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