Regions
What are two out of the three key structures in the hindbrain?
Pons, Medulla, Cerebellum
What part of the brain controls muscle movements, personality control, and emotions?
Frontal lobe
Which part of the brain that extends from the rear of the brainstem and is responsible for processing sensory input, coordinating movement output and balance, and enabling nonverbal learning and memory.
The Cerebellum
what part of the brain plays a crucial role in various cognitive and motor functions?
Cerebral Cortex
What part of the brain is linked to emotion and reward, and helps govern the endocrine system?
The Hypothalamus
Name two functions of the Hindbrain?
Hormonal regulation, involuntary actions (swallowing, sneezing, digestion, sweating, etc.), vital functions (heart rate, BP, breathing), motor controls (coordination, balance), and sensory processing (5 senses).
Which part of the brain, if injured, could result in blindness and/or color blindness?
Occipital lobe
People who lose this brain part lose their ability to form new memories, due to its function being processing conscious,explicit memories.
What part of the brain controls the essential involuntary functions and coordinates reflexes?
The Medulla
What daily activity does the midbrain control?
What daily activity does the midbrain control?
What lobe is responsible for receiving and interpreting sounds, typically from the opposite ear?
Temporal lobe
Which part, inside the brainstem is a nerve network that filters information and controls arousal?
Reticular activating system
What part of the brain is the center for conscious thoughts,voluntary movement, and sensory perception, responsible for higher functions like learning, memory, language, and reasoning?
The Cerebrum
Besides the Cerebrum, what is the other large part of the forebrain?
The diencephalon which contains the hypothalamus and thalamus.
Which area is found in the frontal lobe and is essential for speech production?
Broca's Area
Which part of the brain is the forebrains “sensory master”, responsible for directing messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmitting replies to the cerebellum and medulla?
The Thalamus
What part of the brain connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain and allows them to communicate and coordinate functions by transmitting sensory, motor, and cognitive information between them?
The Corpus Callosum
Which types of cognitive functions does the forebrain control?
Learning, memory, emotion, language, and decision-making.
Which area of the brain is the posterior part of the temporal lobe, mostly used to process both spoken and written language?
Wernicke's Area
Which brain part, belonging to the limbic system directs activities like eating, drinking, and regulation of body temperature?
Hypothalamus
What part of the brain plays a crucial role in processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression?
The Amygdala
