auditory information.
Lobotomy inhibits the individual's ability to add perception and meaning to sensory

solving and results in a loss of ambition.
Loss of communication to and from the prefrontal cortex changes, but ultimately
exacerbates, symptoms of mental illness.

The reticular formation, thalamus, and cerebral cortex interact to integrate the sleep-wake
cycle.
Input from the retinas is interpreted by the cerebellum and contributes to maintenance of
the circadian rhythm.
