Anatomy and Functions of the Forebrain, Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Cerebellum, and Brainstem, Quizzes of Biology

Definitions and functions of various parts of the human brain, including the forebrain (cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system), cerebellum, and brainstem. The forebrain contains the cerebral cortex for perception, reasoning, and memory, and subcortical nuclei for muscle coordination. The thalamus acts as a synaptic relay station for sensory pathways and plays a role in awareness. The hypothalamus regulates various bodily functions, including pituitary gland function, water balance, body temperature, and reproductive system. The cerebellum coordinates movements for posture, balance, and other motor functions. The brainstem contains the reticular formation and its integrating centers for cardiovascular and respiratory activity.
