HARVARD UNIVERSITY (SCORE A)
Synapse
A junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, allows for
passing of communication fro, nueron to neuron
Functions of the Parietal Lobe
Sense of touch; differentiation of size, color, and shape; visual perception; spatial
perception
Functions of the Occipital Lobe
Visual functions
Functions of the Frontal Lobe
Planning; organizing; problem solving; working memory; impulse control; decision
making; personality; behavior; initiation; anticipation; self-monitoring; motor planning;
emotions; awareness of abilities; attention; concentration; mental flexibility; speaking -
all executive functions
,Functions of the Temporal Lobe
Hearing functions, memory, understanding language, organization and sequencing
Functions of the Brain Stem
Breathing, HR, arousal, consciousness, sleep/wake functions, attention, concentration
Transmits all sensory information from body to brain and movement signals from the
brain to the body
Contains sensory centers for hearing, touch, taste, and balance
Even if the cerebral cortex is gravelly damaged, the brain stem can keep someone
alive - or in a vegetative state
Functions of the Cerebellum
Balance, coordination, skilled motor activity
Reticular Activating System (RAS)
Part of the brain stem - collection of nerve fibers that modulate changed in arousal,
alertness, concentration, and biological rhythms
