Describe the major functions of each lobe in the brain. Give real life examples of each.
Describe structure and provide a generalized function for each of the following regions of the brain: brain stem, diencephalon, cerebrum, cerebellum.
Trace the major neuronal pathways to and from the brain. Include the name of the Pathway (or Tract), whether the tract is ascending (sensory) or descending (motor), what it basically does (e.g. type of stimulus) , and where it decussates (i.e. crosses the midline, which not all cross).

- The limbic system is composed of several interconnected structures including the olfactory bulbs, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, subcallosal gyrus, septal nuclei, mammillary bodies, and the thalamus. Pair each of these structures with their function listed below: -This limbic area is active when you are trying to memorize the names of brain areas. It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…arrow_forwardMatch the regions of the brain to their general functions:arrow_forwardWhich of the following are the four segments of the brain stem? - right hemisphere, left hemisphere, motor area, and sensory area - cerebrum, cerebellum, midbrain, and cranial nerve - frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal - medulla oblongata, pons, hypothalamus, and thalamusarrow_forward
