The Brain

3. brain activity is displayed when radioactive glucose goes in brain (not extremely clear picture)
6. lobe that receives auditory information
8. base of brainstem- heartbeat and breathing
13. lobe that receives visual information
15. small structure with "arms" that wrap around thalams-helps process information for storage of explicit memories (conscious) of facts and events
17. lobe that receives and processes sensory input
18. 2 lima bean sized neural clusters- linked to emotion, fear, and aggression
19. language center located in left temporal lobe. Involved in receptive language
20. rear of the brainstem- processing sensory input, coordinating movement & balance, nonverbal learning and memory
21. nerve network that travels through brainstem into the thalamus-helps control arousal and filters incoming sensory stimuli

1. lobe involved in speaking, motor movement, judgement, and decision making
2. The brain's processing center is divided into four regions called lobes
4. top of brainstem-relay station for incoming and outgoing sensory information (with exception of smell)
5. language center located in left frontal lobe. Involved in higher level functions
7. brain tissue is destroyed researchers study the impact on functioning
9. uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce brain images (more detailed than CT)
10. below the thalamus- directs eating, drinking, and body temperature. Helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland
11. recording waves of electrical activity across the brain
12. just above medulla- controls sleep and helps coordinate movements
14. X-ray photos from different angles show structural damage (also known as CAT)
16. hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus make up this system
