Question | Answer |
---|---|
Frontal Lobe: | Preforms Executive Functions and coordinates functions of other parts of the brain |
Parietal Lobe | Touch Info, integrates vision or touch |
Temporal Lobe | Processes auditory info, language and autobiographical memory |
Occipital Lobe | Processes Visual info |
Thalamus | Conveys Sensory info to cortex |
Hyptholamus | Oversees endocrine and autonomic nervous system |
Amygdala | Regulates arousal and fear |
Hippocampus | Processes Memory |
Midbrain | Tracks visual stimuli and reflexes triggered by sound |
Pons | Conveys info between the cortex and cerebellum |
Medulla | Regulates breathing and hearbeats |
Forebrain (Cerebrum) | Advanced Intellect |
Cerebral Hemispheres | 2 parts of the cerebral cortex |
corpus callosum | large band of fibers connecting cerebral hemispheres |
cerebral cortex | responsible for analyzing sensory processing and higher level reasoning |
frontal lobe | motor function,language, memory and planning |
Motor Cortex | Part of the frontal lobe responsible for movement |
Prefrontal Cortex (Frontal Lobe) | Part of the Frontal Lobe responsible for thinking, planning and language |
Broca's Area (Prefrontal Cortex) | Language are of Prefrontal Cortex that helps control sppech production. |
Pareital Lobe | Touch and perception |
Temporal Lobe | Hearing, understanding, learning and memory |
Wernicke's area | Involved in understanding speech |
Occipital Lobe (cerebral cortex) | Vision |
Primary Sensory Cortex (cerebral cortex) | Initial processing of the senses |
Association cortex (cerebral cortex) | integrate simpler functions to preform more complex ones |
Basal Ganglia (Forebrain) | Help Control Movement |
Limbic System | Emotional Center of the brain- plays rolls in smells, motivation and memory |
thalamus | gateway from sense organs to the primary sensory cortex |
Hypothalamus | Temp Regulation-- maintains an internal state |
Amygdala (limbic system) | Fear, arousal, excitement |
Brain Stem | Between spinal cord and cerebral cortex, that contains the midbrain, pons, and medulla. |
