Right/Left Side
This side is based on how creative a person is
Right side
This lobe of the brain receives information from the visual fields.
Occipital Lobe
This part of the brain lies below the thalamus, and directs several maintenance activities via the pituitary gland.
Hypothalamus
How long is the average persons brain functions? (Attention Span)
10 minutes
This cortex at the rear of the frontal lobe controls voluntary movements.
Motor Cortex
This side of the brain focuses more on logical thinkers, and math skills
Left side
This lobe of the brain is involved in emotion, intelligence, and personality
Frontal Lobe
This part of the brain recieves information from all senses except smell, and routes that information to higher brain regions that deal with seeing, hearing, tasting, and touching.
Thalamus
The brain has enough electricity to power what?
The most influencial endocrine gland, is influnced by the hypothalamus to regulate growth and control other endocrine glands.
Pituitary Gland
Control of Speech is predominantly focused on this side
Left side
This part of the brain is the balance & coordination
Cerebellum
(DOUBLE POINTS!!!)This nerve network travels through the brainstem into the thalamus and plays an important role in controlling arousal.
Reticular Formation
At what age is the frontal lobe fully developed?
25
This center of language in the brain controls the expression of speech.
Broca's Area
Sometimes one hemisphere processes things differently than the other. This specialization of certain parts of the brain is called
Lateralization
These lobes is in charge of holding your memories.
Temporal Lobes
This part of the brainstem coordinates movements and controls sleep.
Pons
At age 30, the brain shrinks how much in mass every year?
a quarter percent of its mass
This cortex is in control of how you respond to touch.
Sensory Cortex
When it comes to interpreting tones and intonation, which side plays a crucial part of this.
Right
These lobes are in charge of language, reading, and sensation.
Parietal Lobes
This part of the brain found in the limbic system consists of two lima-bean sized neural clusters, and is linked to emotions like aggression and fear.
Approximately what percent of the oxygenated blood flowing from the heart is pumped to the brain.
20 percent
(DOUBLE POINTS!!!)This method of studying the brain tracks temporarily radioactive glucose consumed by brain to show "hot spots".
