Brain Parts I
Brain Parts II
100
Lobe containing ability to plan, concentrate, and organize. 
What is the Frontal Lobe?
100
This cortex is last to develop and contains the ability for higher order thinking and rationale. 
What is the Prefrontal Cortex? 
100
This almond shaped piece is the emotional response center of the brain. 
What is the amygdala?
100
This "mini-brain" coordinates balance and posture. 
What is the Cerebellum? 
200
Located in the rear of the brain, this lobe controls vision. 
What is Occipital Lobe? 
200
Located in the frontal lobe, this cortex controls muscle movements. 
What is the Motor Cortex? 
200
Long term memories are stored here_. 
What is the hippocampus?
200
This area decodes language, both spoken and written. 
What is Wernicke's Area? 
300
This lobe processes sensations of touch, pressure, and pain. 
What is the Parietal Lobe? 
300
Spanning both hemispheres, this cortex contains 6 sections to help process imaging. 
What is the visual cortex?
300
Linking the two hemispheres together, this transmits information across the brain. 
What is the Corpus Callosum? 
300
This area controls language output. 
What is Broca's Area? 
400
Broca's Area is located in this lobe. 
What is the Frontal Lobe? 
400

The Somatic sensory Cortex plays this role_. 

What is collects sensations and/or turns touch into perception? 

400
This collection of nerve cells helps to coordinate voluntary movement. 
What is Basal Ganglia? 
400
This learns and remembers motor skills, relaying information to the motor cortex. 
What is the Pons? 
500
This lobe processes language, smell, and hearing. 
What is the Temporal Lobe? 
500
Activated with intense emotions, this part of the brain monitors behavior. 
What is the Cingulate Cortex?
500
Regulating the endocrine system, this center maintains homeostasis in the body. 
What is the Hypothalamus?
500
This is the processing center of the brain, determining when and where to send information.
