5. Corpus Callosum Band of nerves connecting the two hemispheres Allows the hemispheres to communicate

6. Fissures “Wrinkles” Deepest grooves in the brain Central Fissure - divides hemisphere in half from front to back Lateral Fissure - runs along the side of each hemisphere

7. Frontal Lobe Located at the front of the brain in front of the central fissure Responsible for PERSONALITY, EMOTIONS, MEMORY of experiences, and REASONING

8. Broca’s Area: Dr. Paul Broca 1861 Tan Part of the brain that allows you to be able to speak Located in the left frontal lobe

9. Motor cortex Located at back edge of the frontal lobe in front of the central fissure Responsible for processing voluntary movement for specific parts of the body - SOMATIC

10. Parietal Lobe Located behind the central fissure at top back part of brain Responsible for TOUCH such as processing temperature, pressure, pain on the skin

11. Sensory cortex Located on front edge of parietal lobe behind the central fissure Responsible for processing sensations for specific parts of the body - SOMATIC

12. Homunculus Created in the 1950’s Dr. Wilder Penfield - ESB Cartoon figure to explain the sensory cortex and motor cortex Brain surface area is proportionate to the frequency of behavior

15. Temporal Lobe Located in the brain below the lateral fissure Responsible for HEARING and MEMORY of objects

16. Wernicke’s Area: Dr. Carl Wernicke 1874 Part of the brain that allows you to be able to understand speech Located in the left temporal lobe

17. Occipital Lobe Located at the very back of brain Responsible for VISION by processing shapes, color, and motion
