The Limbic System

Cortex Functions

Lobes

Cerebral Cortex

Corpus Callosum
Medulla- controls heartbeat and
breathing

Pons- regulates walking and

relaxing

Reticular Formation- nerve network

that controls alertness

Thalamus- directs messages to

cortex and replies to cerebellum
and medulla

Cerebellum- coordinates voluntary

movements and balance

Hippocampus- long-term memory

and special navigation
Hypothalamus- releases hormones
and regulates eating, drinking, and
body temperature

Amygdala- regulates fear and anger

Pituitary Gland- secretes hormones

into the blood stream

Sensory- processes signals for touch,

pain, and temperature

Motor- generates neural impulses that

control movement

Frontal Lobe- involved in problem

solving, memory, language, judgement,
impulse control, and social behaviors
Parietal Lobe- involved in sensation,
perception, and cognition

Occipital Lobe- processes visual

information from the retinas

Temporal Lobe- involved in auditory

perception

Cerebral Cortex- involved in information

processing and divides into four lobes

Corpus Callosum- connects the left

and right hemispheres of the brain
