Basics of Brain Structure The frontal lobes are the last part of the brain to grow to full size, with full maturity occurring late into adolescence. The primary motor cortex called the M1, an area associated with planning, executing, and refining motor movements, is located in the posterior area of the frontal lobes.

Basics of Brain Structure The Temporal Lobes. The anterior or front part of the temporal lobes are bounded by the frontal lobe to one side, and the brain stem to the other. The upper part of the brain stem called the pons actually connects and extends from the temporal lobes. To the rear of the temporal lobes are the parietal and occipital lobes.

- Find the nasal pits at the anterior end of the brain. The olfactory nerves leave these structures and connect to the most anterior lobes of the brain, the olfactory lobes (A). Just posterior to the olfactory lobes are two elongate bodies with rounded bases, this is the cerebrum (B), and it is the frog s thinking center.The cerebrum is the part of the brain that helps the frog respond to its environment. Posterior to the cerebrum are the optic lobes (C), which function in vision.The ridge just behind the optic lobes is the cerebellum (D), it is used to coordinate the frog s muscles and maintain balance. Posterior to the cerebellum is the medulla oblongata (E) which connects the brain to the spinal cord (F).tudy and Removal of the Frog s Brain. Turn the frog dorsal side up. Cut away the skin and flesh on the head from the nose to the base of the skull. With a scalpel, scrape the top of the skull until the bone is thin and flexible. Be sure to scrape AWAY from you.

Brain structure Forebrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebral cortex, the basal ganglia, the limbic system, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain and is just a few millimetres thick. It is involved in memory, attention, language, thinking, and voluntary movement.

Master Gland in Human Body .? Pituitary Gland. The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is about the size of a pea and sits in the small, bony cavity (sella turcica) at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is divided into two sections: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). The posterior pituitary is, in effect, a projection of the hypothalamus.

The Cerebellum The posterior lobe, or neocerebellum, is the newest part of the cerebellum. It is involved in the coordination of muscle movement via the inhibition of involuntary movement. Inhibitory neurotransmitters, especially GABA, are found here. This lobe plays an important role in fine motor coordination.
