The medulla is not typically involved in memory processes. It is primarily responsible for vital autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure regulation. The amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus are closely associated with memory formation and retrieval.
The hypothalamus, specifically the lateral hypothalamus and the arcuate nucleus, play key roles in recognizing hunger signals in the brain. These areas integrate hormonal and neural signals to regulate feeding behavior and energy balance. Additionally, the amygdala and prefrontal cortex also contribute to the processing and regulation of hunger.
The thalamus does not directly control libido. Libido is regulated by a complex interaction of hormones, neurotransmitters, and psychological factors involving brain regions such as the hypothalamus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. The thalamus primarily functions as a relay station for sensory information in the brain.
Addiction can impact multiple areas of the brain, including the reward pathway involving the nucleus accumbens, the prefrontal cortex responsible for decision-making and impulse control, and the amygdala which is involved in processing emotions. Chronic substance use can lead to changes in these areas, affecting an individual's ability to regulate their behavior and make healthy choices.
Sexual desire is influenced by a complex interplay of brain regions and hormones, rather than being controlled by a specific side of the brain. The limbic system, which includes structures like the hypothalamus and amygdala, plays a key role in regulating sexual desire and response. Additionally, the prefrontal cortex is involved in higher-level decision-making and can influence sexual desire through cognitive processes.

The amygdala is a key brain structure closely associated with regulating emotion. It plays a major role in processing fear, pleasure, and emotional memories. Additionally, the prefrontal cortex is also involved in regulating emotions by modulating the amygdala's responses.

No, the hypothalamus controls the body's temperature and things like that. The Amygdala controls feelings.

The thalamus primarily functions as a relay station for sensory information in the brain.
Several structures in the brain are thought to be involved in explicit memory. Most are in the temporal lobe, amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Nuclei in the thalamus also are included.
Emotions are a complex interplay involving various brain regions, including the amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and insular cortex. The amygdala plays a crucial role in processing emotions such as fear and pleasure, while the prefrontal cortex helps regulate and control emotional responses. Different emotions may involve different brain regions and neural pathways.
Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus This is where the involuntary stuff happens, dilation of pupils, mood changes, anxiety and fear (hair on the back of your neck standing up...). This is sort of the caveman in us. Hope this was helpful. hppt://fitzpatrickconsultation.com

Projection fibers are usually considered as those fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to subcortical structures and vice versa. The stria terminalis connects the amygdala to the hypothalamus - i.e., two subcortical structures. So, on this basis they are not projection fibers. But because they connect subcortical structures they are referred to as 'association fibers'.
