Lobes
Frontal Lobe
What is the largest area that controls cognitive functions, voluntary movement, personality, and language production? Examples include planning, reasoning, decision-making, working memory, attention, controlling voluntary motor skills, regulating emotions, and social behavior.
This region of the frontal lobe contains the primary motor cortex and controls voluntary movements of the body's muscles.
What is the precentral gyrus?
Gray Matter
What is unmyelinated cell bodies of the neurons, and where the processing and regulating of information occurs in the CNS?
This lobe processes sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain, and helps with spatial awareness and body position.
What is the parietal lobe?
Central Sulcus
What is a deep groove in the brain that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe and divides the precentral gyrus from the postcentral gyrus?
White Matter
What are myelinated axons that transmit information over long distances within the body?
Occipital Lobe
What is located at the back of the brain and is responsible for processing visual information, such as color, shape, motion, and spatial perception?
Postcentral Gyrus
What is a region of the parietal lobe that contains the primary somatosensory cortex, that processes sensory information such as touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and body position?
Left Hemisphere
What is linear thinking mode? Writing, language, science, math, logic, and right hand control.
This lobe is primarily responsible for processing auditory information, understanding language, forming memories, and helping regulate emotions.
What is the temporal lobe?
What is a deep groove in the brain that separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes?
What is the lateral sulcus?
Right Hemisphere
What is holistic thinking mode? Emotional expression, emotional awareness, creativity, music, imagination, left hand control.
Cerebellum
What is
part of the brain that coordinates balance, posture, and voluntary muscle movements, helping movements be smooth and precise?
This is a region of the parietal lobe that helps integrate sensory information and is involved in language comprehension, reading, writing, and number processing.
What is the angular gyrus?
Corpus Callosum
