Describe the locations and functions of the four lobes of the brain and the organization of the motor, sensory, and association cortex.

Trace the major neuronal pathways to and from the brain. Include the name of the Pathway (or Tract), whether the tract is ascending (sensory) or descending (motor), what it basically does (e.g. type of stimulus) , and where it decussates (i.e. crosses the midline, which not all cross).

Name the major regions of the adult brain.

Name the three regions of the brain stem and describe their functions.

Which general anatomic feature of the brain is illustrated in the image below?

Which three primary areas in the CNS receive input from the vestibular nuclei? Explain the pathways in detail. What information does the vestibular nuclei provide?

List the five lobes of the cerebrum and the primary function(s) of each lobe.

Name three association areas of the cerebral cortex and describe their functions.

What are the functions of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex?

Explain how the cerebrumof the brain is connected both functionally and structurally to other parts of the brain. Give a thorough explanation of the function of this structure of the brain.  There is a story about a man that had a metal rod go through his face (and brain) and yet survived. Explain how someone could have such a traumatic brain injury, but still survive. In addition, explain what would happen if a similar accident (trauma) were to happen to the cerebrum. This not a part of a homework assignment
