Document Summary
Prefrontal lobe makes decisions and plan things. Temporal lobe under temple; most of limbic system learning. E/g/ primary (1 degree) visual cortex (v1) Region of cortex involved in control of movement. Large regions that receive sensory information called primary cortex. Sensory association cortex involved in perceiving and store memories Ex: lateral geniculate nucleus (lgn) visual thalamic relay nucleus received sensory info and sends it up to v1. Controls the autonomic and endocrine (hormones) system. System involved in emotion, learning and memory. Amygdala within temporal lobe, learning memory and emotion. Fornix fiber axon tract that connects from hippocampus with the mammillary bodies. Region of the limbic cortex just above corpus callosum. Collection of nuclei involved in the control of movement and decision making. Can tell difference in humans but not rats. Used to think basal ganglia is all motor. A lot more in tegmentum cuz bigger. Pain; controls specific movements specific to your species.
