoken and written language.
- Hypothalamus: Regulates basic needs, including hunger, thirst, and the sleep-wake cycle.
- Broca's Area: Critical for the production of speech and language expression.
- Motor Cortex: Controls voluntary movements by sending messages to the muscles.
- Limbic System: Involved in emotion and memory, with the olfactory bulb contributing to the sense of smell.
- Frontal Lobe: Key area for higher-level cognitive functions, such as reasoning and problem-solving.
- Hippocampus: Vital for forming and retrieving long-term memories.
- Temporal Lobe: Primarily responsible for auditory processing and the sense of hearing.
- Sensory Cortex: Processes bodily sensations, allowing perception of touch and pain.
- Parietal Lobe: Associated with the sense of taste and spatial awareness.
- Cerebellum (additional function): Also plays an essential role in maintaining balance and posture.
- Hypothalamus (additional function): Involved in regulating sleep patterns along with hunger and thirst.
- Medulla Oblongata (additional function): A key player in autonomic functions such as heart rate and blood pressure.
- Frontal Lobe (additional function): Involves executive functions which encompass planning, judgment, and decision-making abilities.
