These are the superior temporal gyrus‚ the inferior temporal cortex‚ and the medial temporal cortex. The superior temporal gyrus I where our hearing and language come in. The inferior temporal cortex helps us identify complex visual patterns. The medial temporal cortex is what we rely on for memory (Pinel‚ 2009). 4. Occipital lobe This is what is used to help us analyze the visual input which guides our

1.An extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body is called the nervous system. 2.The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a neuron. 3.The long tube-like structure that carries the neural message to other cells on the neuron is the axon. 4.On a neuron‚ the branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons are the dendrites. 5. The cell body of the neuron‚ responsible

each of the following functions: 1. Basal ganglia Controls cognition‚ movement coordination‚ voluntary movement. 2. Corpus collosum Thick nerve fibers that connect both brain hemispheres. 3. Temporal lobe Located on the sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Deals with talking and hearing. 4. Occipital lobe Located at the back of each hemisphere of the brain‚ this is where you understand what you see 5. Frontal lobe Involved in organization and planning and inhibition control

Reticular Formation- A nerve network in the brainsteam that plays an important role in controlling arousal. 10. Thalamus- The brain’s sensory switchboard‚ located on top of the brainsteam; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla. 11. Cerebellum- the "little brain" at the rear of the brainsteam; functions include processing sensory input and coordinating movement output and balance. 12. Limbic System- Doughnut-shaped neural

Reticular Activating System The RAS screens incoming information and arouses the cortex when something happens that requires their attention. 4. Cerebellum The cerebellum functions as a "lesser brain" It contributes to our sense of balance and coordinates the muscles so their movements are smooth and precise. The cerebellum is
