idk im dutch
I"ll try to translate what my book says to me, don't laugh if something sounds ridiculous, it's not as easy as one thinks.
Cerebrum ("big" brains)
-consists of 2 parts (hemispheres) -at the outside, there's the cortex (grey matter). And it's "wrinkled" (The explanation was too hard to translate) -in the cortex, you can distinguish certain zones with a different function.
*the motor cortex: controls skeletal muscle movements *the sensory cortex: interprets sensory inputs ¨the association cortex= the zone where emotional and intellectual processes happen
-The hemispheres are connected to each other with the corpus callosum
Diëncephalon
-Thalamus: centre in which sensory impulses, who come from the peripheral nervous system, are interpreted (being aware of pain, pressure, temperature) and from which impulses and transmitted to the central nervous system. -Hypothalamus: controls diverse important body functions.
*anger, aggression, thirst centre, hunger centre, controlling of body temperature, sleep and conscience centre *controlling and integration of the autonomic nervous system en thus the regulation in diverse organs: heart rhythm, blather contraction, movement off food through the gastric-intestinal system,... *Central knot for the regulation of many homeostatic mechanisms. Here connect the 2most important regulation mechanisms of the organism: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The hypothalamus regulate the release of a big number of hormones from the pituitary gland (hypophysis.
-A section about the limbic system (has to do something with instincts and emotions) -Something about the pineal gland and melatonin (has to do something with sleep
Brain stem Connects the brain with the spinal cord and consists of 3 parts
- mesencephalon: contains some cores who control visual reflexes and sub-conscience muscle activity -pons: contains cell bodies of 4pair cranial nerves en zones who help controlling breathing (together with the medulla oblongata) -medulla oblongata
*contain reflex centres for the regulation of 3 vital functions
+hart centre (Rhythm and contractionstrenght of the hearth) +breathing centre (breathing rhythm and volume) +diameter of the blood vessels
* role at the regulation of consciousness and alertness *contains centres for the regulation of mechanisms who require much coordination like swallowing, vomiting, coughing, sneezing
Cerebellum (small brains)
They coordinate skeletal muscle activity.

that means that dinosaurs only had skeletal muscle activity! [/quote
I'm not familiar with brains of dinosaurs.
The small brains was a straight translation from my books. In Dutch we speak of "the grote en de kleine hersenen". Sticking to the official Latin name would divert confusion.
I presume dinosaurs had a less developed cerebellum as we. But that doesn't necessarily mean they wear stupid. The certain carnivores worked together, like lions, in order to catch their prey. It needs a minimum of cooperation and you can't cooperate if you're completely stupid like a chicken.
you know what's funy? i meant to lock this back when i posted my original reply a few days ago because i didn't think satman should be allowed to continue thinking he's superior to others, but you guys ended up proving that point for me anyway. thanks, guys :) locked.
