otd 515: parts of brain + function

front 1 Cerebrum	back 1 Higher cognitive functions (thinking, memory, emotions, voluntary movement)
front 2 Brainstem	back 2 Basic life functions (breathing, heart rate, sleep cycles)
front 3 Cerebellum	back 3 Balance, coordination, and fine motor control
front 4 Pons	back 4 Relays messages between cerebrum and cerebellum; regulates breathing

front 5 Corpus Callosum	back 5 Connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres for communication
front 6 Diencephalon	back 6 ensory and motor relay, hormone regulation (includes thalamus and hypothalamus)
front 7 Midbrain	back 7 Vision, hearing, motor control, alertness
front 8 Hypothalamus	back 8 Homeostasis (temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep)

front 9 LOBES Frontal Lobe	back 9 Primary functional systems: motor, motor planning, association areas Responsible for: attention, speech, personality, and motor
front 10 LOBES Temporal	back 10 Primary function systems: primary auditory sensory, secondary auditory sensory, association areas Responsible for: special senses (hearing), auditory processing, memory, receptive language Primary auditory cortex // Secondary auditory cortex anterior left temporal lobe (verbal info memory) // anterior right temporal lobe (retrieval of non-verbal memory) Wernicke’s area (retrieving, processing, and comprehension/meaning of words) Inferolateral temporal lobe: object recognition and visual memory fusiform gyrus: facial recognition
front 11 LOBES Occipital	back 11 interpretation of visual information // processing visual information AREAS: Primary visual cortex (perceptions of edges) Ventral cortex (perceptions of shape, color, reading, face recognition, nonverbal pattern recognition) Dorsal cortex (depth and motion perception, visual attention, visually guided reaching)
front 12 LOBES Parietal	back 12 Sensory detection, Perception touch, spatial awareness, sensory integration Key Functional Areas Primary somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus) superior region // inferior region Secondary Sensory

front 13 Insula Closely related to limbic system	back 13 Functions: interoception processing somatic, visceral, and taste sensations // emotional regulation // self-awareness Key Functional Areas Posterior (interpretation of intensity of an experience Mid (association area) Anterior (interception // awareness internal state // visceral comfort and pain)
front 14 Cerebral Hemispheric Differences Right Hemisphere	back 14 Spatial relations Attention and awareness Understanding and remembering things we do and see Integrating information together to make an entire picture\ Contralateral motor planning (precentral gyrus), sensory processing (postcentral gyrus), visual processing Affective part of communications
front 15 Cerebral Hemispheric Differences Left Hemisphere	back 15 Numbers Logical comparisons Fact retrieval Analysis of information Contralateral motor planning (precentral gyrus), sensory processing (postcentral gyrus), visual processing Understanding and use of language (listening, reading, speaking and writing)
