Functions: data conduction &
: automatic activities essential for survival
Made up of: the medulla oblongata, pons, & midbrain
Medulla & pons: conduct sensory & motor signals between the spinal cord & upper brain
: control involuntary actions
Midbrain: receives, integrates, & projects sensory information upper brain

Functions: controls coordination of movement & balance
: helps vertebrate learn and memorize motor responses
![Page 23: PowerPoint Presentation · • Largest Brain to body ratio (w/w) • Average weight 1.4 kg • Over 1 billion neurons • Cerebral Spinal Fluid ... white matter: basal nuclei (motor](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042023/5e7ad04eadb7671621498b99/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Function: site of prominent neural processing & integrating centers
Made up of: the epithalamus, hypothalamus, & thalamus
Thalamus: directs neural input from the body to specific areas of the cerebral cortex (the outer, gray area)
Hypothalamus: produces hormones
: regulates - survival mechanisms
- circadian rhythms
- sexual & fight-or-flight responses

Function: has the most complex integrating centers
Divided into the left & right cerebral hemispheres, which consist of
: the cerebral cortex (right & left sides held together by corpus callosum)
: white matter
: basal nuclei (motor coordination centers)
![Page 25: PowerPoint Presentation · • Largest Brain to body ratio (w/w) • Average weight 1.4 kg • Over 1 billion neurons • Cerebral Spinal Fluid ... white matter: basal nuclei (motor](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042023/5e7ad04eadb7671621498b99/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The right & left sides of the cerebral cortex each have four lobes.
Somatosensory and motor areas of different lobes directly process info. and association areas integrate info.
Our sensory perceptions are produced by a complicated interchange of signals among receiving centers and association centers.

Some aspects of brain research that are interesting include: arousal & sleep; lateralization, language, & speech; emotions; memory & learning; and consciousness.
An electroencephalogram records the different patterns in the electrical activity of the brain produced during sleep and arousal.
![Page 27: PowerPoint Presentation · • Largest Brain to body ratio (w/w) • Average weight 1.4 kg • Over 1 billion neurons • Cerebral Spinal Fluid ... white matter: basal nuclei (motor](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042023/5e7ad04eadb7671621498b99/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Several cerebellum and brainstem centers control sleep and arousal, such as the reticular system that filters sensory input sent to the cortex.
The two hemispheres of the brain are specialized for different functions; the left hemisphere contains processes supporting speech, language, & analytical ability, while spatial perception and artistic ability predominate the right.
![Page 28: PowerPoint Presentation · • Largest Brain to body ratio (w/w) • Average weight 1.4 kg • Over 1 billion neurons • Cerebral Spinal Fluid ... white matter: basal nuclei (motor](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042023/5e7ad04eadb7671621498b99/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Parts of the diencephalon and inner portions of the cerebral cortex (amygdala & hippocampus) form the center where human emotions arise and memory is retrieved and processed.
There is long-term & short-term memory.
Consciousness is when you can be aware of your surroundings and make conscious judgments about it.
