Controls the pituitary gland, which is the master gland
Vital to emotion and memory
Receives senses coming from body and sends them to rest of forebrain
Brings info into the cell

12
What is the function of association areas?
Higher mental functions like learning, remembering, and thinking
Coordinates our bodies movements
Lower level functioning
Deals with detecting and interpreting info from our senses
