The forebrain contains what specific parts of the brain?

The most complex part of the human brain is the:

What is the outer layer of the cerebrum called? It's responsible for information processing.

What communicates with the cerebrum and is the main input center for most sensory information?

This region of the brain is known as the main control center for the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system.

The hypothalamus helps to regulate basic biological needs, such as: (Choose all the apply).

What region receives information from the visual and auditory senses?

What region contains a large number of dopamine-releasing neurons?

This region of the brain contains reticular formation:

The reticular formation plays a role in: (choose all the apply).

The Hindbrain contains: (Choose all that apply).

The medulla and hypothalamus largely control biological functions that are:

The medulla controls unconscious biological functions such as: (Choose all that apply).

The pons connects the brainstem to the:

The pons does not assist in coordinating movement.

This region of the brain is located at the back portion of the brainstem.

The cerebellum assists in coordination of movement and sense of balance.

This lobe of the cerebral cortex governs movement and thinking.

This lobe of the cerebral cortex governs touch sensation and spatial relationships.

The visual cortex is located in this particular lobe.

This lobe of the cerebral cortex governs process sounds, including speech.

Within the cerebral cortex, this is an area behind the frontal lobes that controls movement.

Within the cerebral cortex, this region receives information from skin senses and from the movement of body parts.

The cerebral cortex is only partially involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.

Broca's area is typically found in the right hemisphere.

Wernicke's Area is typically found in the left hemisphere.

If someone has Broca's Aphasia, what is their particular difficulty?

Neurons are ______________ cells that provide communication throughout the body.

This is the structure which connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

This particular hemisphere largely controls language, logic, problem solving, and math.

This particular hemisphere governs imagination, feelings, art, and spatial relations.

People with Wernicke's Aphasia are characterized by: (Choose all that apply)

This part of the neuron receives impulses and conducts them to the cell body.

This part of the neuron produces energy for the cell.

This part of the neuron carries messages away from the cell body.

This part of the neuron insulates and protects the axon.

Neurotransmitters move from one axon terminal to the next neuron.

This neurotransmitter is released naturally while eating,

and during sex and unnaturally as with drug addiction.

Low levels of this neurotransmitter is linked to depression.

Antidepressants increase levels of this neurotransmitter.

After a stroke, too much of this neurotransmitter is produced and a

patient has problems with learning and memory.

This neurotransmitter helped increase blood flow in Burt B’s blood

vessels, so he could run faster after seeing a mouse.

An imbalance with this neurotransmitter is linked to muscular

disorders and alzheimer’s disease.

This neurotransmitter is responsible for Burt B’s ‘runner’s high’ and

has been called our bodies ‘natural pain killers.

An imbalance of this neurotransmitter can cause anxiety and is

even linked to epilepsy.
