StarStarStarStar

Frontal Lobe

StarStarStarStar

Responsible for executive functions, such as decision making, problem solving, and planning.

StarStarStarStar

Parietal Lobe

StarStarStarStar

Processes sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.

StarStarStarStar

Cerebellum

StarStarStarStar

Coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech.

StarStarStarStar

Brainstem

StarStarStarStar

Responsible for basic life functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

StarStarStarStar

Amygdala

StarStarStarStar

Involved in emotion processing, particularly fear and pleasure responses.

StarStarStarStar

Temporal Lobe

StarStarStarStar

Involved in auditory processing and is also important for memory.

StarStarStarStar

Thalamus

StarStarStarStar

Acts as the brain's relay station, directing messages to the sensory receiving areas and transmitting replies to the cerebellum and medulla.

StarStarStarStar

Prefrontal Cortex

StarStarStarStar

Associated with complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, and moderating social behaviour.

StarStarStarStar

Occipital Lobe

StarStarStarStar

Dedicated to processing visual information.

StarStarStarStar

Basal Ganglia

StarStarStarStar

A group of structures involved in controlling voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, and cognitive functions.

StarStarStarStar

Primary Motor Cortex

StarStarStarStar

Controls voluntary movements of specific body parts associated with areas of the frontal lobe.

StarStarStarStar

Insula

StarStarStarStar

Involved in consciousness and plays a role in diverse functions usually linked to emotion or the regulation of the body's homeostasis.

StarStarStarStar

Corpus Callosum

StarStarStarStar

Connects the two hemispheres of the brain and allows them to communicate with each other.

StarStarStarStar

Visual Cortex

StarStarStarStar

Processes visual information and is involved in the perception of movement and color.

StarStarStarStar

Broca's Area

StarStarStarStar

Involved in speech production and articulation.

StarStarStarStar

Primary Sensory Cortex

StarStarStarStar

Receives and processes sensory input from the body, including touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.

StarStarStarStar

Cingulate Cortex

StarStarStarStar

Part of the limbic system, involved in emotional formation and processing, learning, and memory.

StarStarStarStar

Hypothalamus

StarStarStarStar

Regulates many of the body's key processes, such as metabolism and body temperature. The hypothalamus is also an important emotional center.

StarStarStarStar

Hippocampus

StarStarStarStar

Crucial for the formation of new memories and spatial orientation.

StarStarStarStar

Wernicke's Area

StarStarStarStar

Responsible for understanding spoken and written language.
