Neuroanatomy and Nervous System Development
- The brainstem consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla and is responsible for conveying and processing signals between the body and cerebrum, regulating subconscious functions such as heart rate and breathing.
- The gray matter of the brain includes structures like the basal ganglia, amygdala, and hippocampus, which are involved in neural integration and processing, and are deep to the cerebral cortex.
- The temporal lobe is responsible for auditory processing, language, and memories, while the frontal lobe houses the primary motor cortex.
- The parietal lobe contains the primary sensory cortex, and the occipital lobe houses the primary visual cortex.
- The cerebellum coordinates movement and integrates sensory information to guide body responses.
