Exploring Cognitive Neuroscience

What are the four main lobes of the brain?

• hippocampus

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

• brainstem

• cerebellum

Which lobe is primarily responsible for vision?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Frontal lobe

What is the basic functional unit of the nervous system?

• Neuron

• Synapse

• Dendrite

• Axon

How do neurons communicate with each other?

• Neurons communicate by direct contact without any chemical signals.

• Neurons communicate through electrical impulses only.

• Neurons use hormones to transmit signals between each other.

• Neurons communicate through synaptic transmission using neurotransmitters.

What role does the limbic system play in emotions?

• The limbic system regulates body temperature.

• The limbic system is responsible for motor control.

• The limbic system is involved in visual processing.

• The limbic system is essential for processing and regulating emotions.

Which part of the brain is involved in memory formation?

• Occipital Lobe

• Hippocampus

• Frontal Lobe

• Cerebellum

What is the function of Broca's area?

• Broca's area is responsible for memory retention.

• Broca's area is responsible for language production.

• Broca's area controls visual processing.

• Broca's area regulates emotional responses.

What is the primary role of Wernicke's area?

• The primary role of Wernicke's area is language comprehension.

• Language production

• Motor control

• Visual processing

How do Broca's and Wernicke's areas interact during speech?

• Both areas function independently without interaction.

• Wernicke's area produces speech while Broca's area listens.

• Broca's area is responsible for language comprehension only.

• Broca's area produces speech based on the language comprehension facilitated by Wernicke's area.

What are some common disorders associated with damage to these areas?

• Enhanced problem-solving skills

• Improved emotional stability

• Common disorders include personality changes, memory loss, language difficulties, spatial awareness issues, and visual disturbances.

• Increased physical strength
