Responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language. They are also involved in visual memory.
Frontal lobes
Parietal lobes
Temporal lobes
Occipital lobes
the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
Optic nerve
Auditory nerve
Vagus nerve
Radial nerve
Responsible for balance, movement, and coordination.
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Brainstem
Thalamus
controls most of the functions on the left side of the body; creative, musical, visual/facial recognition
Left cerebral hemisphere
Right cerebral hemisphere
Brainstem
Cerebellum
Responsible for the voluntary control of your skeletal muscles—the muscles we can move and control.
Motor cortex
Cerebellum
Brainstem
Spinal cord
Responsible for sensing touch, pressure, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste.
Sensory cortex
Motor cortex
Visual cortex
Auditory cortex
Controls body temperature, thirst, appetite, sleep patterns, and other processes in our bodies that happen automatically.
Hypothalamus
Cerebellum
Thalamus
Pituitary Gland
Responsible for the conscious perception of visual input.
Visual cortex
Auditory cortex
Somatosensory cortex
Prefrontal cortex
Responsible for sensing touch, spatial processing, language, and memory.
Frontal lobes
Temporal lobes
Occipital lobes
Parietal lobes
Carries messages from the sensory organs, like the eyes, ears, nose, and fingers, to the cerebrum.
Thalamus
Cerebellum
Hypothalamus
Medulla Oblongata
Responsible for the conscious perception of sound.
Auditory cortex
Visual cortex
Somatosensory cortex
Motor cortex
Responsible for many roles in behavior, mood and personality, such as planning, initiated movements, social and emotional processing, and attention, as well as roles in memory retrieval and storage.
Frontal lobes
Temporal lobes
Occipital lobes
Parietal lobes
The nerve fibers that connect the olfactory bulbs to the temporal lobes.
Olfactory tracts
Optic nerves
Cranial nerves
Spinal nerves
Receive information about smells from the nose and send it to the brain.
Olfactory bulbs
Optic nerves
Auditory cortex
Taste buds
Connects the brain and spinal cord
Cerebellum
Brain stem
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory.
Frontal lobes
Temporal lobes
Occipital lobes
Parietal lobes
A broad band of nerve fibers that connect the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
Corpus callosum
Cerebellum
Thalamus
Hippocampus
Responsible for all reasoning, planning, memory, and sensory processing. All conscious thought originates here.
Cerebrum
Cerebellum
Brainstem
Thalamus
the point in the brain where the visual field information from each eye "crosses over" to the appropriate side of the brain for processing
Optic chiasm
Corpora quadrigemina
Thalamus
Occipital lobe
controls the majority of functions on the right side of the body; logical, math, organization
Left cerebral hemisphere
Right cerebral hemisphere
Cerebellum
Brainstem
