Document Summary
Cerebral cortex high cognitive functions like memory, emotions, making sense of things, process hearing, touch, visual, pain and make sense out of it. Voluntary control like motor activities: part of the cerebrum. We have two cerebrum: right cerebral cortex making sense out of our 3d map. Make sense of and perceive certain emotions: most advanced part of the cns. Thalamus brain region that is deep inside the cerebral cortex. It filters out (cid:862)(cid:374)oise. (cid:863) it se(cid:374)ds i(cid:374)fo to (cid:448)arious parts of the (cid:271)rai(cid:374). Cerebellum important for motor activities (motions, moving body), coordination. Last place of neuronal motor control (cid:862)lo(cid:449)er (cid:373)otor (cid:374)euro(cid:374)(cid:863: 1st receiver of sensory info, controls myotatic reflex, controls pain reflexes/withdrawal reflexes, most primitive and oldest part of the cns. Cerebrospinal fluid: produced by ependymal cells, functions shock absorption; nourish brain tissue and spinal cord; serves to selective move molecules from our blood to the cns.
