1. Frontal Lobe – responsible for cognition, recent memory, and planning of movement

2. Motor Area – largely responsible for the body’s voluntary movement

3. Broca’s Area – responsible for the production of language and speech

4. Parietal Lobe – process motion and spatial relationships

5. Somatosensory Area – bodily sensations involving spatial location and attention

6. Somatosensory association area – encompasses specific locations associated with the ability to perceive touch and pressure in a particular area of the body.

7. Occipital Lobe - vision

            8. Visual Area – responsible for processing information about sight

            9. Visual Association Area - associated with vision

10. Temporal Lobe – hearing and advanced visual processing

            11. Primary Auditory Area – responsible for hearing

            12. Wernicke’s Area – responsible in articulating speech and processes the thought you want to communicate;        understand words.

13. Left Hemisphere – controls right side of body. Usually concentrates more on tasks that require verbal competence, such as speaking, reading, thinking, and reasoning. Tends to process information sequentially, one bit at a time.

14. Right Hemisphere – controls left side of body. Own strengths in nonverbal areas such as the understanding of spatial relationships, recognition of patterns and drawings, music, and emotional expression. Tends to process information globally, considering it as a whole.

15. Cerebellum – responsible for body movement, balance, coordination, and fine motor skills.

16. Pons – governs sleep and arousal

17. Medulla Oblongata – regulates breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and reflexes

18. Amygdala – involved in fear and the discrimination of objects necessary for organisms survival

19. Pituitary Gland – regulates many activities of other endocrine glands

10. Hippocampus - largely responsible in processing and storing memory

21. Hypothalamus – maintains homeostasis and regulates vital behavior such as eating, drinking, and sexual behavior.

22. Thalamus – acts primarily to relay information about the senses between lower and higher brain centers

23. Pre-Frontal Cortex – governs higher brain function such as thinking, learning, and consciousness as well as planning, reasoning, and self-control.

24. Basil ganglia – clusters of neurons that control and coordinate voluntary movements and habitual behavior

25. Corpus Collosum – bridge of fibers passing information between the two cerebral hemispheres
