What does the frontal lobe control?
speech formation, movement, and reasoning/logic

A person is having difficulty moving their arms. If the problem is in the brain, it might be located in their
Cerebellum

What does the brain stem do?
The brain stem is what keeps us breathing and our heart beating. Without the stem, we wouldn't be alive.
100
What are whole brainers?
Whole brainers believe that the brain works all together as a whole intelligence and the whole brain is responsible for all function.
100
What happens in the motor cortex?
Planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements.
200
What is the parietal lobe?
This part of the brain is where you react to sensory (physical touch), and channels a reaction to pain.

A woman is having difficulty walking. If the problem is in her brain, it could be damage to her
Cerebellum

What role does the cerebellum play in our lives?
The cerebellum coordinates movement. Without your cerebellum, you couldn’t walk upright, or do simple things like touching your finger to your nose.
200
What are neurons?
Nerve cells that send messages all over your body to allow you to do everything from breathing to talking, eating, walking, and thinking.
200
What is the spinal cord responsible for?
It sends motor commands from the brain to the body, sends sensory information from the body to the brain, and coordinates reflexes.
300
What is the occipital lobe responsible for?
Your occipital lobe controls how you react to your surroundings, what you see, and recognize the things around you.

An older man is having heart problems. If the problem is in his brain, it could be the result of damage to his
Brain Stem

How does the cerebrum affect our body?
The cerebrum holds all of our lobes, which control nearly every part of our function list as a human being.
300
What is neuroplasticity?
The ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury.
300
What is the right hemisphere responsible for?
The right side controls attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving.
400
What does the temporal lobe do?
This is where we hear, and where our most amazing parts are stored (memories).
400
If someone is having trouble with their memory and recognizing where they are or what something is, what part of their brain is damaged?
Cortex
400
What does the corpus callosum do?
The corpus callosum connects the two cerebral hemispheres, allowing them to communicate. It is also involved in movement control, cognitive functions, and vision.
400
What are localizers?
Localizers believe that the brain is divided into multiple sections each responsible for its own function.
400
In the late 1800s, what did doctors know that an injury to the spinal cord or brain stem could cause...
Paralysis
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!
500
Where are the four lobes all located in the brain?
They are located in the cerebral cortex.
500
A boy is having trouble remembering names and places. In what part of the brain would this problem occur.
Cortex
500
What goes on in the pre-motor area of the brain?
This part of the brain is what plans your movements.
500
How is the brain more complicated than either the Whole Brainers or the Localizers imagined?
It is divided into specific areas that control specific things and functions in the body.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!!

What is the left hemisphere responsible for?
The left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing.
