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.
This quiz covers the limbic system, cortex, and their roles in emotions, behaviors, and higher thought processes.
