Frontal lobe

• This is a picture of the frontal lobe colored in
  light blue. The frontal lobe is the lobe that all
  mammals have. The frontal lobe function is that
  it tells your body if you do this there are these
  future problems/consequences.

The occipital lobe

• The occipital lobe is what helps your sight and
  processes all the colors you see and the things
  you see. The Visual vortex is part of this lobe.
  This lobe is part of the visual cortex which
  helps with the sight.
• All mammals have this lobe yet most are
  colorblind so they cannot process colors with
  their lobe so everything is black and white to
  them.

Parietal lobe

• The parietal lobe is used frequently by all
  mammals because mammals are constantly moving so
  they use this lobe to move. The motor cortex is
  part of this lobe and helps move our body parts
  and specific muscles such as the hands use more
  space on the lobe than the legs or arms.

Temporal lobe

• Temporal lobe is the lobe on the sides that
  controls our speech hearing ,and memory.

Brain Stem

• The brain stem is the stalk of the brain below
  the cerebrum that connects to the spinal cord to
  the brain. This part of the brain controls heart
  rate, breathing, digestion, and sleep

Medulla and cerebrum

y/fullsize/19236.jpg

• The medulla is what controls the breathing of
  your lungs and the beating of your heart
• The cerebrum is in mammals only and is the newest
  and largest part of the brain as a whole.  It is
  here that things like perception, imagination,
  thought, judgment, and decision occur

Cerebellum

• The cerebellum is the second largest part of the
  brain. It controls posture and balance, your next
  movement and the time of that next moment.

Axon

• The axon, a long extension of a nerve cell, takes
  information away from the cell body. Bundles of
  axons are known as nerves or, within the central
  nervous system, as nerve tracts or pathways.

• The dendrite is an extension to a neuron that
  sends and receives messages from other neurons

Cell Body

• The cell body (soma) contains the neuron's
  nucleus (with DNA) Dendrites branch from the cell
  body.

Synapse

• A synapse is the space between the dendrite and
  another dendrite which sends electrical current
  to give the other cell the message.

Limbic system

• Controls Emotions, Emotional Responses, Hormonal
  Secretions, Mood, Motivation, Pain, and Pleasure
  Sensations. Has the parts pituitary gland,
  thalamus hypothalamus and the Amydala

Amygdala

• The amygdala controls
• Arousal
• Controls Autonomic Responses Associated with
  Fear
• Emotional Response
• Hormonal Secretions

16
Thalamus

• A large mass of gray matter deeply situated in
  the forebrain. There is one on either side of the
  brain. Receives Auditory and Visual Sensory
  Signals.

Hypothalamus

• It supplies input to areas in the medulla and
  spinal cord that control activities such as heart
  rate, respiration, and fat metabolism. In
  reptiles, birds, and mammals, the hypothalamus
  regulates body temperature of the animal

Pituitary Gland

• The pea-sized pituitary gland is one of the key
  structures in the endocrine system. It releases
  the hormones that regulate growth and the
  activity of other endocrine organs in the body
