Forebrain

Cerebrum
- Contains the corpus callosum which relays info between the two hemispheres
- Has sulci and fissures
Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobes

Midbrain

Also known as the reflex center for visual, auditory, and tactile responses.
Hippocampus
- Responsible for forming/storing new memories
Basal ganglia
- Made of gray matter
- Responsible for voluntary movement
- Regulates autonomic movement, posture, muscle tone, and controls motor response
- Produces dopamine
Amygdala
- Responsible for emotional and social processing (fear, arousal, and processing of memory)
Thalamus
- Relay station for all sensory info
- Coordinates sensory perception and movement
Hypothalamus
- Receives and processes info from ANS
- Assist with homeostasis
Subthalamus
- Regulates voluntary movement in skeletal muscles
Epithalamus
- Secretes melatonin which helps regulation involuntary movement
- Circadian rhythms (internal clock, hear beats, etc.

Hindbrain

Cerebellum
- Responsible for coordination of movements, maintaining posture, and balance through muscle tone and positioning of extremities
- Damage to this usually indicates issues on the isilateral side

Brainstem

Pons
- Regulates breathing rate, orientation of head in relation the sound and vision
Medulla oblongata
- Made up of white matter
- Influences ANS with respiratory rate and heart rate
- Involves with reflexes of vomiting, sneezing, and coughing
