🧠 Brain Regions and Their Functions (Key Information)
Here’s a breakdown of the brain areas and their associated functions based on neuroscience:
|
Function |
Color |
Corresponding Brain Area |
|-------------|----------|-------------------------------|
| Emotions, Behavior, Memory | Pink |
Limbic System (especially Hippocampus & Amygdala) |
| Movement | Yellow |
Motor Cortex (in the frontal lobe) |
| Speech | Blue |
Broca’s Area (frontal lobe),
Wernicke’s Area (temporal lobe) |
| Hearing | Green |
Auditory Cortex (in the temporal lobe) |
| Touch | Red |
Somatosensory Cortex (in the parietal lobe) |
| Vision | Purple |
Visual Cortex (in the occipital lobe) |
| Breathing, Heartbeat, Swallowing | Gray |
Brainstem (Medulla Oblongata) |
| Balance, Coordination | Orange |
Cerebellum (located below the cerebrum) |

✔ How to Complete the Worksheet
#### Step 1: Color the Brain Diagram
Use the color key to fill in the appropriate regions:
-
Pink (Emotions/Behavior/Memory) → Limbic system (center of brain, near the middle)
-
Yellow (Movement) → Frontal lobe (top front part)
-
Blue (Speech) → Left frontal and temporal lobes (usually left hemisphere)
-
Green (Hearing) → Temporal lobe (side of brain)
-
Red (Touch) → Parietal lobe (behind the frontal lobe)
-
Purple (Vision) → Occipital lobe (back of the brain)
-
Gray (Breathing/Heartbeat/Swallowing) → Brainstem (bottom stem-like part)
-
Orange (Balance/Coordination) → Cerebellum (under the back of the brain)
> ⚠️ Note: The diagram is simplified, so approximate locations should be used.
#### Step 2: Write Sentences (Example Answers)
In the box below the brain, write a few sentences like these:
> "The brain controls many important functions. The
cerebellum, colored orange, helps with balance and coordination. The
occipital lobe, colored purple, processes vision. The
motor cortex, colored yellow, controls voluntary movements. The
brainstem, in gray, manages basic life functions like breathing and heartbeat. The
limbic system, in pink, is involved in emotions and memory."
