| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A Neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eatin, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward. | Hypothalamus |
| A neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage. | Hippocampus |
| The intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells covering the cerebral hemispheres; the body's ultimate control and information-processing center. | Cerebral cortex |
| The large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them. | Corpus callosum |
| Associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. | Frontal lobe |
| A region of the cerebral cortex whose functions include processing information about bodily touch. | Parietal lobe |
| Control vision | Occipital lobe |
| Controls hearing | Temporal lobe |
| An area at the rear of the frontal lobe that controls voluntary movements | Motor cortex |
| Area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations | Somatosensory cortex |
| Control language production. Tells our mouth to move | Broca's area |
| Areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking | Association areas |
| Controls our ability to understand and comprehend language | Wernicke's area |
