| Hindbrain | just above the spinal cord; includes medulla, pons, and cerebellum. |
| Medulla | Hind brain structure that regulates heartrate and respritory functions. |
| Pons | Involved in muscle and sensory functions of the face; regulates attentivness. |
| Cerebellum | 30 billion neurons; maintains balance and performance of skilled movements |
| Midbrain | targets visual and auditory stimuli; recieves info from skin receptors. |
| Forebrain | highest part of the brain; includes thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex. |
| Limbic System | Limbic means border. surrounds thalamus and includes basal ganglia, hippocampus, and amygdola. |
| Thalamus | relays sensory info from spine to appropriate parts of the brain. |
| Hypothalamus | Helps control body tempurature as well as emotion, and threat and sexual response. |
| Basal Ganglia | inhibates muscle neurons to produce smooth movements. |
| Hippocampus | related to the learning of new stuff. |
| Amygdola | relavant to the emotional memory of learned things. |
| Cerebral Cortex | "Brain Bark" 80% of brain's volume and newest part in evolutionary history. |
