(or LGN) A nucleus in the thalamus that is innervated by the optic nerves and sends signals to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Regions of the nervous system that represent the axons of the nerve cells; whitish in color because of myelination of the nerve cells.

It is a bilateral, or two-sided, structure that can be separated into distinct lobes. Each lobe is associated with certain types of functions, but, ultimately, all of the areas of the brain interact with one another to provide the foundation for our thoughts and behaviors. In this section, we discuss the overall organization of the brain and the functions associated with different brain areas.

It is the center of consciousness and also controls all voluntary and involuntary movement and bodily functions. It communicates with each part of the body through the nervous system, a network of channels that carry electrochemical signals.

The occipital lobe processes visual information, while the parietal lobe processes sensory input such as touch, taste, and temperature. The temporal lobe is involved in processing sounds and language, with regions like Wernicke's and Broca's areas responsible for speech comprehension and production.

It delves into the brain regions involved and how they affect adolescents' perception of rewards and risks. The text highlights common risky behaviors seen in adolescents, such as substance use and unsafe driving, and explores social influences and neurological factors contributing to these behaviors.

The original design of this system is preserved across many animals through evolution; thus, adaptive physiological and behavioral functions are similar across many animal species.

The part of the cerebrum in front of (anterior to) the occipital lobe and below the lateral fissure; involved in vision, auditory processing, memory, and integrating vision and audition.
