Frontal Lobes
3 roles of these lobes
Any of "Speech and language production, some motor skills, comparing objects, managing attention, memory formation, empathy, personality forming, reward-seeking behaviour"
Temples or ears
located in the _____, _____ area of the skull
upper back (i will accept synonyms e.g. higher back, ontop of the occipital lobe, etc.)
Where are these lobes located?
Will accept: lower back, under parietal lobe, anything to describe its location correctly
ridges (mountains) formed by folds in the cerebral cortex in order to create more space in the brain are known as __________
Gyri
Frontal lobe structure involved in speech production; This structure is also part of another lobe.
Broca's area
3 roles of these lobes
Any of
Speech production & comprehension
Object recognition
Language recognition
Visual memory formation
Speech memorization
These lobes are considered the primary ____ processing region in the brain
sensory
These lobes are primarily associated with the sense of _____
vision, or seeing
grooves (valleys) formed by folds in the cerebral cortex in order to create more space in the brain are known as _________
sulci
The two frontal lobe cortices (plural for cortex) involved in movement and actions
Premotor cortex, Primary motor cortex
The names of the 3 structures we covered yesterday in this lobe
*hint: 2 of the structures are only partly in this lobe*
Limbic lobe/system, Wernicke's area, Broca's area
3 roles/traits of the parietal lobes
Any of: location, processing touch, processing heat, processing pressure, processing pain, visual perception, audio/hearing perception, memory, spatial orientation, direction
Brodmann Area 17,a structure in the occipital lobes where the brain determines location, spatial information, and color data, is also known as ______
V1 or the primary visual cortex
cerebral hemispheres or hemispheres
This frontal lobe structure is involved in many different complex behaviors, including planning and personality development.
Prefrontal cortex
The Temporal lobe structure associated with unconscious emotions, automatic functions, and more...
Limbic lobe/system
2 structures within the parietal lobes
Any of: angular gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, somatosensory cortex (primary sensory cortex)
With damage to the V2 (the ventral stream), we would still be able to see, but would have no ______ _______ of what we're seeing
conscious awareness (or something synonymous to this concept)
the thick layer of brain tissue that covers the surface of the brain is called the _____ _______ (I will accept the two or one word answer)
cerebral cortex or cortex
Most of the brain’s dopamine-sensitive neurons are in the frontal lobe. These neurons support ____________ behavior.
reward-seeking
Wernicke's are is partially located in the temporal lobe, and partially located in the ____ lobe.
parietal
This parietal lobe structure helps process touch sensations and discriminate between them, ex. determining if what we touch is cold vs. if it's painful, or hot vs. cold
Primary sensory cortex (or somatosensory cortex)
3 roles of the occipital lobes
Any 3 of:
determine color properties, determine depth, determine size, identifying visual stimuli, facial recognition, object recognition, sending visual info to other brain regions, helping us encode/react to the visual world
The names of the 2 sulci we covered.....
one of these separate the temporal lobes from the parietal & frontal lobes
the other of these separate the frontal and parietal lobes from each other
(answer in order please)

lateral sulcus, and central sulcus, respectively
