Who am I

1
Who am I?

• My components are the midbrain, pons, and medulla
  oblongata
• I am inferior to the diencephalon and the
  cerebrum almost sits on top.
• My white matter tracts are external and gray
  matter is deep.

2
Who am I?

• My location is the inferolateral walls of the 3rd
  ventricle, inferior to the thalamus and superior
  to the pituitary gland.
• My structure is small and fairly triangular.
• My name origin comes from below thalamus.
• I regulate the autonomic N.S., I contains centers
  for emotion, biological rhythms and drives,
  thermoregulation, hunger, satiety, water balance
  and thirst, sleep-wake cycles, and endocrine
  control.

3
Who am I?

• My location is the superolateral walls of the 3rd
  ventricle.
• My structure is that of a bilateral mass of gray
  matter connected by the intermediate mass.
• My name origin is inner room.
• I receive afferent sensory information, I sort,
  edit, and send impulses to the cerebral cortex
  mediate motor activity, and play a role in
  arousal and memory.

4
Who am I?

• My name origin comes from small brain in which
  I look like the cerebrum but much smaller.
• My functions include timing and patterns of
  skeletal muscle contraction for smooth
  coordinated movements. I send messages back to
  the cerebrum to adjust.

5
Who am I?

• My location is the roof of the 3rd venticle.
• My structure is that of a flat roof plus the
  pineal gland.
• My name origin is above the thalamus.
• My functions include
• pineal gland - secretes melatonin-- sleep/wake
  cycle, mood
• choroid plexus - prod. CSF

6
Who am I?

• My components are the thalamus, hypothalamus,
  epithalamus.
• My name origin means interbrain - between the
  telecephalon and the mesenchephalon.

7
Who am I?

• I blend into the spinal cord.
• I am associated with several cranial nerves and I
  am the autonomic reflex center for HOMEOSTASIS
  including CARDIAC FORCE AND RATE, BLOOD PRESSURE,
  RESPIRATION RATE AND DEPTH, coughing, etc.

8
Who am I?

• I am the anterior wall of the 4th ventricle.
• I am a bulging brainstem region between the
  midbrain and medulla oblongata.
• My name origin comes from bridge.
• I help the medulla oblongata in maintaining
  RESPIRATORY RATE. I also have nuclei that play a
  role in sleep, posture, swallowing, bladder
  control.

9
Who am I?

• I transverse the brainstem
• My role is to arouse the cerebrum and to prevent
  sensory overload, as well as play a role in
  autonomic control, and pain modulation.

10
Who am I?

• I am located between the thalamus and the pons.
• I contain nuclei for visual and auditory reflexes
  (superior and inferior colliculi) that allows the
  tracking of moving objects, moving the eyes in
  response to sound, sight, touch and, receive
  afferent signals from the inner ear and relay
  information to the thalamus and other parts of
  the brain.

11
Who am I?

• I am located deep within the medullary region of
  the cerebrum.
• I am responsible for motor control, cognition,
  and planning and the execution of movement.
• I receive input from the entire cerebral cortex
  and send messages out through the thalamus to the
  cerebrum.

12
Who am I?

• I am located in certain portions of the cerebrum
  and diencephalon.
• I border the temporal lobe.
• I am responsible for emotions/feelings and
  personality.

13
Who am I?

• I am responsible for conscious control of
  skeletal muscle movement on the opposite side of
  the body.
• I am located just before the central sulcus.

14
Who am I?

• I am responsible for initiation of voluntary
  motor movement - of learned motor skills of
  repetition or patterned nature.

15
Who am I?

• I am the speech center.

16
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I cannot feel anything on my left hand.

17
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I cannot see.

18
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I cannot hear.

19
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I cannot smell.

20
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I cannot taste.

21
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I am having trouble with complex learning,
  language comprehension, and my personality has
  changed.

22
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I can see things, but I cannot identify them.

23
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I can hear things but I cannot identify who or
  what they are.

24
Where has the stroke occurred?

• I can feel things, but I cannot determine what
  they are.
