Lobes
Timmy has his first day of Kindergarten, but he struggles to talk with other students and his teachers. Even though Timmy’s an extroverted kid, it seems like language is the issue (despite him knowing English). This part of the lobes is responsible for it.
Brocas area
Timmy’s morning routine involves getting up at 4am, reading the bible, and going on a sprint. This is because of his regulated sleep-wake cycle and arousal.
Reticular Formation
Timmy’s breathing and heart rate are extremely stable thanks to this part.
Medulla
Timmy is playing in his varsity soccer match. Suddenly, he gets tripped, and there is no foul called. Timmy is outraged, his spidey senses are tingling (in a bad way), and he starts to remember violent memories. This system is responsible for Timmy’s current nature.
Limbic System
When Timmy’s coach shouts instructions at him, his temporal lobe processes the information here
Wernicke's area
When Timmy goes to school an hour early every day to practice his 3 point shot, the part of the brain that controls his coordination, movement, and shot form
What is the Cerebellum?
Located in the Basal Ganglia Adolescents like Timmy have hyperactive reward systems, leading this region to be especially active when he makes a game winning play on the court
Nucleus Accumbens
Timmy struggles with remembering information, has difficulty with understanding language, and can’t seem to make quality judgments. It seems like this section in the lobes are the reason for his struggles.
Association Areas
Timmy has trouble breathing and has a messed up sleep schedule. It is highly likely that this place in the brainstem is damaged.
Pons
Timmy was with his friends, trying to show off their parkour skills. Suddenly, Timmy fell off a 2-story ledge and landed on his back. Timmy was rushed to the ER and later was found paralyzed because of damage to this section.
Spinal Cord
located at the base of the forebrain, the main area affected by Parkinsons, a lack of function in this area can cause muscle paralysis
Basal Ganglia
Timmy is playing in a basketball game. The ball is passed to him, but it bounces off his head, and he cannot catch the ball. When Timmy dribbles the ball, he always loses it off his foot. It seems like his hand-eye coordination is off. This section of the brain seems to be throwing off Timmy’s game.
Parietal Lobes
Thanks to this, Timmy’s everyday movements are communicated, controlled, and regulated without him even thinking about it
Brainstem
Nestled within another brain part, Timmy has this to thank when he starts to feel tired and hungry at regular intervals.
Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
Timmy’s thalamus is working well and because of this, Timmy can easily recognize objects and textures. Located in the parietal lobe, Timmy’s _________ is on point!
Somatosensory cortex
