Parts of the Brain (copy)

higher-level executive functions such as decision-making, problem-solving, planning, and personality

processes sensory information from the body, including touch, temperature, and pain; also involved in spatial awareness and perception

plays a role in processing auditory information, memory, and language comprehension

responsible for processing visual information from the eyes

coordinates voluntary movements, balance, posture, and motor learning

regulates basic life functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion; serves as a pathway for sensory and motor signals between the brain and body

vital for forming new memories and spatial navigation

involved in processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression

relay station for sensory information; directs it to the appropriate parts of the brain for processing

regulates basic biological needs such as hunger, thirst, body temperature, and sleep (homeostasis)

regulates breathing, sleep, and facial movements

controls vital involuntary functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure

arousal and awareness

smooth movement and posture

reacts in response to sense from the somatosensory cortex and regulates voluntary muscle movements

detects touch, pressure, and pain

more common, analytical, science and math oriented

controls left side hearing and right side movement

less common, creative, intuitive

controls right side hearing and left side movement
