100
Where is the frontal lobe located?
The most anterior portion of the brain
100
What is the primary function of the frontal lobe?
The primary motor cortex
100
What are some other functions of the frontal lobe?
Language production, planning and attention
100
What lobe of the brain is seen in orange?
Frontal lobe
100
What effects occur if there is damage to the frontal lobe?
The order of a person’s actions and their ability to plan becomes impaired.
200
Where is the parietal lobe located?
Between the occipital lobe and the central sulcus.
200
What is the primary function of the occipital lobe?
Vision
200
What are other functions of the occipital lobe?
Processing simple visual information like orientation, size, color, and spatial frequency.
200
What lobe of the brain is seen in blue?
Parietal lobe
200
What effects would occur if there was damage done to the occipital lobe?
Cortical blindness, no conscious visual perception, no visual imagery, no vision in dreams
300
Where is the occipital lobe located?
Posterior portion of cortex.
300
W is the primary function of the temporal lobe?
Processing auditory information.
300
What is another function of the temporal lobe?
Understanding language.
300
What lobe of the brain is seen in pink?
Temporal lobe
300
If you damage your temporal lobe, what is the name of the associated meaningless language impairment?
Wernicke’s aphasia
400
Where is the temporal lobe locate?
Inferior to the frontal and parietal lobes.
400
What is the primary function of the parietal lobe?
Receives sensation for touch receptor, muscle-stretch receptors, and joint receptors
400
What is another function of the parietal lobe?
Spatial information (where you are in space and where things are in the world).
400
What lobe of the brain is seen in green?
Occipital lobe
400
You are having trouble with numerical information following a head injury, damage to which lobe of the brain could be responsible for this?
Parietal lobe
500
Where is the cerebellum?
At the back of the brain, underneath the occipital lobes and behind the brain stem.
500
What is the primary function of the cerebellum?
Coordinates volunt movement, balanc, and posture.
500
What are some other functions of the cerebellum?
Motor learning, maintaining muscle coordination, and helping with the timing and precision of movements.
500
What region of the brain is shown in red?
Cerebellum
500
What effects can occur if there is damage to the cerebellum?
Poor balance, uncoordinated movements (ataxia), difficulty walking, and problems with fine motor skills.
