Two lima bean–sized neural clusters in the limbic system; linked to emotion Image - http://brainmadesimple.com/uploads/7/8/8/5/7885523/_4755829.png Neurotransmitters Portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead; involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgement (5:20~5:30) The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex. Spinal Cord Brainstem Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons, When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse Reticular Formation Limbic System Lobe A major endocrine gland, a pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain that is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands. Corpus Callosum Key Cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons Cerebellum Fissure Makes sense out of information gathered by our five senses: vision, audition (sound), olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), and somatosensation (touch).

Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms. The base of the brain stem; controls heartbeat and breathing. Dendrite The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy. The left side of the brain is responsible for controlling the right side of the body. It also performs tasks that have to do with logic, such as in science and mathematics. Each hemisphere in our brain is divided into four lobes, geographic subdivisions separated by prominent fissures, or folds Glutamate A nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system Cerebral Cortex A neural system (including the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus) located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated with emotions and drives. This neural system sits between the brain’s older parts and its cerebral hemispheres. The limbic system’s hypothalamus controls the nearby pituitary gland. http://training.seer.cancer.gov/images/anatomy/nervous/neuron-structure.jpg http://www.memorylossonline.com/glossary/images/neurotransmitter.jpg http://www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chemical-Structures-of-Neurotransmitters-2015.png http://psychiatricdrugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Norepinephrine_struct.gif http://www.memorylossonline.com/glossary/images/occipitallobe.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee405/UP70/ans.gif The brain and spinal cord Thalamus An organic chemical that functions in our brain and body and works as a neurotransmitter Pons A neural structure lying below (hypo) the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward. The extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands. An organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating centre of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity. Right Hemisphere Parietal Lobe Medulla (gamma-aminobutyric acid) Major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Undersupply of GABA is linked seizures, tremors, and insomnia. Broca's Area Hormones Chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands, travel through the bloodstream, and affect other tissues. Right Hemisphere of the brain is responsible for controlling the muscles on the left side of the body The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response. Pituitary Glands Norepinephrine Acetylcholine Plays an important part in integrating personality and in forming complex thoughts Central Nervous System (CNS) Serotonin
