Summary Introduction
To review:
The functions of the pons other than signal conduction and the importance of medulla in the brain.
Introduction:
The brain is divided into three main parts: forebrain, midbrain, and the hindbrain. The hindbrain is located between the rest of the brain and the spinal cord. It has three parts, the pons, medulla, and cerebellum. The pons is the part of the brainstem, the medulla is located between the pons and the spinal cord, and cerebellum is located at the back of brainstem above the brainstem.

- The limbic system is composed of several interconnected structures including the olfactory bulbs, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, subcallosal gyrus, septal nuclei, mammillary bodies, and the thalamus. Pair each of these structures with their function listed below: -This limbic area is active when you are trying to memorize the names of brain areas. It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…arrow_forwardWhat is the overall function of the cerebellum?arrow_forwardPeyton felt strange when she awoke one morning.
