Anatomy of Behavior

1. Ascending reticular systems (brain stem)
   • arousal/(editing)
2. Limbic systems (subcortical)
   • arousal/attention/(editing)
   • biological drives (basic instincts)
   • emotional behavior/reinforcement
   • temperament (?)
   • consolidation of verbal learning/memory
3. Cortex
   • sensory unit: processing input
     • posterior: temporal, parietal, & occipital lobes
   • motor unit: executive functions, “pause and plan”
     • frontal: frontal lobe
       • arousal/attention/(editing)
       • forming plans
       • executing plans
       • verifying results
