1.4 The Brain

• Which part of the brain controls higher cognitive functions such as reasoning and language?

  Cerebrum
• Neuroplasticity allows the brain to form new neural connections and strengthen existing ones.

  True
• The cerebellum coordinates motor movements and maintains balance
• The cerebrum includes the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala
• The hippocampus is a key structure of the cerebrum.


  True
• The cerebellum helps maintain balance through its cerebellar cortex.


  True
• Neuroplasticity allows the brain to form new neural connections.


  True
• What are the three main parts of the human brain?

  Cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem
• Match the brain structure with its function:

  Cerebrum ↔️ Controls higher cognitive functions

  Cerebellum ↔️ Coordinates motor movements

  Brainstem ↔️ Regulates basic life functions
• The human brain consists of three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
• The brainstem regulates basic life functions like breathing and heart rate.


  True
• The cerebellar cortex is a key structure of the cerebellum.


  True
• Match the brain part with its function:

  Cerebrum ↔️ Higher cognitive functions

  Cerebellum ↔️ Motor coordination

  Brainstem ↔️ Basic life functions
• The brainstem regulates breathing, heart rate, and sleep-wake cycles
• MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain's structure
• The brainstem regulates basic life functions like breathing, heart rate, and sleep-wake cycles
• What does the Central Nervous System (CNS) consist of?

  Brain and spinal cord
• The cerebrum controls higher cognitive functions such as memory and reasoning.


  True
• Match the brain part with its key structures:

  Cerebrum ↔️ Cerebral cortex

  Cerebellum ↔️ Cerebellar cortex

  Brainstem ↔️ Midbrain
• The brainstem includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata
• The cerebrum is responsible for higher-order cognitive abilities such as reasoning, language, and memory
• The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord
• Match the brain imaging technique with its description:

  fMRI ↔️ Measures blood oxygenation

  PET ↔️ Detects radioactive substances

  CT Scan ↔️ Uses X-rays
