| 5254682758 | Frontal Lobe | "CEO of the brain" Controls: Personality, critical thinking/judgement, consciousness, and emotions. |  | 0 |
| 5254682759 | Parietal Lobe | Controls: Mathematic Reasoning, Info Processor, Spacial orientation and reasoning |  | 1 |
| 5254682760 | Temporal Lobe | Controls: Hearing, categorization of object, Mystical Experiences 'god' |  | 2 |
| 5254682761 | Occipital Lobe | Controls: Vision! |  | 3 |
| 5254682763 | Motor Cortex | A strip that controls movement of the face and limbs |  | 4 |
| 5254682764 | Sensory Cortex | A strip that registers and processes bodily sensations. Integrates all senses into one perception. |  | 5 |
| 5254682765 | Pons | Coordinates functions like arousal, staying awake, to dreaming, states of consciousness. |  | 6 |
| 5254682766 | Medulla | Underneath the Pons. Deals with automatic functions like: Breathing, heart rate, blinking, salivating, swallowing and vomiting. |  | 7 |
| 5254682768 | Reticular Formation | This region controls: Arousal/sleep (consciousness), filters all incoming sensory information to determine what's important. Either passes info on from the lower centers to the upper brain or blocks it. |  | 8 |
| 5254682769 | Cerebellum | Known as "little brain" due to it's shape. Controls voluntary movements like: Balance, Posture, Coordination, motor movements, Memory of Kinesthetic Skills, muscle memory. |  | 9 |
| 5254682770 | Hippocampus | Emotional Powerhouse. Transfers memories from the short term to long term. Makes/stores maps of the physical spaces. Detects new objects. |  | 10 |
| 5254682771 | Amygdala | Attaches emotional significance to stimuli. Emotions are started here, usually anger/fear, fight or flight. |  | 11 |
| 5254682772 | Thalamus | 'Post office' Directs sensations, except smell, to the appropriate cortex. |  | 12 |
| 5254682773 | Hypothalamus | Directly below the thalamus Regulates mediative behavior, sex, hunger, thirst, aggression, sleep, body temp (homeostasis things). The 4 F's Feeding, Fleeing, Freezing, and F*cking. |  | 13 |
| 5254682774 | Broca's Area | Controls Speech, frontal lobe. Remember Tom Brokaw. If your right handed likely on the left side. | 14 | |
| 5254682775 | Wernicke's Area | Controls language. Without it, you couldn't understand auditory language. Temporal lobe. | 15 | |
| 5254682776 | Pituitary Gland | Master gland of the Endocrine System. Controls the amount of growth hormone and testosterone/ Estrogen. Connected to Hypothalamus. | 16 | |
| 5254682779 | Corpus Callosum | The highway between brain hemispheres. Transfers information across the hemispheres. | 17 | |
| 5254700324 | Dual Processing | The brain's ability to work on 2 different levels simultaneously, conscious level (controlled) and unconscious level (automatic) | 18 |
