The Brainstem (hind/old brain) 
2.6 What are the different structures of the bottom part of the brain? 
• Brainstem– 
located at the 
base of the 
brain, 
consisting of 
various parts 
functioning to 
sustain bodily 
functions.

The Old Brain (Brainstem) 
Peripheral Autonomic 
Central Structure Action Synapse Reflex 
Peeking Hind Limbic Lobes Motor Split 
Hormones 
• Medulla 
– Heartbeat and Breathing 
• Pons “bridge” 
– Coordinates Movement and Sleep 
• Reticular Formation 
– Net of Nerves Inside the Brainstem 
– Controls Arousal & Alertness 
– Example: When you name is called 
• Locus Coeruleus 
– Center of Reticular Formation 
– Alertness and Panic 
2
The Cerebellum “little brain” 
Peripheral Autonomic 
• MAIN FUNCTION: 
– Coordinates balance & 
movement 
• (ex. Walking, playing guitar hero) 
• OTHER FUNCTIONS: 
– Judges time 
– Stores muscle memory 
– Discriminates sounds 
and texture

2.7 What controls emotion, learning memory and motivation? 
• Limbic system 
– located 
under the 
cortex and 
involved in 
learning, 
emotion, 
memory and 
motivation

Peripheral Autonomic 
Central Structure Action Synapse Reflex 
Peeking Hind Limbic Lobes Motor Split 
Hormones 
• Amygdala 
– Aggression and Fear 
• Thalamus 
– Signal Switchboard 
– Relays information to your pleasure areas 
– Relays senses (not smell) information to cortex areas 
• Ex: Information from eyes to visual cortex 
• Hypothalamus 
– Hunger, Thirst, Sex, & Body Temp. 
– reward center & dopamine pathways 
• Hippocampus 
– Memory

The Cerebral Cortex 
• Frontal Lobes 
– Thoughts & Decision Making 
– Contains Motor Cortex 
– Contains Prefrontal Cortex 
• In charge of logic, step-by-step 
decision making, morals, and 
emotional control 
• Parietal Lobes 
– Sensation/Touch 
– Contains Sensory Cortex 
• Occipital Lobes 
– Vision Processing 
– Contains Visual Cortex
