What is the Parietal lobe ?
This lobe helps you hear and understand sounds.
What is the temporal lobe?
The cerebellum helps you do this when you walk on a beam.
what is balance ?
A special cell in your brain that sends messages to different parts of the body
What is a neuron?

This lobe is found on the sides of the brain, near your ears.
What is the temporal lobe?
The occipital lobe helps you see
What is the sense of vision?
This part of the brain connects to the spinal cord.
What is the brain stem?
The message travels down a long part or road
What is an axon?
There’s another part inside the temporal lobe. It is used for making and storing memories. Is it called “hippocampus” or “hippopotamus” ?
Hippocampus
This lobe helps you make decisions and solve problems
What is the frontal lobe?
The parietal lobe helps you understand the space around you and this sense.
What is spatial awareness ?

Name all the four main lobes of the brain with their functions.
Frontal - language and thinking, taste
Temporal - hear, smell, taste
Parietal - touch, temperature , pain
Occipital - vision
The study of the brain, its structure and functions, is called
Neuroscience
The brain stem controls automatic actions like your heart beating and this. (Think of a gas station that has the same first two letters of this word)
What is BP - blood pressure?
