Neurotransmitters
This neurotransmitter is released in anticipation of a reward. It also influences movement, learning, attention, and emotion.
What is dopamine?
This lobe regulates our emotions, motor functions, planning, and higher reasoning skills.
What is the frontal lobe?
This brain structure literally translates as "little brain." It is responsible for fine motor control, and your balance and coordination skills.
What is the cerebellum?
This brain structure is known as the quarterback of all information received from your senses.
What is the thalamus?
This nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for gathering information and sending transmissions to other body parts and nervous systems.
What is the central nervous system?
This neurotransmitter affects our mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal. It is largely linked to our self-esteem.
What is serotonin?
This lobe is responsible for our hearing capabilities.
What is the temporal lobe?
This long bundle of neurons, which is a part of the central nervous system, carries messages between the body and the brain. It is also responsible for very fast, lifesaving reflexes.
What is the spinal cord?
This brain structure is responsible for converting short-term memories into long-term memories.
What is the hippocampus?
This nervous system is made up of all the nerves that branch from the spinal cord to other parts of the body. It is responsible for receiving transmissions from the central nervous system, and putting said transmissions into effect.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
This neurotransmitter is related to muscle action, learning, and memory.
What is acetylcholine?
This lobe is located towards the back of your head, and is responsbile for your visual senses.
What is the occipital lobe?
This structure connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It is known as the Great Mediator.
What is the corpus Callosum?
This brain structure is known as the one who controls and regulates all hormones released throughout your body.
What is the hypothalamus?
This nervous system consists of the nerves of the peripheral nervous system that control the body's skeletal muscles.
What is the somatic nervous system?
This lobe, also known as the somatosensorial cortex, is located towards the top of the brain, and is responsible for our sense of temperature, touch, and body position.
What is the parietal lobe?
This hemisphere of the brain is associated with creativity and imagination.
What is the right hemisphere?
This brain structure is associated with your fear response, and is related to your "fight or flight" mindset.
What is the amygdala?
This nervous system is the part of the two main nervous systems that control the glands and the muscles of internal organs.
What is the automatic nervous system?
This hemisphere of the brain is associated with logic, language, and systmatic thinking.
What is the left hemisphere?
This brain structure is known for regulating your heartbeat, breathing, and swallowing.
What is the medulla?
