The document outlines the three layers of the brain: The brain stem contains 7 main parts including the medulla, pons, and cerebellum that regulate basic functions like breathing and movement coordination. The limbic system's hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus are responsible for memory, emotion, and regulating body temperature and fluids. The cerebral cortex's four lobes - frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital - control thinking, touch sensation, auditory processing, and visual information, respectively.

1. The Brain!! Put this through your head!

2. THREE LAYERS! Layer ONE: The Brain Stem

4. Pons

5. Reticular Formation

6. Thalamus

7. Pituitary Gland

8. Midbrain

9. CerebellumCerebellum

10. The Brain Stem Cerebellum The medulla is in charge of regulating basic body functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate.

11. The Brain Stem The pons is in charge of brain activity during sleep, such as dreaming. Cerebellum

12. The Brain Stem The reticular formation is responsible for keeping the mind and body awake and aware. The nerve wires come up from the spinal cord through the reticular formation into the thalamus. Cerebellum

13. The Brain Stem The thalamus is not only in the center of the brain, but it is also the main relay station of the brain. All the senses go through the thalamus, and it helps process everything going on. Cerebellum

14. The Brain Stem Controlled by the hypothalamus. The only endocrine system structure in your body that is in the brain. The pituitary gland sends out hormones. Cerebellum

15. The Brain Stem Cerebellum The cerebellum is in charge of coordinated movements.

16. The Brain Stem The midbrain helps process the auditory and visual information. Cerebellum

17. THREE LAYERS! Layer TWO: The Limbic System

19. Amygdala

21. The Limbic System The amygdala is in charge of emotion. The amygdala may also be associated with memory for when we remember something that is very emotional to us.

22. The Limbic System The hypothalamus is important and in charge of keeping our body temperature and fluid levels balanced. When the hypothalamus detects an imbalance, it orders the body to tell our body what we need.

23. THREE LAYERS! Layer THREE: The Cerebral Cortex

25. Parietal lobe

26. Temporal Lobe

28. The Cerebral Cortex The parietal lobe is in charge of touch sensation. This is what helps us feel things. This lobe also creates a map of your body so your brain knows where the sensation is coming from.

29. The Cerebral Cortex The temporal lobe is in charge of the auditory processes. It also may be connected in storing long term memories that have a auditory connection.

30. The Cerebral Cortex The occipital lobe is used for processing visual information.

31. How does it all work???
