Lobes of the Brain
This lobe is responsible for higher-level thinking, decision-making, and voluntary movement.
What is the Frontal Lobe?
This part of the brain controls voluntary movements.
What is the Motor Cortex?
This area is responsible for speech production.
What is Broca’s Area?
This structure is crucial for forming new memories.
What is the Hippocampus?
This structure controls balance and coordination.
What is the Cerebellum?
This lobe processes touch, temperature, and spatial awareness.
What is the Parietal Lobe?
This area processes touch and body position.
What is the Sensory Cortex?
This area is crucial for understanding spoken and written language.
What is Wernicke’s Area?
This small, almond-shaped structure processes emotions like fear and aggression.
What is the Amygdala?
This brainstem structure controls heartbeat and breathing.
What is the Medulla?
This lobe primarily processes vision.
What is the Occipital lobe?
This area processes visual information from the eyes.
What is the Visual Cortex?
This bundle of nerve fibers connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
What is the Corpus Callosum?
This brain structure relays sensory information to different areas.
What is the Thalamus?
This network of neurons regulates alertness and wakefulness.
What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS)?
This lobe is responsible for auditory processing and memory.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
Damage to this area in the frontal lobe can lead to poor impulse control and decision-making.
What is the Prefrontal Cortex?
A person with damage to this area may speak fluently but nonsensically.
What is Wernicke’s Area?
This structure regulates hunger, thirst, and body temperature.
What is the Hypothalamus?
What part of the brain helps you stay awake and focused during a long lecture?
What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS)?
What two lobes work together to help interpret written language?
What are the Temporal and Occipital Lobes?
This area helps coordinate the senses and movement with thought.
What is the Prefrontal Cortex?
A stroke in this area results in difficulty forming words but intact comprehension.
What is Broca’s Area?
Which structure helps you remember locations and navigate your surroundings?
What is the Hippocampus?
A boxer takes a hard punch and struggles to keep balance. What part is affected?
What is the Cerebellum?
