Medulla
Pons Cerebellum |
|
Medulla
|
Medulla - Coordinates basic life function, mediates respiratory and cardiac effects of some drugs
|
|
Pons
|
Pons - Together with Medulla, contains the reticular formation. Relay station between cortex and cerebellum
|
|
Cerebellum
|
Cerebellum - Maintenance of balance, coordination of skeletal motor activities and learned motor skills
|
|
Midbrain*
*may not be important for the exam |
Controls important sensory and motor reflexes
Pain information Non-spinal reflexes |
|
Forebrain
|
Cerebral Cortex
Limbic System Basal Ganglia |
|
Cerebral Cortex
|
1.) Frontal Lobe - what makes us human, anything that involves complicated planning, sophisticated reasoning, inhibition of inappropriate behavior, motor controls
2.)Parietal Lobe - somatosensory, processing of touch,pain, etc. 3.) Occipital Lobe - visual processing 4.) Temporal Lobe - auditory *association cortex - ~80% of the cortex that integrates different information |
|
Limbic System
|
think of controlling emotional behavior, how we interpret the world through emotions
Contains primary reward center Sexual Behavior Site of actions of drugs that create euphoria |
|
Limbic System (structures)
|
1. Hypothalamus -regulates many motivated functions (eating, drinking)
2. Hippocampus - involved in memory formation and storage 3. Amgydala - response in with emotional states 4. Parts of cerebral cortex - interracts with Limbic system to guide behavior |
|
Basal Ganglia
|
Group of interconnected structures that control voluntary, smooth movement
Actions of stimulants in the basal ganglia increases motor activity |
