Structure & Function of the human nervous system (2)
forebrain
-lobes of the cerebral cortex (cortical lobes)
-frontal lobe: plan, reason
-parietal lobe: language comprehension
-occipital lobe: various aspects of visual info
-temporal lobe: language & processing, object recognition
-central sulcus: where the frontal & parietal lobe is separated
-parieto-occipital sulcus: separates occipital & parietal lobe
-pre-occipital notch: notch in side of cerebral cortex
-left hemisphere: taking info and breaking it down
-right hemisphere: visual attention, spatial awareness, how things are associated
-corpus callosum: large bundle of axons that connects areas of the two cerebral hemispheres
-homotopic fibres: connect corresponding regions from both hemispheres
-heterotopic fibres: connect different regions from both hemispheres
-ipsilateral fibres: connect different regions from same hemispheres
-limbic system
-hippocampus: long term memory saving
-amygdala: for certain forms of emotion; anxiety, depression
-mammillary body: recollective memory

Document Summary
Structure & function of the human nervous system (2) forebrain. Lobes of the cerebral cortex (cortical lobes) Occipital lobe: various aspects of visual info. Temporal lobe: language & processing, object recognition. Central sulcus: where the frontal & parietal lobe is separated. Parieto-occipital sulcus: separates occipital & parietal lobe. Pre-occipital notch: notch in side of cerebral cortex. Left hemisphere: taking info and breaking it down. Right hemisphere: visual attention, spatial awareness, how things are associated. Corpus callosum: large bundle of axons that connects areas of the two cerebral hemispheres. Homotopic bres: connect corresponding regions from both hemispheres. Heterotopic bres: connect different regions from both hemispheres. Ipsilateral bres: connect different regions from same hemispheres. Amygdala: for certain forms of emotion; anxiety, depression. Fornix: bundle of axons which connects hippocampus & amygdala to mammillary body. Cingulate gyrus: processes behaviour & emotion regulation. Basal ganglia: collection of nuclei in hemisphere, play big role in movement. Normal function of basal ganglia is based on dopamine.
