Study Notes

Brain Parts and Functions

Frontal Lobe: Responsible for speech, problem solving, planning, decision making, and emotional control.
Temporal Lobe: Involved in hearing, memory, and speech processing.
Parietal Lobe: Processes taste, touch, and movement sensations.
Occipital Lobe: Primarily responsible for vision perception.

Additional Brain Structures

Cerebellum: Plays a critical role in balance, movement coordination, and posture maintenance.
Motor Cortex: Essential for muscular control and coordination of movements.
Somatosensory Cortex: Key area for processing the sense of touch.

Regulatory and Processing Centers

Hypothalamus: Regulates hunger, thirst, body temperature, and circadian rhythms.
Thalamus: Functions in emotional regulation and information processing.
Basal Ganglia: Involved in controlling internal movement.

Brainstem Components

Pons: Important for the regulation of breathing and sleep.
Medulla Oblongata: Oversees vital functions such as heart rate, involuntary swallowing, digestion, breathing, and sleep.
Midbrain: Coordinates body and eye movements and processes auditory and visual information.

Connectivity and Integration

Pituitary Gland: Secretes growth hormone, impacting growth and metabolism.
Corpus Callosum: Connects the two brain hemispheres, facilitating communication between them.
Spinal Cord: Controls reflex actions and transmits signals between the brain and the body.

Hemispheric Specializations

Right Hemisphere: Associated with vision, sound, and memory functions.
Left Hemisphere: Dominant in logic, language processing, and mathematical abilities.

Cerebral Structures

Cerebral Cortex: Responsible for higher-level cognitive functions and rational decision-making.
Brainstem: Comprises the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, regulating basic life functions.
