A Taste of Colored Water Review
BRAIN STRUCTURES, ETYMOLOGY and FUNCTIONS
STRUCTURE
|ETYMOLOGY|FUNCTION|
Prefrontal Cortex
(or Frontal Lobe) |Frontal-1650s, of the forehead; From Modern Latin frontalis, from front-, stem of frons "brow, forehead."
Lobe-Early 15c., "a lobe of the liver or lungs," from Middle French lobe and directly from Medieval Latin lobus, from Late Latin lobus "hull, husk, pod."|The gray matter of the anterior part of the frontal lobe that plays a role in the regulation of complex cognitive, emotional, FFand behavioral functioning.|
Temporal Lobe
|Mid-14c., "worldly, secular," later "of time, terrestrial, earthly."|The lower lateral lobe of either cerebral hemisphere, located in front of the occipital lobe and containing the sensory center of hearing in the brain.|
Occipital Lobe |1540s, from Middle French occipital, from Medieval Latin occipitalis, from Latin occiput (genitive occipitis) "back of the skull," from ob "against, behind."|The occipital lobes are positioned at the back region of the cerebral cortex and are the main centers for visual processing.|
Parietal Lobe |Early 15c., "pertaining to the walls of a cavity in the body," from Late Latin parietalis "of walls," from Latin paries (genitive parietis) "wall" (of a building), of unknown origin.|Complex sensory information from the body is processed in the parietal lobe, which also controls the ability to understand language.|
Limbic Region|1879, from French limbique (1878, Broca), from limbe, from Latin limbus "edge."| The limbic system is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain structures located on top of the brainstem and buried under the cortex. Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. Such emotions include fear, anger, and emotions related to sexual behavior.|
Cerebellum| 1560s, from Latin cerebellum "a small brain," diminutive of cerebrum "brain."| A large projecting part of the brain concerned
