lies just beneath our forehead and is associated with our brain’s ability to reason, organize, plan, speak, move, make facial expressions, serial task, problem solve, control inhibition, spontaneity, initiate and self-regulate behaviors, pay attention, remember and control emotions

located at the upper rear of our brain, and controls our complex behaviors, including senses such as vision, touch, body awareness and spatial orientation.

located at the back of our brain, and is associated with our visual processing

located near our ears, and is associated with processing our perception and recognition of auditory stimuli

located below the cerebral cortex, and above the hindbrain placing it near the center of the brain the primary role is to act as a sort of relay station for our visual and auditory systems.

our “emotional brain”, or ‘childish brain’. It is found buried within the cerebrum and contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala and hippocampus.

found in limbic system and relays sensory information from other parts of the brain to the cerebral cortex

located in the limbic system, regulates various functions of the pituitary gland and endocrine activity, as well as somatic functions e.g.body temperature, sleep, appetite.

found in limbic system its role is to be a critical processor for the senses. Connected to the hippocampus, it plays a role in emotionally laden memories and contains a huge number of opiate receptor sites that are implicated in rage, fear and sexual feelings.

located in the limbic system, its role is memory forming, organizing and storing information

an important part of the brain located in the limbic system whos primary function is to form the link between the nervous system and the endocrine system

located in the hindbrain this portion is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, balance and cardiac, respiratory and vasomotor centers.

located beneath the limbic system. It is responsible for vital life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure

The primary role of this brain region is to serve as a bridge between various parts of the nervous system, including the cerebellum and cerebrum.

The primary role of this brain region is regulating our involuntary life sustaining functions such as breathing, swallowing and heart rate.
