The brain and spinal cord make up the:

• Peripheral Nervous System
• Somatic Nervous System
• Autonomic Nervous System
•  Central Nervous System

This part of the limbic system controls aggression and fear.

• Amygdala

• Amygdala
• Hypothalamus
• Pons
• Medulla

If you somehow lost your vision, hearing, and sense of taste, which part of the brain might have been effected?

• Cerebellum
• Reticular Formation
• Thalamus
• Amygdala

The brain's oldest and innermost region is the

• limbic system
• brainstem
• hypothalamus
• cerebral cortex

Controls behaviors (hunger, thirst, sleep, body temperature) through the release of hormones.

• pineal gland

Controls all endocrine glands and is primary hormone secreting structure in the brain.  Controls the hypothalamus.

• pituitary gland
• pineal gland
• amygdala
• thalamus

The area of the brain most associated with forming memories is the:

• Cerebellum
• Hippocampus
• Amygdala
• Pons
