COMPONENTS OF THE BRAIN

Cerebral cortex

    Neocortex- Six layer, (newest part of cortex)

        Cingulate cortex- emotions

        Somatic Sensory cortex

        Visual cortex

        Auditory Cortex

        Motor cortex

        Premotor cortex

    Olfactory Cortex- Olfaction

    Hippocampal Cortex- Emotion, Recognition, short-term memory

Basal ganglia

    Striatum

        Caudate and Putmen

    Globus Pallidus external part

    Subthalamic Nucleus

    Globus Pallidus internal part

Dorsal Thalamus

    Ventral lateral (VL) – motor

    Ventral anterior (VA) - motor

    Ventral posterior lateral (VPL) – Sensory body

    Ventral posterior medial (VPM) – sensory head

    Anterior group (AG) - Emotion

    Medial dorsal (MD) - Cognition

    Decision-making

    Intralaminar nuclei - Syncing the pyramidal cells

    Reticular thalamic nuclei - Syncing of dorsal thalamic relay nuclei

    Medial geniculate - Auditory relay to auditory cerebral cortex

    Lateral geniculate - Visual relay to vision cortex

Hypothalamus

    Sympathetic

    Parasympathetic

Neurohypophesis

Midbrain

    Tectum

        Superior colliculus- Visual reflexes

        Inferior colliculus- Auditory neck reflex

    Tegmentum Midbrain

    Cerebral peduncles

Pons

    Pons Proper

    Tegmentum Pons

Cerebellum

Medulla

Spinal cord

Peripheral Nervous System

    Somatic

        Sensory and motor

    Autonomic

        Sympathetic

        Parasympathetic
