Study Notes
Brain Function and Structure
- The part of the brain responsible for learning and memory is the hippocampus.
Motor Control
- The frontal lobe is primarily involved in motor control.
Visual Processing
- The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information.
Gustatory Processing
- The insula is involved in gustatory (taste) processing.
Nervous System Divisions
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for conveying information between the brain and the rest of the body.
Brain-Spinal Cord Connection
- The brainstem serves as a conduit of information between the spinal cord and the brain.
Central Nervous System
- The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord.
Auditory Processing
- The temporal lobe is primarily responsible for processing auditory information.
Somatic Sensory and Visual Processing
- The parietal lobe is primarily responsible for processing somatic sensory information and visual processing.
Visual Processing
- The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information.
