Cerebral cortex


✓ Gray, outer layer
✓ - houses higher mental functions



Hemispheres


✓ - The brain has 2 hemispheres
✓ - they control contralateral (opposite) side of body



What connects the two hemispheres of the brain?


✓ Commissural fibers called the *corpus callosum*



Frontal lobe of the brain


✓ Contains motor cortex
✓ - associted with *voluntary skeletal muscle movement, fine motor movements and
control eye movements*



Parietal lobe of the brain

✓ - Responsible for processing *sensory data*
✓ - Assists with interpretation of tactile sensations
✓ - recognition of body parts and awareness of body position



What is proprioception?


✓ Recognition of body parts and awareness of body position



Which part of the brain is responsible for proprioception?


✓ Parietal lobe



Occiptal lobe


✓ Contains primary vision center



Temporal lobe


✓ Responsible for perception and interpretation of sounds
✓ - reception and interpretation of speech is located in *Wernicke area*



Basal Ganglia

✓ - Aids in motor cortex of cerebrum in integration of voluntary movements
✓ - processes sensory information from the eyes, ears, touch receptors and
musculoskeletal system
✓ - Uses sensory data for reflexive control of muscle tone, balance and posture to
produce steady and precise movements
✓ *Cerebellum hemispheres have ipsilateral control of the body*



What part of the brain has ipsilateral control of the body?


✓ The cerebellum



What part of the brain has contralateral control of the body?


✓ The hemispheres of the cerebrum



The Brain stem


✓ - The pathway between cerebral cortex and spinal cord
✓ - *Structures:* medulla, pons, midbrain, diencephalon
✓ - *thalamus* is responsible for perception of various sensations such as pain and
temperature



Sructures of the Brainstem (4)


✓ 1. Medulla oblongata
✓ 2. Pons
✓ 3. Midbrain
✓ 4. Diencephalon



The spinal cord
