| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Longitudinal fissure | Long deep groove that separates left and right cerebral hemispheres. |
| Temporal lobes | Form lateral surfaces of each cerebral hemisphere. Separated from parietal and frontal lobes by the lateral fissure. Neurons are involved in hearing, language, memory, and emotions. |
| Insula (Insular lobe) | Deep underneath the lateral fissures; neurons are involved in taste and visceral (internal organ) functions. |
| Frontal lobes | Most anterior lobes; responsible for planning and executing movement and complex mental functions such as behavior, conscience, and personality. |
| Central sulcus | Shallow groove that is the posterior border of the frontal lobe. |
| Occipital lobes | Make up the posterior aspect of each cerebral hemisphere. Separated from the parietal lobe by the parieto-occipital sulcus. Neurons process vision. |
| Precentral gyrus | Contains the primary motor cortex. |
| Parietal lobes | Just posterior to the frontal lobes; responsible for processing and integrating sensory information and attention. |
| Postcentral gyrus | Contains the primary somatosensory cortex. |
| Cerebellum | Makes up the posterior and inferior portion of the brain; coordinates movement through connections with the cerebral cortex, basal nuclei, brainstem, and spinal cord. |
