start learning
is a region of the cerebrum located in a occipital lobe, and is responsible for interpreting information from the eyes.
FRONTAL LOBE
start learning
is the front part of the cerebrum, and is responsible for high level thinking, such as complex problem solving and planning.
INSULAR LOBE
start learning
is a part of the cerebrum inside of the groove that separates the frontal lobes from the parietal and temporal lobes, and is responsible for consciousness, motor control, and emotion.
PARIETAL LOBE
start learning
is the top middle part of the cerebrum, and is responsible for processing different kinds of sensory information.

start learning
to integrate something is to make it a part of a larger whole.

THALAMUS
start learning
is a part of the brain that is located between the cerebral cortex and midbrain, which helps control consciousness, sleep and alertness.
PONS
start learning
is a part of the brainstem that transmits signals from the cerebrum to the medulla, then from the medulla to the thalamus.
AMYGDALAE
start learning
are two groups of nuclei in the brain’s limbic system, which help control emotions and the sense of smell.
