Studied by 1 personCerebrum or cerebral cortex:
________ handles the higher functions of thought and action.
Brain goes through extensive growth from
________ conception to birth and after birth, through infancy and later.
Cerebellum
________: receives information from the sensory systems, spinal cord, and other parts of the brain to coordinate balance and voluntary movement.
Parietal lobes
________: important in spatial location, maintaining attention, and motor control.
Brain imaging technology
________ is used to learn about the brains development.
Temporal lobes
________: have an active role in hearing, language processing, and memory.
Frontal lobes
________: involved in voluntary movement, thinking, personality, emotion, memory, sustained attention, and intentionality or purpose.
Brain stem
________:controls basic survival functions such as breathing, heart rate, and sleep.
Left hemisphere
right-side motor function; language centers (for right-handed people)
Right hemisphere
left-side motor function; humor and emotional tone
Occipital lobes
function in vision
Corpus callosum
connects the hemispheres
Some functions are lateralized, but
most need both sides
The cerebral cortex is
divided into two hemispheres: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere
Brain areas do not
mature uniformly.
Brain goes from 25 percent of its adult weight at birth to
75 percent by the second birthday.
Brain grows from
“bottom-up”
Examples of brain imaging technology
MEG, EEG, fMRI, fNIRS.
Where is the cerebellum located?
the top of the brain
The cerebrum/cerebral cortex accounts for how much of the brain’s mass?
2/3
What is the most primitive part of the brain?
The brain stem
