Cerebellum: Functions of the cerebellum including emotion regulation, inhibiting impulsive decision making, attention, and working memory.
Motor cortex: The motor cortex generates neutral impulses that control movement.
Medulla: The medulla controls involuntary reflexes such as swallowing, sneezing, and gagging.
Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus regulates emotional responses, hormones, and maintains daily physiological cycles.
Cerebral cortex: If the front part of the cerebral cortex is less active, then people have less control over their social behavior.
Thalamus: The thalamus regulates arousal, the level of awareness, and activity.
Parietal lobe: The parietal lobe is in charge of sensation, perception, and sensory input mostly with the visual system.
Frontal lobe: The frontal lobe is in charge of memory, emotions, etc meaning when it is damaged, it can cause personality changes and impulsivity.
Brain stem: The brain stem affects our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Temporal lobe: The temporal lobe is associated with memory skills such as talking, so when it is damaged, it can have dramatic effects on a person’s personality.
