MISC 2
100
This part of the brain is in charge of vision
What is the occipital lobe?
100
You fall down the stairs and suddenly become a lot more calm and happy, then you damaged this part of the brain.
What is the amygdala?
100
The name for part of the brain that is made up of the four lobes.
What is the cerebral cortex
100
This type of brain scan is used to measure activity in neurons, and typically is used to look at anxiety, depression, or sleep.
What is EEG
100
Neurons have to fire in the ____________ hemisphere in your brain to make your left hand pick up a water bottle.
What is the right
200
This lobe is primarily responsible for our decision making and judgement. It's not fully formed until we're 25.
What is the frontal lobe?
200
This part of the limbic system deals with memory, emotions, and the autonomic nervous system.
What is the Hippocampus?
200
The is in the parietal lobe, primarily responsible for registering and processing body touch/movement sensations.
What is the sensory cortex?
200
These two types of brain scans map the brain but do not record activity.
CT and MRI
200
This is the part of the brain that is responsible for basic survival features and balance and includes the pons, medulla, and cerebellum.
What is the hindbrain?
300
This is the part of the brain that processes auditory input.
What are the Temporal Lobes
300
This system of the brain helps control the endocrine system, in addition to maintenance activities like eating, drinking, and body temperature.
What is the hypothalamus?
300
This is in the back of the frontal lobe, and helps us control all our movements.
What is the motor cortex?
300
In a split brain, this is the part of the brain that is cut to sever the two lobes.
What is the corpus collosum
300
This refers to your brain's ability to change by reorganizing after damage or building new pathways built on experience.
What is Neuroplasticity?
400
This lobe is on the top of our head behind the frontal lobe, and plays a key role in sensory information and body position.
What is the parietal lobe?
400
This brain structure acts as a relay station for sensory information.
The Thalamus
400
Wernicke's Aphasia effects language comprehension and is associated with issues in the temporal lobe and this cortex.
What is the auditory cortex.
400
This hemisphere is associated with language and logic.
What is the left hemisphere?
400
This structure in your Hindbrain controls heartbeat and breathing
What is the Medulla?
500
This lobe is also responsible for personality.
What is the frontal lobe.
500
These are all of the parts that make up the limbic system.
What are the amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, thalamus, and pituitary gland.
500
Broca's area is in this part of the brain, which is also associated with voluntary movement.
What is the Motor Cortex.
500
This is the formation of new neurons that is a key part of neurplasticity.
Neurgenisis.
500
These areas are in the cerebral cortex but are not involved in sensory or motor functions, instead are involved in higher level thinking.
What is Association Areas.
