(sent in by Dr. Linda Walsh, Department of Psychology, University of Northern Iowa) Well there you have - you've toured the CNS
From your spinal cord to your fine cortex
The brain is divided in 2 hemispheres
With 4 lobes in each - to help you move, see and hear
The meninges are the membranes that keep the brain from gettin' hurt
Don't squeeze the ventricles - CSF will start to squirt
The medulla oblongata makes your heart go tippy-tappy
The limbic system makes you mad, sad or happy
The cerebellum lets you walk without stumbling
And Broca's area - talk without fumbling
The reticular formation wakes you up from sleep
The hypothalamus tells you when to eat
The brain is neat!
The brain is cool!
The brain's my favorite thing in school!
But now its time, before my memory lapses
To talk about neurons and synapses.
