Voluntary Movement
o Cerebellum- coordination of movement and balance
o Frontal Lobe- motor cortex
o Basal Ganlia- initiation of movement
o Nervous sytem
 Peripheral somatic nervous system
 Dopamine
 (**TRACE THE STEPS IN MOVEMENT IN THE
BODY)(Comprehend and use the information-test)
Cognitive Processing(Language)
o L. frontal- broca’s – recognition of speech
o Left temporal lobe- wernicke
o Glutamate-excitatory
o Hippocampus
 Ach
o Cerebral Cortex – particularly frontal lobes or prefrontal cortex
Sense and Perception
o Cerebral Cortex
 Thalamus
o Occipital lobe- visual c.
o Temporal lobe- auditory c.
o Parietal lobe- sensory cortex
o Nervous system:
 PNS- sensory neurons
 ANS- messaging going up into your brain
Regulation/Arousal
o Brain stem
o Medulla
o Hypothalamus- helps regulate some of the other drives you have to keep
you functional
o Sympathetic/ parasympathetic
o ANS
o Gaba
o Serotonin and Norepinephrine
o Epinephrine
o Reticular formation
o Hypothalmus
o Glutamate
o Estrogen/ testosterone
Emotion/Mood
o Forebrain- cerebral cortex
o Amygdala
