The Brain

3. A region in the temporal lobe responsible for language comprehension.
8. Located behind the frontal lobe, it processes sensory information, including touch, temperature, and pain.
9. Located at the back of the brain, it coordinates voluntary movements, posture, and balance.
10. A structure deep within the brain that acts as a relay station for sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex.
15. A set of brain structures, including the hippocampus and amygdala, that support a variety of functions, including emotion, motivation, and memory.
16. Located at the back of the brain, it is the primary visual processing center.
17. An endocrine gland located at the base of the brain that regulates many other endocrine glands and controls growth, metabolism, and sexual development.
18. The lowest part of the brain stem, responsible for vital involuntary functions such as breathing and blood pressure.
19. Part of the limbic system, involved in processing emotions, particularly fear and pleasure.

1. The largest lobe of the brain, located at the front, responsible for complex cognitive functions, such as planning, decision-making, and personality.
2. Located on the sides of the brain, it is involved in processing auditory information, memory, and language.
4. Part of the limbic system, crucial for the formation of new long-term memories.
5. A group of structures involved in the control of voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, and emotions.
6. A part of the brain stem that relays signals between the forebrain and cerebellum and is involved in sleep, breathing, and facial expressions.
7. A region in the basal ganglia that plays a central role in the brain's reward and pleasure circuit.
11. A small region of the brain that links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland and controls functions like body temperature, hunger, and thirst.
12. The most superior part of the brain stem, involved in movement, sensory processing, and arousal.
13. Connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic life functions like breathing, heart rate, and consciousness.
14. A region in the frontal lobe responsible for speech production.
