Where is the frontal lobe located?
just behind the forehead
The large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them.
Corpus callosum
What does the Medulla control?
heartbeat and breathing.
What does the Parietal lobe receive?
receives sensory input for touch and body position.
Controls language reception; a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe.
Wernicke's area
What is the Cerebellum referred to as?
the little brain
Where is the Occipital lobe located?
at the back of the head.
An area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movement.
Motor cortex
Where is the Thalamus located?
Located on top of the brainstem.
Where does the temporal lobe receive information from?
auditory information from the opposite ear.
A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion.
Hypothalamus
What does the Amygdala control?
emotions
Where is Broca's area, and what is known about it?
Controls language expression; an area in the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech.
Areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.
