Do I need to learn all the different parts of the brain?

i/e the lobes and their functions? the corpus callosum?

just wondering how detailed I need to get with it.

Thanks,

Know lobes and general function (ie occipital --> vision). Know the terms white and grey matter. Be familiar with terms such as telencephalon, diencephalon, cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, and hypothalamus. Obviously understand the role of the hypothalamus as it relates to the pituitary.
