Forebrain: cerebral cortex (cerebrum): occipital lobe (vision), temporal lobe (hearing), parietal lobe (sensory perception), frontal lobe (higher level cognitive functions), Thalamus (relay centre), hypothalamus (involuntary), limbic system, pituitary. Midbrain: links the forebrain with hindbrain visual and auditory stimuli. Hindbrain: pons, medulla, cerebellum: peripheral nervous system. 1. describe the function of the somatic nervous system. Nervous system (involuntary movement: list neurotransmitters involved with the parasympathetic and sympathetic ns.
