A blind person may have experienced damage to her:

• visual cortex
• prefrontal area
• Broca's area
• auditory association area

The four regions of the cerebral cortex are referred to as:

• lesions
• lobes
• pons
• corpus callosum

If a head injury results in someone no longer being able to hear, which part of the brain may have been damaged?

This area controls breathing, heart-rate, and reflexes

• pons
• medulla oblongata
• cerebral cortex
• cerebrum

Where is the prefrontal cortex located?

• At the base of the brain
• At the center of the brain
• The left side of the brain
• Behind the forehead

This lobe of the brain is primarily responsible for our sight. 

• Frontal
• Parietal
• Temporal
• Occipital 

This part of our brain is responsible for our emotions and aggression

• Amygdala
• Hypothalamus
• Hippocampus
• Pons 

Name the lobe that appears pink in this image.
