1. Brainstem- It begins where the spinal cord swells after entering the skull. It regulates all automatic survival roles‚ such as breathing and heartbeats. 2. Thalamus- The thalamus is the uppermost part of the brainstem. It directs information to the sensory cortex and provides feedback to the cerebellum and medulla. 3. Medulla- The foundation of the brainstem. It manages heartbeat and breathing. 4. Reticular formation- The nerve region travelling through the brainstem and thalamus. The network

"car" or "engine"‚ nor would they say that it was a lion creating the noise. Auditory agnosia is caused by damage to the secondary and tertiary auditory cortex of the temporal lobe of the brain. Semantic-associative This type of auditory agnosia is caused by lesions to the left hemisphere of the brain‚ specifically the temporal lobes and Wernicke’s area. Linguistic (or verbal information or Wernicke’s) agnosia indicates that the subject can’t comprehend words‚ although they can understand words

Opening Notes: * Interest and research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate

The Center for Neuro Skills states that‚ "One of the most universal consequences of frontal damage can be a vivid change in social manners. An individual ’s character can undergo momentous changes subsequent to an injury to the frontal lobes‚ particularly when both lobes are concerned" (Engelfried‚
