The Neo-Cortex

• The cerebrum - the largest part of the human
  brain
• Involved with sensory perception, motor commands,
  reasoning, and language.
• Deals with abstract thought and creativity.

3
Cerebellum

• Regulates and coordinates movement, posture, and
  balance.

4
The 4 Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex

• What do each of these lobes do?
• Frontal Lobe- associated with reasoning,
  planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions,
  and problem solving
• Parietal Lobe- associated with movement,
  orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli
• Occipital Lobe- associated with visual processing
  
• Temporal Lobe- associated with perception and
  recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and
  speech

5
The Limbic System

• Involves emotions and memory.
• Integrates emotions with stored memories

6
Thalamus

• Where sensory and motor information is received

7
Hypothalamus

• Controls
• homeostasis

8
Amygdala

• Involved in memory, emotion, and fear

9
Hippocampus

• This part of the brain is important for learning
  and memory

13
The Brain Stem

• Midbrain - vision, hearing, eye movement, and
  body movement.
• Pons -motor control and sensory analysis
• Medulla Oblongata - controls breathing and heart
  rate

14
Neurons

17
The Peripheral Nervous System

• Sends information to the CNS from internal organs
  or from external stimuli.
• Carries information from the CNS to organs,
  muscles, and glands.

18
PNS

• Divided into the Somatic NS
• controls skeletal muscle as well as external
  sensory organs.
• Automatic NS
