Having our heads examined 10-
Type of scan used for sleep study
research to look at brain wave
activity.
What is an EEG?
Back to Board
Having our heads examined 20-
Scan used to reveal brain damage;
series of x-ray photographs taken
from different angles.
What is a CT scan?
Back to Board
Having our heads examined 30-
Type of scan used to identify which
specific brain areas are most active during
a particular mental task.
What is an fMRI?
Back to Board
Having our heads examined 40-
The best type of scan to use in
order to detect enlarged fluidfilled brain regions in patients
with schizophrenia.
What is an MRI?
Back to Board
Having our heads examined 50-
Scan that shows visual display of
brain activity where radioactive
glucose goes while brain performs a
given task.
What is a PET scan?
Back to Board
Having our heads examined 100-
Naturally or experimentally caused
destruction of the brain tissue.
What is a lesion?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 10-
Located at the base of the brain
stem and controls life supporting
functions. Damaged = Death.
What is the Medulla?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 20-
Nerve network located up and down the
spinal cord. Controls level of alertness.
Damaged = Coma
What is the reticular
formation?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 30-
Controls balance, muscle
coordination & memories on how
to use your body. Damage =
loss of fine motor skills.
What is the cerebellum?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 40-
Regulates eating, drinking, body
temperature and the “fight or flight”
reaction to stress.
What is the hypothalamus?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 50-
Processes new memories for
permanent storage.
What is the Hippocampus?
Back to Board
Lower-level Brain Structures 100-
Controls emotional responses such
as FEAR and ANGER.
What is the Amygdala?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 10-
Demarcation that divides the brain
into two hemispheres.
What is the longitudinal
fissure?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 20-
Lobe used for processing and
mathematical reasoning and houses
the sensory strip.
What is the Parietal Lobe?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 30-
Lobe that registers hearing and
some speech functions.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 40-
The control and information
processing center; contains over 30
billion nerve cells.
What is the Cerebral Cortex?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 50-
Lobe used for making plans and
judgments and houses the motor strip.
What is the Frontal Lobe?
Back to Board
The Cerebral Cortex 100-
Lobe used to interpret visual
information and is located in the
back of your brain.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 10-
Located in the left frontal lobe and is
used for expressive language and
muscle movement.
What is a Broca’s area?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 20-
Impairment of language, usually
caused by left hemisphere damage.
What is Aphasia?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 30-
Transforms visual representations
into an auditory code.
What is the Angular Gyrus?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 40-
Located in the left temporal lobe;
controls receptive language (our ability
to understand what someone is saying).
What is Wernicke’s area?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 50-
Hemisphere where the brain processes
facial recognition and emotional
processing.
What is the Right Hemisphere?
Back to Board
The Hemispheres 100-
Large band of neural fibers connecting
the 2 hemispheres and carrying
messages between them.
What is the Corpus callosum?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 10-
Name of surgery performed to help patients
with extreme epilepsy minimize their
seizures.
What is Split-brain surgery?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 20-
System that includes the
hypothalamus, hippocampus,
pituitary gland and the amygdala.
What is the Limbic system?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 30-
Rat becomes severely overweight
(obese) due to over stimulation in
this area of the brain.
What is the hypothalamus?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 40-
Person experiences amnesia due to
damage of this area in the brain.
What is the Hippocampus?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 50-
Cells in the nervous system that support,
nourish, and protect neurons.
What are the Glial cells?
Back to Board
Random ?’s 100-
Areas in the cerebral cortex that are not
involved in primary motor or sensory
functions; are involved in higher mental
functions such as memory, thinking,
speaking, etc.
What are the association areas?
