Brain Anatomy and Physiology

This structure is importantfor the storage of new memories

• Cerebellum
• Thalamus
• Hippocampus
• Amygdala

This structure connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain

• Cerebellum
• Hypothalamus
• Medulla  Oblongata
• Corpus Callosum

This structure coordinates balance and voluntary movements

• corpus callosum
• cerebellum
• cerebrum
• spinal cord

brain's "sensory switchboard":  directs sensory messages to proper area of the brain

• thalamus
• hypothalamus
• hippocampus
• reticular formation

involved in emotional responses like fear and anger

• cerebellum
• medulla oblongata
• hypothalamus
• amygdala

This larger portion of the brain  is involved in thinking, problem solving, and "executive functioning" 

• cerebellum
• cerebrum
• brain stem
• hypothalamus

This processes visual information 

• occipital lobe
• temporal lobe
• frontal lobe
• parietal lobe

Which lobe of the brain is in color?

• Frontal
• Parietal
• Occipital
• Temporal

What part of the brain is this (in color)?

• Thalamus
• Frontal lobe
• Pons
• Hipocampus

If this portion of the brain is damaged, you might have problems maintaining proper heart rates, respiratory rates, blood pressure levels, etc.

• Pons
• Cerebellum
• Brain stem
• Thalamus
