CNS/PNS central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
Diencephalon Division of Forebrain that ultimately becomes the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and
eye

, COGS 17 Cumulative Final Exam - Questions & Verified Answers
Pons Hindbrain structure, acts as bridge between Hindbrain and higher centers
Cerebellum Hindbrain structure, involved primarily with guided, timed movements
Reticular Formation Network of cells moving medially through hind- and mid-brain, involved in arousal
Raphe System Core strip of cells through hind- and mid-brain, involved in sleep
Tegmentum Midbrain structure "floor" involved in motor processes
Tectum Midbrain structor "roof" involved in sensory processes, includes Superior (visual)
and Inferior (auditory) Colliculi
Hypothalamus Forebrain structure, oversees 4F's, temp, clock. communicates with/through
endocrine system

, COGS 17 Cumulative Final Exam - Questions & Verified Answers
Thalamus Forebrain structure , a principal stop along most sensory, motor, and arousal
pathways.
Limbic System A set of forebrain structures involved in motivation and emotional expression
Hippocampus Part of Limbic, involved in formation of new memories
Amygdala Part of Limbic, associated especially with anger and fear, also with recognizing
emotion in others
Cingulate Gyrus Part of limbic, "re-entrant" layer mediating between cortex and lower systems,
especially +/- evaluation
Olfactory Bulb Part of Limbic, receives smell info from olfactory receptors
Basal Ganglia Forebrain structure including Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, Globus Pallidus- involved
in organization of movement sequences.
Basal Forebrain Forebrain structure including Nucleus Accumbens, involved in arousal of cortex,
attention, & reinforcement

Cerebral Cortex Forebrain structure, outer "bark" of brain, 6-layered, highly convoluted
Corpus Callosum Set of axons connecting 2 cerebral hemispheres
Occipital Lobe posterior, primary involved in visual processing, invluding V1 (Striate Cortex)
Temporal Lobe lateral, primarily involved in auditory processing (A1 & Wernickes) and higher visual
(IT)
Parietal Lobe posterior to Central Sulcus, primarily involved in somatosensory and visuo-spatial
mapping
Frontal Lobe anterior to Central Sulcus. including Motor & Premotor Areas, Broca's area and
Mirror Cells, and Prefrontal Cortex
Prefrontal Cortex Most anterior part of above lobe, involved in self control, strategy, cultural rules, etc
Spinal Cord Part of CNS other than brain
