BRAIN ANATOMY

The brain stem is located in the hind brain and includes the Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata and the spinal cord. MID BRAIN - Concerned with certain sensory processes such as locating where things are. Midbrain is the important system of dopamine-releasing axons. Among other things, this dopamine system is involved in the performance of voluntary movements. PONS- Contains several clusters of cell bodies that contribute to the regulation of sleep and arousal. MEDULLA - Attaches to the spinal cord and has charge of largely unconscious but essential functions, such as regulating breathing, maintaining muscle tone and regulating circulation.

Cerebrum - goey slug like sheep brain

Brain's Three Parts[4] (binary/octet-stream)

CEREBRUMMM - Includes the brain areas that are responsible for our most complex mental activities, including learning, remembering, thinking, voluntary movement and consciousness itself The cerebrum contains Four lobes. Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Temporal Lobe Occipital Lobe

Frontal Lobe

Frontal Lobes145753472 (binary/octet-stream)

INCLUDES THE PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX, - THE AREA DEVOTED TO THE CONTROL OF VARIOUS MUSCLES AND LIMBS. PRE- FRONTAL CORTEX - AREA RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHER ORDER CONDITIONS SUCH AS WORKING MEMORY, REASONING AND DECISION MAKING.

THE CEREBELLUM - HINDBRAIN

CRITICAL TO THE COORDINATION OF MOVEMENT AND TO THE SENSE OF EQUILIBRIUM, OR PHYSICAL BALANCE. DAMAGE TO THE CEREBELLUM DISRUPTS THE FINE MOTOR SKILLS, SUCH AS THOSE INVOLVED IN WRITING OR TYPING.
