The hindbrain.
What controls our brain's involvement in emotion and memories?
The amygdala
What is the main function of the occipital lobe, and where is it located in the brain?
In the back of the brain, and to processes visual information
Which lobe processes sensory information
Parietal
What is the term that refers to the outermost portion of the brain?
Cerebral Cortex
Name the three parts of the hindbrain
Medulla, Cerebullum, Pons
What is the hippocampus involved with? (What does is do?)
Where is the occipital lobe located in the Brain?
The back of the brain.
Double Points
Which lobe of the brain is important in language comprehension?
Wenericks Area, Temporal Lobe
How many lobes of the brain are on the right hemisphere of the brain?
Name the lobe or lobes for extra points
4 lobes (Frontal, Parietal,Temporal, Occipital)
What are the three parts of the midbrain?
The Limbic system has three parts, what are they?
Hypothalamus
Hippocampus
Amygdala
How many Thalamus are in our brain?
Two, one in each hemisphere of the brain
Your parietal lobe is a processing center for sensations you can feel with your sense of touch. Name 2 specific sensations.
temperature (hot and cold), pressure, vibration, and pain.
Triple Points
What side of the brain is associated with creativity?
Right
Reticular Formation is important for what cycle?
Sleep/wake cycle
Double Points
What two parts of the Limbic system brain did Henry Molasion have removed in surgery?
Amygdala and Hippocampus
The thalamus is kinda like what in the real world?
Someone directing traffic on a busy road.
You are walking outside and hear loud chirping. In your head, you have identified that this is a bird without actually seeing the animal. What lobe of the brain is used to make this assumption?
A person may have trouble with things like attention, perception, and memory, as well as loss of mobility and control on the left side of the body if they have this disease.
Right hemisphere Brain Damage or Right hemisphere disease. RHD
Double Points
What are the two components of the mid brain that deal with dopamine production? One controls movement, the other is associated with mood, reward, and addiction.
Substantia Nigra + VTA (ventral tegmental area)
What is the amygdala's role in processing emotions, and how does it contribute to responses to fear?
Survival-related emotions. It helps detect threats and triggers the body's "fight or flight" response by activating the sympathetic nervous system.
Name two different functions of the occipital lobe.
Visuospatial processing, distance, and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.
What are the two differences between the Temporal and Parietal Lobes?
You are assessing touch, temperature, position, vibration, pressure, and pain information from your body. These functions are processed by an area of your parietal lobe called the somatosensory cortex. Processing hearing information. This function is processed by an area of your temporal lobe called the auditory cortex.
