The primary functions include regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep-wake cycles, and controlling the release of hormones from the pituitary gland, which in turn affects other glands. It is also involved in emotions, memory, and the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system
What is the Hypothalamus?
100
This hemisphere of the brain is responsible for:
Nonverbal: understanding simple sentences/words
Spatial: solving spatial problems
Holistic: combining parts that make up a whole
What is the right hemisphere?
100
Connects the hindbrain to the forebrain, has pathways important to hearing and vision.
What is the Midbrain?
100
Portion of the cerebral cortex lying above the ears, each lobe receive information from the opposite ear.
What are the temporal lobes?
100
Large band of neural fibers that connect the two hemispheres and also allows to transfer messages between the two of them.
What is the Corpus Callosum?
200
Acts as the brain's central relay station, processing and relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. It is also crucial for regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness.
What is the Thalamus?
200
This hemisphere of the brain is responsible for:
Verbal: speaking, understanding, language, reading, writing
Math: adding, subtracting, multiplying, calculus, and physics
Analytics: analyzing separate pieces that make up a whole
What is the Left Hemisphere?
200
Located behind the spinal cord
helps control posture, balance, and voluntary movement
What is the Cerebellum?
200
Portion of the cerebral cortex that lies in the back of the head and receives information from the visual fields.
What are the occipital lobes?

During soccer practice, Jordan collided with another player and fell backward, hitting the back of their head on the field. Later that day, Jordan tried to walk across the room but felt wobbly and unsteady, almost as if their legs weren’t keeping up with their intentions. When Jordan reached to pick up a water bottle, their hand shook and missed the target. Their coach also noticed that Jordan’s movements seemed slow and poorly coordinated, even though Jordan insisted they felt fine.
What part of Jordan's brain may have been affected by accident?
What is the cerebellum?
300
Outer part of the forebrain and made up of gray matter; involved in many high-level functions, such as reasoning, emotion, thought, memory, language and consciousness. Each lobe of your brain is associated with different function.
What is the Cerebral Cortex?
300
What lobe of the brain is this illustrating?
What is the occipital lobe?
300
Made up of tracts that connect the spinal cord to higher brain levels and transfers information from the cerebrum and cerebellum.
What are the Pons?
300
The portion of the cerebral cortex that lies at the top of the head going towards the rear, it receives sensory input for body positions and touch.
What are the parietal lobes?
300
Bobby's grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. She is beginning to forgot tasks that she has done earlier in the day, but she is still able to remember long-term memories.
The part of her brain that is being most affected is known as the...
What is the hippocampus?
400
Production of hormones and is part of the endocrine system.
What is the pituitary gland?
400
What part of the limbic system does this illustrate? (The almond shaped structure)
What is the amygdala?
400
Transmits signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain, controls autonomic functions such as respiration and your heartbeat.
What is the Medulla?
400
The portion of the cerebral cortex that lies just right behind the forehead, it is involved with speaking and muscle movements. PERSONALITY AND MAKING JUDGEMENTS!!
What are the frontal lobes?

After a car accident, Maya woke up in the hospital feeling strangely overwhelmed by even the smallest sensations. Soft lights felt painfully bright, and normal conversation sounded loud and confusing. When nurses touched her arm to check her blood pressure, she couldn’t clearly tell where the touch was coming from. Sometimes she felt sensations on the wrong part of her body, and other times she didn’t feel them at all. Doctors explained that the part of her brain responsible for sorting and routing sensory information had been injured.
The part of the brain responsible is known as...
What is the thalamus?
500
The end portion of nerves that are found throughout the brain.
What are dendrites?
500
What lobe is in the blue? 
What is the frontal lobe?

Alcohol can cause slower breathing and heart rate. It a lot of alcohol is used over a short period of time, it can cause a person to go into a coma when this part of the brain shuts down. What part of the hindbrain is this?
What is the medulla?
500
A part of the limbic system that is crucial for learning and memory, particularly for forming new memories and navigating the environment.
What is the hippocampus?
500
A critical almond like structure in the limbic system responsible for processing emotions, especially fear, and linking them to memories. It controls the "fight or flight" response by detecting threats and preparing the body for action through physiological changes like increased heart rate
What is the amgydala?
