Brain Areas Reversed

Question 1

Sits at the back of the head and are responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion.

Answer 1

The Occipital Lobe

Question 2

A very important structure involved in executing voluntary motor movements.

Answer 2

Precentral Gyrus or Primary Motor Cortex

Question 3

A component of the limbic system, it is involved in processing emotions and behavior regulation. It also helps to regulate autonomic motor function. Helps manage your: Body temperature, Blood pressure, Hunger and thirst, Sense of fullness when eating, Mood, Sex drive, and Sleep.

Answer 3

Hypothalamus or Anterior Cingulate Gyrus

Question 4

Maintaining balance, Coordinating movement, Vision,
Motor learning, thinking, including processing language and mood.

Answer 4

Cerebellum

Question 5

They are most commonly associated with processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory. Are also believed to play an important role in processing affect/emotions, language, and certain aspects of visual perception.

Answer 5

Temporal Lobe

Question 6

Receives the majority of the somatic sensory relay information from the thalamus.

Answer 6

Postcentral Gyrus or Somatosensory Cortex

Question 7

This brain region has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and moderating social behaviour. The basic activity of this brain region is considered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals. The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the prefrontal cortex area is executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based on actions, and social “control” (the ability to suppress urges that, if not suppressed, could lead to socially unacceptable outcomes).

Answer 7

Prefrontal Cortex of the Frontal Lobe

Question 8

The two hemispheres in your brain are connected by a thick bundle of nerve fibres that ensures both sides of the brain can communicate and send signals to each other.

Answer 8

Corpus Callosum

Question 9

Send motor commands from the brain to the body, send sensory information from the body to the brain, and coordinate reflexes.

Answer 9

Spinal Cord

Question 10

Being an integral part of the limbic system, plays a vital role in regulating learning, memory encoding, memory consolidation, and spatial navigation.

Answer 10

Hippocampus

Question 11

Fight or flight

Answer 11

Sympathetic Division of the Autonomic Nervous System

Question 12

This area appears to be uniquely important for the comprehension of speech sounds and is considered to be the receptive language, or language comprehension, centre.

Answer 12

Wernicke’s Area

Question 13

A region of the brain in the frontal lobe involved in speech production. It is responsible for the planning and production of speech. It helps coordinate the muscles involved in speech and plays a role in understanding language.

Answer 13

Broca’s Area

Question 14

Is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal.

Answer 14

Autonomic Nervous System

Question 15

The part of your basal ganglia. While it’s very small, this structure is essential in how your brain controls your body’s movements. It also plays a part in the chemical signaling in your brain, which affects learning, mood, judgment, decision-making and other processes. (Parkinsons)

Answer 15

Substantia Nigra of the Midbrain

Question 16

A central role in our emotional responses, including feelings like pleasure, fear, anxiety and anger.

Answer 16

Amygdala of the Limbic System

Question 17

It handles unconscious processes and jobs, such as your sleep-wake cycle and breathing. Need to pee. Links your brain to your spinal cord. Handles all of your unconscious movements and processes. These cycles include everything from your sleeping to your breathing. Multiple nerve points in your pons also control your muscles and affect your head and facial nerves.

Answer 17

Pons

Question 18

A subdivision of your peripheral nervous system, which is all of your nervous system except your brain and spinal cord. Allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body. It also feeds information from four of your senses — smell, sound, taste and touch — into your brain.

Answer 18

Somatic Division of the Motor Division of the Peripheral Nervous System

Question 19

It processes your sense of touch and assembles input from your other senses into a form you can use. Also helps you understand where you are in relation to other things that your senses are picking up around you.
Self-perception, Sensory integration, Learned movements, andLocation awareness.

Answer 19

Parietal Lobe

Question 20

Where your cardiovascular and respiratory systems link together into a united system that controls your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and more. Manages other automatic processes. These are things that your body often does without you having to think about them.

Answer 20

Medulla
