Section 3: The Brain

The amygdala, the hypothalamus and the hippocampus are a part of

• limbic system
• cerebral cortex
• hindbrain
• forebrain

Damage to the prefrontal cortex might result in

• reduced planning abilities
• blindness
• impaired balance and muscle coordination
• deafness

The ability of brain tissue to take on new functions, usually occurs after parts of the brain have been damaged

• Neurogenesis
• Brain Plasticity
• Somatic Regeneration
• Stem Cell Lesions

The split-brain procedure involves the cutting of this

• Cerebral Cortex
• Cerebellum
• Corpus Callosum
• Caudate Nucleus

Damage to the cerebellum would most affect the career of

• an architect
• a teacher
• an athlete
• a librarian

Damage this and you won't form new memories

• Hypothalamus
• Hippocampus
• Amygdala
• Thalamus

Controls motivational behaviors, including: feeding, fight-flight response, and fornicating

• Hippocampus
• Amygdala
• Reticular Formation
• Hypothalamus

Wrinkled part of the brain's surface where the body processes information

• Forebrain
• Cerebral Cortex
• Corpus Callosum
• Cerebellum

Possesses the Motor Cortex

• Temporal Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Occipital Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

A  person has difficulty speaking possibly due to a stroke.

• Broca's Aphasia
