Angular Gyrus
Give this one a try later!
Somatosensory are of the parietal lobe, important in language function,
number processing, spatial recognition, memory retrieval, and attention.

Transverse Temporal Gyrus
Give this one a try later!
, Also known as Heschel's Gyrus, is located in the primary auditory cortex as
the first cortical structure to receive/ process most of the incoming
auditory information.

3 things about Wernicke’s area
Give this one a try later!
1. Superior temporal gyrus of dominant hemisphere
2. Broadmann area 22
3. Wernicke's (receptive) aphasia

Posterior fossa
Give this one a try later!
Includes the brainstem, cerebellum, and 4th ventricle, separated from
cerebral hemispheres by the tentorium.
It is the most common location for pediatric tumors (>60%) and can cause
seizure activity.
Tumors in this area include Medulloblastomas (aka primitive
neuroectodermal tumors), cerebellar astrocytomas, brainstem gliomas and
ependymomas.
