The outer layer of the brain responsible for complex functions like consciousness and decision-making.

Brain regions located beneath the cerebral cortex, involved in regulating emotions and motor functions.

The part of the brain connecting to the spinal cord, responsible for vital life functions like breathing and heart rate.

It's involved in processing sensory information and higher-level cognitive functions.

Regulates autonomic functions such as heart rate, breathing, and sleep-wake cycles.

Part of the brain that coordinates movement.

Divisions of the body into sections for study.

Divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.

Divides the body into left and right sections.

Fundamental unit of the nervous system.

Nerve cells that send information to the CNS.

Nerve cells that transmit information from the CNS.

Neurons that connect afferent and efferent neurons.

Non-neuronal cells supporting neurons in the nervous system.

Composed of myelinated axons in the CNS.

Composed primarily of neuron cell bodies.

Central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral nervous system, includes cranial and spinal nerves.

Glial cells that produce myelin in the CNS.

Glial cells that form myelin in the PNS.

System that transmits info from skin and muscles to the brain.

System that carries info from the brain to skeletal muscles.

System that manages involuntary muscle and gland functions.

The front region of the brain; includes cerebral hemispheres and diencephalon.

A part of the diencephalon that relays sensory info to the brain.

Regulates homeostasis and connects to the endocrine system.

Region of the brain responsible for vision and hearing processing.

Region of the brain between the temporal and frontal lobes, involved in taste and pain processing.

Part of the frontal lobe; primary motor cortex involved in voluntary movement control.

Arrangement of neurons in the precentral gyrus that correspond to body parts.

Set of structures involved in emotions, memory, and regulation of hypothalamic functions.

Group of nuclei in the brain linked to motor control and learning routines.

Fiber bundles connecting the cerebellum to the brainstem, involved in communication.

Region at the back of the brain primarily responsible for visual processing.

Twelve pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the brain, serving various sensory and motor functions.

Part of the temporal lobe involved in auditory processing.

C-shaped bundle of fibers in the brain involved in the limbic system's memory processing.

Structure within the temporal lobe crucial for forming and retrieving memories.

Abnormal involuntary movements; often linked to basal ganglia dysfunction.
