each of the following functions: 1. Basal ganglia Controls cognition‚ movement coordination‚ voluntary movement. 2. Corpus collosum Thick nerve fibers that connect both brain hemispheres. 3. Temporal lobe Located on the sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Deals with talking and hearing. 4. Occipital lobe Located at the back of each hemisphere of the brain‚ this is where you understand what you see 5. Frontal lobe Involved in organization and planning and inhibition control

2014 The temporal lobe is a region of the cerebral cortex that is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobes are involved in the retention of visual memories‚ processing sensory input‚ comprehending language‚ storing new memories‚ emotion‚ and deriving meaning. The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of mammals‚ located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of) the parietal

and the nerve cells which run through the body. Frontal Lobe: The frontal lobe is one of four lobes in the cerebral hemisphere. This lobe controls a several elements including creative thought‚ problem solving‚ intellect‚ judgment‚ behavior‚ attention‚ abstract thinking‚ physical reactions‚ muscle movements‚ coordinated movements‚ smell and personality. Parietal Lobe:Located in the cerebral hemisphere‚ this lobe focuses on comprehension. Visual functions‚ language‚ reading‚ internal stimuli‚ tactile

aortic Aneurysms and cerebral Aneurysms. The main difference between an aortic aneurysm and a cerebral Aneurysm is the location. An aortic aneurysm occurs in the aorta. A cerebral aneurysm occurs in a blood vessel in the brain. There are several factors that can cause an aortic aneurysm. Some of the main causes include atherosclerosis‚ smoking‚ hypertension‚ vacuities‚ cocaine use‚ genetic links‚ or a traumatic/previous aorta injury. There are not as many causes for a cerebral aneurysm. A couple of

Twenty Parts of the Brain and Their Functions 1. Pons A structure of the brain stem that is involved in sleeping‚ waking‚ and dreaming. 2. Medulla A structure of the brain stem that is responsible for automatic bodily functions‚ such as breathing and heart rate. 3. Reticular Activating System The RAS screens incoming information and arouses the cortex when something happens that requires their attention. 4. Cerebellum The cerebellum functions as a "lesser brain" It contributes
