Major Anatomical Divisions
I am the largest part of the brain and am responsible for conscious thought, movement and sensation. Who am I?
Cerebrum
I contain the primary motor cortex. Which lobe am I?
Frontal lobe
Which lobe is responsible for:
Frontal lobe
I lie posterior to the brainstem and inferior to the occipital lobes. I coordinate movement but do not initiate it. What am I?
Cerebellum

My pal, Japsal
I relay almost all sensory information before it reaches the cerebral cortex. Who am I?
Thalamus
I contain the primary somatosensory cortex. Which lobe am I?
Parietal lobe
Which lobe is responsible for:
Parietal lobe
I lie inferior to the thalamus, forming the floor of the third ventricle, and regulate homeostasis and endocrine function. What am I?
Hypothalamus
I never leave the library. I wear the same vest everyday actually, because i dont go home to shower. I still don't know if CO2 dilates the bronchi or constricts them.
Mahad
I maintain homeostasis and regulate the autonomic and endocrine systems. Who am I?
Hypothalamus
A patient can hear sounds normally but cannot understand spoken language. Which cerebral lobe is most likely affected?
Temporal lobe - Wernicke's Area!
Which lobe is responsible for:
Temporal lobe
I lie immediately superior to the pons and inferior to the diencephalon. I contain nuclei involved in visual and auditory reflexes and form the upper part of the brainstem. Who am I?
Midbrain
I have blue waffle and the huuuuuuuugest larynx.
Jack (Jake)
I coordinate movement, posture and balance, but I do not initiate movement. Who am I?
Cerebellum
IA patient has normal vision, but cannot recognise familiar objects by sight. Which cerebral lobe is most likely affected?
Occipital lobe (visual association cortex)
Which cerebral lobe is primarily responsible for recognising familiar faces?
Temporal lobe
I lie between the cerebral hemispheres and connect the left and right sides of the brain. What am I?
Corpus callosum
when asked to write their name for the roll, they wrote "the pretty one". super stuck up. Also wayyyy too many facebook posts.

Starting at the cerebrum and moving inferiorly, list all major CNS divisions in order and state one key function of each.
Cerebrum = Conscious thought, perception, voluntary movement and higher cognitive functions.
Diencephalon = Relays sensory information (thalamus) and regulates homeostasis/endocrine function (hypothalamus).
Midbrain (Mesencephalon)= Visual and auditory reflexes; motor pathway relay.
Pons = Relay between cerebrum and cerebellum; helps regulate respiration.
Medulla oblongata = Autonomic control of cardiovascular and respiratory function.
Spinal cord = Conducts ascending sensory and descending motor pathways; mediates spinal reflexes.
A patient presents with all of the following deficits:
Which cerebral lobe is affected, and which three functional cortical areas are likely involved?
Which cerebral lobe is primarily involved in forming new long-term memories?
Temporal lobe
(Hippocampus.)
I lie deep within each cerebral hemisphere. I consist of white matter fibres that carry information between the cerebral cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. Damage to me commonly causes profound motor deficits. Who am I?
Internal capsule
This member of our PBL has the worst posture in the room, spends most sessions slumped over, and has never answered a question.
