Study Notes
- The cerebrum is responsible for senses, memory, emotions, intellectual activities, and body movement.
- The cerebral cortex processes information and is divided into two hemispheres.
- The right cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the body.
- The left cerebral hemisphere controls the right side of the body.
- The thalamus organizes information.
- The hypothalamus regulates the digestive process and is responsible for growth and development.
- The limbic system regulates emotions that affect blood temperature and blood pressure.
- The midbrain is responsible for motor movements.
- The hindbrain receives information from the sensory system.
- The brainstem regulates breathing, consciousness, heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, digestion, and the sleep-wake cycle, contributing to safety and survival.
Left Brain vs Right Brain
- The left brain is associated with logical, analytical, linear, verbal, factual, and sequential thinking.
- The right brain is associated with creative, intuitive, artistic, non-verbal, emotional, and imaginative thinking.
Lobes of the Brain
- The frontal lobe controls memory, emotion, stress response, speech, decision-making, and planning.
- The parietal lobe regulates sensory perception.
- The temporal lobe regulates memory, hearing, and comprehension.
- The occipital lobe regulates sight.
Brain Functions Summarized
- The cerebrum and cortex are responsible for the ability to think.
- The limbic system is associated with feelings or emotions.
- The brainstem contributes to behaving safely to survive.
