Document Summary
Reading guide for lesson 20 (pages 1086 1092, 1097 1098) Using the text on pages 1086 to 1090 and figure 49. 11, describe the function of each of the following regions of the human brain: : part for memory, learning, emotions, and other central nervous system functions. Cerebral hemispheres: sections the brain is divided into. It is used for perception, voluntary movement, and learning. Hearing centers are also in this part of the brain. Corpus callosum: a band of axons that allow the right and left cortices (hemispheres) to communicate. Cerebellum: a part of the brainstem, in the hind brain, that is responsible in unconscious coordination of movement and balance. Diencephalon: part of the brain with the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus. Neurons in the thalamus relay neural input to specific areas in the cerebral cortex and regulate what information goes to the cerebral cortex. Hypothalamus: has the body"s thermostat and the central biological clock.
