BRAIN STRUCTURES, ETYMOLOGY and FUNCTIONS

STRUCTURE
|ETYMOLOGY|FUNCTION|

Prefrontal Cortex
(or Frontal Lobe) |Frontal-1650s, of the forehead; From Modern Latin frontalis, from front-, stem of frons "brow, forehead."

Lobe-Early 15c., "a lobe of the liver or lungs," from Middle French lobe and directly from Medieval Latin lobus, from Late Latin lobus "hull, husk, pod."|The gray matter of the anterior part of the frontal lobe that plays a role in the regulation of complex cognitive, emotional, FFand behavioral functioning.|
Temporal Lobe
|Mid-14c., "worldly, secular," later "of time, terrestrial, earthly."|The lower lateral lobe of either cerebral hemisphere, located in front of the occipital lobe and containing the sensory center of hearing in the brain.|
Occipital Lobe |1540s, from Middle French occipital, from Medieval Latin occipitalis, from Latin occiput (genitive occipitis) "back of the skull," from ob "against, behind."|The occipital lobes are positioned at the back region of the cerebral cortex and are the main centers for visual processing.|
Parietal Lobe |Early 15c., "pertaining to the walls of a cavity in the body," from Late Latin parietalis "of walls," from Latin paries (genitive parietis) "wall" (of a building), of unknown origin.|Complex sensory information from the body is processed in the parietal lobe, which also controls the ability to understand language.|
Limbic Region|1879, from French limbique (1878, Broca), from limbe, from Latin limbus "edge."| The limbic system is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain structures located on top of the brainstem and buried under the cortex. Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. Such emotions include fear, anger, and emotions related to sexual behavior.|
Cerebellum| 1560s, from Latin cerebellum "a small brain," diminutive of cerebrum "brain."| A large projecting part of the brain concerned

    The command center of the human nervous system is the brain. The sensory organs send information to the brain, which then sends output to the muscles. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum. Underneath the cerebrum lies the brainstem, and behind that sits the cerebellum. The outmost layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, which has four lobes. There is a frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The brain develops from three sections known as the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. There are two hemispheres, the left and the right. These two hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum.…

    There are three major brain divisions. They are the cerebrum, the brainstem, and the cerebellum. The cerebrum contains 40% of the weight of the brain and is founded in the superior part of the brain. This portion of the brain has many functions and lobes which perform certain functions. The frontal lobe is involved with “activating and controlling both fine and complex motor activities.” This involves speech. It is also involved with the executive functions, such as reasoning and rationalizing, among others. The occipital lobe is concerned with vision and processing the information received from the eyes. According to the reading, the “key functions of the parietal lobes include perceiving and integrating sensory and perceptual information,…
