The Brain Stem is made up of the midbrain and hindbrain. It is responsible for fine motor control, coordination, learning rapid sequences, and automating movement, but works with the forebrain to do this. In textbook, see figure 3.12 2. In textbook, see figure 3.17 3. All sensory information coming into and all motor information leaving the cerebral cortex must past through ones of its nuclei.
Many nuclei also serve as bridges of communication between different parts of the cortex.
Responsible for high level sensory, motor, emotion, reasoning, thinking, and all those things that we study psych for. Lobes include the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The Central Sulcus separates the frontal from the parietal lobe. The Lateral Fissure separates temporal from the frontal lobe. The each hemisphere receive information from and controls the contralateral side of the body and visual space.
