• temporal lobe - site of hearing, speech, memory, and emotion
• occipital lobe - site of vision and involuntary eye movements

Thalamus - receives inputs from all the sense except the olfaction ( sense of smell)

Hypothalamus - controls sleep and wakefulness, temperature, respiration, blood pressure, sexual arousal, fluid balance and emotional response.

Cerebellum - controls muscle movement regulates muscle tone, maintains balance and controls posture. 

Midbrain - mediates pupillary reflexes and eye movement

Pons - regulates perspiration
