Largest part of the brain, controlling thought, memory, and movement.

Two halves of the cerebrum, connected and controlling opposite body sides.

Planning, decision-making, and voluntary movements.

Processes sensory info like touch, temperature, and space.

Processes visual information.

Transmits electrical signals away from the cell body.

Neurotransmitters to communicate with other cells.

Integrates signals and generates outgoing signals.

Receive signals from other neurons.

Speeds up nerve impulse conduction.

Located in the cerebellum of the brain.

Important for coordinating movement and balance.

Nervous system helper cells, supportive cells.

Helps maintain the blood-brain barrier.

Supplies nutrients to neurons.

A group of brain structures deep within the cerebrum, primarily involved in movement control, habit formation, and reward processing.

A brain region located above the brainstem that serves as a relay station for sensory information and regulates essential bodily functions.

A component of the diencephalon that acts as a relay station for sensory information, filtering and transmitting it to the cerebral cortex.

A small but crucial brain area beneath the thalamus, regulating basic survival functions like hunger, thirst, temperature, and sleep.

The 'base' of the brain connecting it to the spinal cord, controlling essential life functions like breathing, heartbeat, and alertness.

The lowermost part of the brainstem, responsible for vital functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

The medulla oblongata contains the cardiac center, which regulates heartbeat and blood pressure.

The cerebellum coordinates movement, balance, and posture.

The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions like breathing, digestion, and heart rate.

The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that stores memories.
