Motion
Part of the brain, translating to "Little Brain", primarily used for error correction, balance, posture, and the coordination of movements.
The Cerebellum
A long, thick band of nerves that works to connect both hemispheres of the brain to combine things like vision.
Corpus Collasum
Helps to suppress pain, motor movements, and sensory processing.
The Midbrain
Located in the temporal lobe, responsible for navigation and memory formation.
The Hippocampus
Processes raw, simple visual information and cues, located in the back of the brain, and is the smallest of the lobes
Occipital lobe
Major communication highway between the brain and the body.
The Spinal Cord
Handles speech production and the way sentences are formed inside the brain.
Wernicke's Area
Controls autonomic functions like heart rate, breathing, and reflex actions.
The Medulla
Small almond-shaped structure, used to identify threats, process emotions, and memory consolidation.
The Amygdala
Controls voluntary movements, problem solving, reasoning, and any ethical dilemmas the mind experiences.
Frontal Lobe
The largest part of the brain, controls higher-level voluntary movements and processing of sensory information.
The Cerebrum
Controls attention, arousal, and awakeness. It also works to block small sensory messages so the brain doesn't become overwhelmed.
Reticular Activating System
Works to regulate vital unconscious processes, motor control, and sensory signals, connecting major parts of the brain like the cerebellum, cerebrum, and spinal cord.
The Pons
Regulate and relay consciousness, sleep, attention, and emotions with the cerebral cortex.
The Thalamus
The lobe of the brain is used for spatial awareness and movement.
Parietal Lobe
Motor commands move through the body at speeds up to 268 MPH, which is much faster than this racing sport.
Formula 1
Prepares and uses facial muscles to form words, pronunciations, and noises.
Broca's Area
Brain shared with ancient reptiles, much like the brain stem, which controls primal instincts rather than complex movements and thoughts. Referred to as "The ____ Brain"
Maintains the body's homeostasis, like body temperature, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, etc.
The Hypothalamus
Processes sound, creates long-term memories, and identifies complex objects like faces.
Partietal Lobe
The major hemisphere that is not needed to live. Known as the "____" Hemisphere.
The Cerebral Hemisphere.
While asleep, the Reticular Activating System (RAS) ignores this sense, which explains why smoke alarms are noise-based.
Smell
The Brain Stem is home to 10/12 major ____ nerves
Cranial Nerves.
The Limbic System used to be considered "The Brain of ___"
The fattiest part of your body, made up of 63% percent of fat.
