Matching Pairs The Brain; Structure and Function MatchingOnline version Test your knowledge on the different functions of regions in the brain and functional areas of the cerebral cortex with this matching game. by Breisch, Lauren 1 Temporal Lobe 2 Amygdala 3 Occipital Lobe 4 Parietal Lobe 5 Brainstem 6 Frontal Lobe 7 Hippocampus 8 Cerebellum Controls basic functions like breathing Responsible for decision making Processes visual information Involved in memory formation Plays a role in emotional responses Involved in hearing and language Coordinates movement and balance Processes sensory information 1 Frontal Eye Field 2 Somatosensory Association Cortex 3 Visceral Sensory Area 4 Promotor Cortex 5 Primary Visual Cortex 6 Broca’s Area 7 Primary Somatosensory Cortex 8 Vestibular Cortex 9 Primary Motor Cortex 10 Visual Association Area 11 Auditory Association Area 12 Primary Auditory Cortex Pyramidal cells allow conscious control and precision of voluntary movements of skeletal muscles; located in precentral gyrus of frontal lobe This region selects and sequences motor movements using sensory information received from other cortical areas; anterior to Primary Motor Cortex. Largest cortical sensory area. Region in the occipital lobe that receives visual information that originates on the retina of the eye. Superior margin of temporal lobe; interprets sound impulses allowing us to identify rhythm, loudness, and location of sound stimuli. Wernicke’s area gives reference to memory and sound. Permits perception of sound and differentiating noise from speech, thunder, or music. Located on the post-central gyrus of parietal lobe, this area allows for spatial discrimination of the body. This area allows awareness to balance. Controls voluntary movement of the eyes. Integrate sensory inputs such as temperature, pressure, etc… Produces understanding of an object being felt. Uses past visual experience to interpret visual stimuli; ability to recognize faces Conscious perception of sensations like upset stomach, full bladder, and holding your breath. Located posterior to the gustatory cortex. Motor speech area, directing muscles involved in speech. Is present only in the left hemisphere
