This structure is responsible for helping us make new memories and navigate around the world.
Hippocampus
What lobe? (visual information)
Occipital Lobe
What is the brain structure?
Cerebral Cortex
This joins the two separate hemispheres of the brain together, thus allowing communication between them.
Corpus Callosum
What is the yellow lobe of the brain?
Parietal Lobe
All sensory data from neurons arrives here first and then is sent to relevant parts of the brain.
Thalamus
What lobe? (hearing, understanding of speech)
Temporal Lobe
This controls autonomic functions like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and vomiting. It is also called the medulla oblongata.
Brain Stem
What cortical lobe is the primary motor cortex located in?
Frontal lobe
What is the brain structure?
Corpus Callosum
What is this brain structure?
Thalamus
What lobe? (sensations from our skin, such as touch, pressure, temperature and muscle movement)
Parietal Lobe
What is the brain structure?
Amygdala
What cortical lobe is the primary somatosensory cortex located in?
Parietal lobe
This gland is quite large in humans, and it produces melatonin. It is often referred to as our ‘body clock’ as it has an important role in the sleep wake cycle.
Pineal Gland
What lobe? (thinking, personality, emotional behaviour, initiative, planning, self-awareness, decision making, speech production, voluntary control of muscles)
Frontal Lobe
What is the brain structure?
Hippocampus
This joins the two separate hemispheres of the brain together, thus allowing communication between them.
Corpus Callosum
What is this brain structure?
Brain Stem
What is the brain structure?
Pineal Gland
Located at the posterior of the brain. It has many functions, but coordinating movement and balance is its main one.
Cerebellum
This structure is responsible for maintaining our body temperature, appetite, thirst and hormones.
Hypothalamus
This structure plays a key role in our emotional regulation, especially in anger and fear.
Amygdala
What is the brain structure?
Hypothalamus
What is the blue lobe of the brain?
Occipital Lobe
This is where the four lobes of the brain exist.
Cerebral Cortex
What is the brain structure?
Corpus Callosum
