The brain's "sensory switchboard":  directs sensory messages to proper area of the brain

• thalamus
• hypothalamus
• hippocampus
• reticular formation

Thinking, problem solving, "executive functioning," happen here. 

• cerebellum
• cerebrum
• amygdala
• hypothalamus

Carries messages between the body and the brain:

• cerebellum
• corpus callosum
• spinal cord
• special thalamus

Known as the "Little brain" and is in charge of balance and coordinating movements:

• Thalamus
• Reticular Formation
• Hypothalamus
• Cerebellum
