Parts and Function of the Brain

Located in the hindbrain, this structure is responsible for coordinated movement and balance

• cerebellum
• medulla
• pons
• brain stem

This structure helps pass information between the two hemispheres of the brain.

• corpus callosum
• hypothalamus
• pons
• amygdala

When this area of the brain is damaged, patients loose the ability to speak fluently.

• Broca's area
• Hypothalamus
• Amygdala
• Occipital lobe

You actually do 'have eyes in the back of your head' because this region of the brain responsible for visual processing is right above the cerebellum!

• temporal lobe
• sensory cortex
• occipital lobe
• gyri

The _______ lobe is used to process auditory information and contains the Broca's area and the Wernicke's area.

• parietal
• prefrontal
• occipital
• temporal

Which structure is NOT in the hindbrain?

• amygdala
• cerebellum
• pons
• medulla

This layer of the brain is  also known as the 'ancient brain'

• hindbrain
• midbrain
• forebrain
• spinal cord

Records the waves of electrical activity (studies seizures)

• EEG
• MRI
• CT Scan
• fMRI

Shows brain function by using a radioactive glucose solution (active neurons love glucose)

• MRI
• CT Scan
• PET Scan
• fMRI

Which letter on the illustration represents the frontal lobe? 

• A
• B
• C
• D
