Final Jeopardy

2. 1 - $100
The brain’s sensory switchboard, located at the top of the brainstem
What is the thalamus?

3. 1 - $200
A ring of structures at the border of the brainstem and cerebral cortex. It includes the hypothalamus, hippocampus and amygdala.
What is the Limbic System?

4. 1 - $300
An almond shaped neural cluster at the end of the hippocampus that controls emotion
What is an amygdala?

5. 1 - $400
Wraps around the back of the thalamus and helps to process new memories.
What is the hippocampus?

6. 1 - $500
This neural structure regulates many of the body’s maintenance activities such as eating, drinking, sexual arousal, and body temperature.
What is the hypothalamus?

7. 2 - $100
Portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head. It includes primary vision functions.
What is the occipital lobe?

8. 2 - $200
Portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead involved in planning, voluntary movements and judgment.
What is the frontal lobe?

9. 2 - $300
Portion of the cerebral cortex roughly above the ears. It includes the auditory areas of the brain.
What is the temporal lobe?

10. 2 - $400
Portion of the cortex lying at the top of the head and toward the rear. Includes much of the association areas.
What is the parietal lobe?

11. 2 - $500
The large brand of neural tissues that connects the right and left lobes (hemispheres) and allows communication between the two sides.
What is the corpus callosum?

12. 3 - $100 The oldest part of the brain. It begins at the spinal cord.
What is the brainstem?

13. 3 - $200
Often called the “little brain” attached to the rear of the brainstem. Helps to coordinate voluntary movements.
What is the cerebellum?

14. 3 - $300
Intricate fabric of interconnect neural networks, that if ironed out would be about the same size as a 11 x 17 1/8th inch thick sheet of crumpled up paper.
What is the cerebral cortex?

15. 3 - $400
Strip of brain tissue area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements
What is the motor cortex?

16. 3 - $500
Strip of brain tissue at the front of the parietal lobes that registers body sensations
What is the sensory (somatosensory) cortex?

17. 4 - $100
Damage to this area on the brainstem would be life threatening
What is the medulla?

18. 4 - $200
A person who has a head injury and now has emotional outbursts and problems remembering things most probably has damage to this area.
What is the limbic system?

19. 4 - $300
Deciding to get a good night sleep instead of going to a Seattle rave with your friends on the eve of your SAT test probably involves this area of the brain.
What is the frontal lobe?

20. 4 - $400
I can still move my legs and feet but do not walk smoothly. This probably involves damage to this part of my brain.
What is the cerebellum?

21. 4 - $500 Language is located in this side of the brain.
What is the left hemisphere of the brain?

22. 5 - $100
As you look at a picture, the visual image of that picture passes through this brain structure before being sent to the occipital cortex.
What is the thalamus?

23. 5 - $200
Which part of the brain is responsible for basic thoughts and behaviors?
Lower level
Limbic system
Cerebral Cortex
What is the lower level?

24. 5 - $300
Which part of the brain is responsible for higher level thinking?
Lower level
Limbic system
Cerebral Cortex
What is the cerebral cortex?

25. 5 - $400 This hemisphere usually controls spatial reasoning
What is the right hemisphere?

26. 5 - $500
To study the two hemispheres of the brain people look for patients who have had this cut.
What is the corpus callosum?

27. Final Jeopardy
Ms. Doyle hears the word “Bae” in class and uses it that evening, at a work event, to refer to her husband. The people standing around her look at her weird. Mrs. Doyle gets angry at her friends who are not cool and leaves the group to get a drink of water. Name 3 brain structures/regions involved in this scenario and how they are used.
Temporal lobe-hearing
Hippocampus-memory
Amygdala/ Limbic – Angry
Motor Cortex/Cerebellum – leaves
Hypothalamus - thirsty
