This controls automatic survival functions: breathing, heartbeat, etc.

• cerebrum

• brain stem

• cerebellum

• occipital lobe

The brain is divided into two...

• hemispheres

• lobes

• glands

• neurons

This controls body temperature and regulates the pituitary gland

• limbic system

• cerebellum

• medulla

• hypothalamus

This controls sleep, breathing, and hearing. It is part of the brain stem

• corpus callosum

• thalamus

• pons

• limbic system

This monitors the body's response to injury and controls life-support functions

• cerebellum

• cerebrum

• hypothalamus

• medulla

This connects the two cerebral hemispheres

• thalamus

• corpus callosum

• medulla

• limbic system

This coordinates emotions, basic drives, and the formation of episodic memories

• limbic system

• spinal cord

• cerebellum

• hypothalamus

The "little brain"; coordinates voluntary movement, enables nonverbal learning, and memory

• cerebellum

• frontal lobe

• medulla

• parietal lobe

This relays information from the body to the cerebral cortex

• hypothalamus

• pons

• thalamus

• medulla

This directs the brain's higher cognitive and emotional functions

• cerebellum

• cerebral cortex

• hypothalamus

• corpus callosum
