on my mind.
Even though i see at the front, my region is found at the back of your brain
The Occipital Lobe
I am said to be the logical side
The Left Hemisphere
there are 3 different types of me but i am considered to be a basic building block of the entire nervous system
A Neuron
I am the cortex located in the Occipital Lobe, i process your vision.
The Primary Visual Cortex
i sound like sarah ballet and i am good at balance and coordination and movement.
The Cerebellum
i have divided myself into multiple areas, theres often an acronym known as FTOP used to describe me- how many lobes are there in my brain
Four.
Extra 100 points for all the lobes listed.
The Brocas and Primary Motor Cotex are found inside my regions.
The frontal Lobe
I am found at the start of a neuron, my role is to protect the the Nucleus. What am i?
The Soma
Before my technique was created people could only rely on observing the brain of those that already died.. What technique am i?
Brain imaging techniques
I Regulate survival functions such as heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing
The Brain Stem
my name is Homunculus, where am i found?
The Partial Lobe (Somatosensory Cortex)
i am said to be the side responsible for day dreaming.
Right Hemisphere
I transmit in the form of an electrical impulse, im also known as:
Action Potential.
Developed in the 1990's i show functional brain activity, unlike my little brother who only shows structural images. I generally use a magnetic to help me- what technique am i?
FMRI
Messages travel along me like a motor highway to get to the master regulator. what am i?
The Central Nervous System (Spinal Cord and Brain)
My name is homunculus, what do i measure?
I measure the 5 Senses, based on how much neural receptors are there.
I help you make decisions on moving. What cortex am i?
The Primary motor Cortex
I am the space between 2 neighbouring neurons
The Synaptic Gap
I am the most common type of scan; you'll all most likely have one of me in your lifetime. I can show you 2d & 3d images of bones, brains and other body types.
People say im usually dramatic, but its only because my roll is to look after Emotions of fear and anger.
I am the Amygdala

Temporal Lobe
I act like a train station, messages usually end with me turning them into a chemical.
I work by measuring the impact of a radioactive liquid. It shows the bodies activity by showing how active tissue is to the sugary injected substance. I cannot be used by those that have diabetes. What technique am i?
PET (positron emission tomography)
Im involved in speech in particular if you hear a word i help you make sense of the word. What am I?
The Wernickes Area
