• The frontal lobe

• The parietal lobe

• The occipital lobe

Which lobe of the brain is located at the rear of the brain?

• Occipital

• Parietal

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Corpus callosum

Neurogenesis is the process by which

• one brain structure takes on the functions of an adjacent structure.

• our brain creates new neurons.

• the amygdala and thalamus work together to keep the body awake and alert.

• association areas expand as new material is learned.

• the brain adapts to new learning.

The surface layer of interconnected neural cells that covers the cerebrum is called the

• cerebellum.

• corpus callosum.

• reticular formation.

• cerebral cortex.

• sensory cortex.

The occipital lobes are to ________ as the temporal lobes are to ________.

• hearing; sensing movement

• seeing; sensing touch

• sensing pleasure; sensing pain

• seeing; hearing

• speaking; hearing

Which region of the brain will a fMRI show as active when a person is looking at a photo?

• temporal lobes

• parietal lobes

• occipital lobes

• frontal lobes

• association areas

The most extensive regions of the cerebral cortex, which enable learning and memory, are called the

• reticular formation.

• medulla.

• sensory areas.

• cerebellum.

• association areas.

Which brain area is primarily involved with controlling speech?

• sensory cortex

• angular gyrus

• association areas

• Broca's area

• hypothalamus
