Introduction to Psychology and Role of BiologyMini Brain ProjectDirections: Conduct research on a selected brain area or structure. Areas and structures available for research include: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, medulla, pons, cerebellum, reticular formation, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, cerebrum, hippocampus, amygdala, corpus callosum, Broca’s area, OR Wernicke’s area. Conduct research using scholarly Internet sources, library sources, and the textbook. Where is the area or structure located?

The frontal lobes are located directly behind the forehead.

The parietal lobes are located near the back and top of the head.

The temporal lobes sit behind the ears.

The occipital lobe is the smallest of the four lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. It is present posterior to the parietal and temporal lobes.

The pons is in the brainstem situated between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata, and in front of the cerebellum. A separating groove between the pons and the medulla is the inferior pontine sulcus.

The cerebellum is a structure that is located at the back of the brain, underlying the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex.

The reticular formation is found in the brainstem, at the center of an area of the brainstem.

The thalamus is a paired gray matter structure of the diencephalon located near the center of the brain.

The hypothalamus is located on the undersurface of the brain.

You can find the structures of the limbic system buried deep within the brain, underneath the cerebral cortex, and above the brainstem.

The cerebrum is located within the bony cranium. It extends from the frontal bone anteriorly to the occipital bone posteriorly.

Hippocampus is a complex brain structure embedded deep into temporal lobe.

The amygdala is located in the medial temporal lobe

Corpus callosum s located in the white matter of the cerebrum and is around 10cm long at the midline.
