Neuroanatomy Structures

2. post-central gyrus
3. sulcus separates the frontal and parietal lobes
4. visual processing
5. atlas of the functional areas of the brain
8. composed of the tectum and tegmentum, serves important functions in motor movement
11. made up of the brain and spinal cord
15. cortex deep in the sylvian fissure (on top of the temporal lobe)
16. fissure separates the temporal and parietal lobes
18. auditory, language processing (LH), prosody (RH), recognition of faces, objects, memory
19. egg-shaped structure in the middle of your brain known as a relay station of all incoming motor (movement) and sensory information
21. oblongata part of the brainstem that becomes spinal cord after exiting cranium
22. part of the limbic system that regulates body systems
24. pre-central gyrus
25. part of the brain involved in our behavioral and emotional responses

1. fluid that cushions the brain
6. triple thin layer of tissue surrounding and protecting the brain
7. motor, language processing (LH), higher level recognition
9. Ganglia motor control, as well as other roles such as motor learning, executive functions and behaviors, and emotions
10. responsible for basic life functions, composed of the medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain
12. motor control
13. processing somatosensory information from the body; this includes touch, pain, temperature, and the sense of limb position
14. nerves extending out from the brainstem and spinal cord, includes all cranial nerves
17. part of your brainstem between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata; it handles unconscious processes
20. right and left sides of the brain
23. collosum white matter that connects the right and left hemispheres
