ANATOMY SUMMARY
1. THE BASICS
Cerebrum: High-level thinking, reasoning, and processing.
Cerebellum: Balance, posture, and motor coordination.
Brainstem: Automatic survival (breathing, heart rate).
2. THE 4 LOBES
Frontal: The “Executive.” Decisions, planning, personality. Includes Broca’s
Area (speech).
Parietal: The “Senses.” Touch, pressure, and spatial awareness.
Temporal: The “Hearing.” Auditory processing. Includes Wernicke’s Area
(speech comprehension).
Occipital: The “Visual.” Processing everything you see.
3. THE LIMBIC SYSTEM
Amygdala: Emotion center (fear and aggression).
Hippocampus: Memory factory (learning and long-term memory).
Thalamus: The relay station for all senses except smell.
Hypothalamus: Regulates the “4 Fs” and body temperature.
4. HEMISPHERES
Left: Logic, language, and math.
Right: Creativity, facial recognition, and spatial tasks.
Corpus Callosum:
