• temporal

• occipital

• nerves

• frontal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

A brain area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body sensations

• Somatosensory cortex (parietal lobe)

• Amygdala (temporal lobe)

• Occipital lobe

• Broca's area (frontal lobe)

a brain structure composed of gray matter that receives and relays sensory information to its corresponding brain region.

• thalamus

• Cerebellum

• Hypothalamus

• Amygdala

A hindbrain structure that connects the medulla to the two sides of the cerebellum; helps coordinate and integrate movements on each side of the body

• Pons

• Cerebral cortex

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus

A curved forebrain structure that is part of the limbic system and is involved in learning and forming new memories

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

• Prefrontal Cortex

• Thalamus

A limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion, particularly fear and aggression.

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Hypothalamus

• Cerebellum

A nerve network in the brainstem that plays an important role in controlling arousal.

• Reticular formation

• Cerebellum

• Hypothalamus

• Hippocampus

a part of the brain below the cerebrum. It controls coordination, use of muscles and balance.

• cerebellum

• Medulla oblongata

• Hypothalamus

• Thalamus

a part of the brain next to the thalamus. It regulates sleep, hunger and body temperature and the release of hormones.
