This looks like a smaller version of the brain stuck to the underside of the brain.
reticular activating system
cerebellum
thalamus
amygdala
Area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements.

Process auditory information, memory, language, and emotion.
Which part of the brain is involved in emotions and memory?
cerebellum
limbic system
frontal cortex
occipital lobe
