Add your material
Upload your notes or slides, or type the topic 'brain function' to start.
- 2
AI builds the map
The AI groups brain regions by lobe, pathway and function as branches.

Study and test
Expand branches, edit labels, then export or turn the map into a quiz.
Brain Function Concept Map: Structure and Roles
A brain function mind map organizes how the brain's parts divide its work. The cerebrum is split into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Each lobe handles different jobs, such as planning and movement in the frontal lobe or vision in the occipital lobe. Below the cortex sit structures like the cerebellum, thalamus and brainstem, which support balance, sensory relay and basic life functions.
- Cerebral lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital regions
- Subcortical structures: thalamus, hippocampus and basal ganglia
- Cerebellum: coordination, balance and fine motor control
- Brainstem: breathing, heart rate and sleep-wake cycles
Use this structure to review one region at a time, then link each function to its location. Create your own version with CogniGuide from your course notes.

Brain Function Mind Map Questions
Answers on brain regions and how to build your own map.
What are the four main lobes of the brain?
The four lobes of the cerebrum are the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes. The frontal lobe handles planning and movement, the parietal lobe processes touch and spatial information, the temporal lobe supports hearing and memory, and the occipital lobe processes vision.
What does the cerebellum do?
The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movement, balance and posture. It also helps with motor learning, such as learning to ride a bike, and it contributes to some cognitive timing tasks.
Which file types can I upload to build my map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image. You can also type a topic instead of uploading a file.
Can I turn my brain map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test which region controls which function. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed.
