what lobe controls speaking, thinking, judgment, emotions and is connected to the limbic system?
frontal lobe
what lobe controls voluntary body movements?
frontal lobe
what lobe controls perception of touch, pain, taste, body position?
parietal lobes
what lobe is concerned with auditory function, short term memory, smell, and expression of emotion AND is connected to the limbic system?
temporal lobes
which lobe is responsible for visual perception?
occipital lobe
what is the limbic system also known as?
the emotional brain
3 major structures of the diencephalon
thalamus, hypothalamus, and limbic system
which part of the diencephalon integrates sensory input on the way to the cortex and has some involvement in emotions and mood?
the thalamus
which part of the diencephalon regulates the pituitary gland and exerts control over the autonomic nervous system?
the hypothalamus
function of acetylcholine
sleep, arousal, pain, perception, movement, and memory
possible implications of acetylcholine
Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Depression
function of monoamaines
fight or flight response to stress
norepinephrine function
regulation of mood, cognition, perception, cardiac function, sleep, and arousal (very similar to acetylcholine)
norepinephrine implications
mood disorders, anxiety, schizophrenia
dopamine function
physical activation of the body
dopamine implications
Parkinson's, schizophrenia, anxiety
serotonin function
sleep, arousal, libido, appetite, mood, aggression, and pain perception
serotonin implications
depression, schizophrenia, anxiety
GABA function
interrupts the progression of the electrical impulse at the synaptic junction which slows down body activity
major function of amino acids
body activity, movement disorders, reflexes
glycine function
inhibitor amino acid involved in spinal and brainstem reflexes
glutamate function
excitatory amino acid regulates motor and spinal reflexes
