    Study Notes

    Brain Structure

    • The Medulla controls autonomic functions.
    • The Pons controls sleep stages.

    Filtering and Sensory Input

    • The brain filters sensory input, allowing us to concentrate.
    • Filtering can be affected by higher thoughts.

    Forebrain

    • The Limbic System is a complex network of neurons and brain structures.
    • It is responsible for basic emotions, drives, and behaviors.

    Cortex

    • The Cortex is responsible for higher thought.
    • It is the top layer of the brain and stores experiences and learning.
    • It controls sensory processing.

    Limbic System Components

    Hypothalamus

    • The Hypothalamus is the master controller of the endocrine system.

    Amygdala

    • The Amygdala is responsible for sensations of pleasure or fear, and recognition of fear in others.

    Hippocampus

    • The Hippocampus is involved in the formation of memories.
    • It is also believed to be a center for emotion and the autonomic nervous system.

    Damage to Limbic System

    • Damage to these areas can lead to amnesia or emotional disturbances.
