  2. Cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

    Thus the cerebellum has been implicated in the regulation of many differing functional traits such as affection, emotion including emotional body language perception [38] and behavior. [39] [40] The cerebellum, Doya proposes, is best understood as predictive action selection based on "internal models" of the environment or a device for ...

  3. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The cerebrum is a major part of the brain, controlling emotions, hearing, vision, personality and much more. It controls all precision of voluntary actions, and it functions as the center of sensory perception, memory, thoughts and judgement; the cerebrum also functions as the center of voluntary motor activities.

  4. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The blood in the deep part of the brain drains, through a venous plexus into the cavernous sinus at the front, and the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses at the sides, and the inferior sagittal sinus at the back. [61] Blood drains from the outer brain into the large superior sagittal sinus, which rests in

  5. Direct pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_pathway

    This behavior ceases on activation of the direct pathway. The net effect is to allow the activation of the ventral lateral nucleus which, in turn, sends activating signals to the motor cortices. These events amplify motor cortical activity that will eventually drive muscle contractions.

  6. Anatomy of the cerebellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_cerebellum

    The human cerebellum is located at the base of the brain, with the large mass of the cerebrum above it, and the portion of the brainstem called the pons in front of it. It is separated from the overlying cerebrum by a layer of tough dura mater called the cerebellar tentorium; all of its connections with other parts of the brain travel through the pons.

  7. Dentate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentate_nucleus

    The dentate nucleus is responsible for the planning, initiation and control of voluntary movements. The dorsal region of the dentate nucleus contains output channels involved in motor function, which is the movement of skeletal muscle , while the ventral region contains output channels involved in nonmotor function, such as conscious thought ...

  8. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    In addition to identifying the limbic system, he hypothesized a supposedly more primitive brain called the R-complex, related to reptiles, which controls basic functions like muscle movement and breathing. According to him, the third part, the neocortex, controls speech and reasoning and is the most recent evolutionary arrival. [42]

  9. Dopaminergic pathways - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopaminergic_pathways

    Dopaminergic pathways (dopamine pathways, dopaminergic projections) in the human brain are involved in both physiological and behavioral processes including movement, cognition, executive functions, reward, motivation, and neuroendocrine control. [1] Each pathway is a set of projection neurons, consisting of individual dopaminergic neurons.
