Brain Mind Map Example: How the Brain Is Organized
A brain mind map example shows how the brain divides into its main parts. The cerebrum is the largest region and holds four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Below it sit the cerebellum, which coordinates movement, and the brainstem, which controls breathing and heart rate. Mapping these parts side by side makes their roles easier to remember.
- Cerebrum: largest region, controls thought, sensation and voluntary movement
- Lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital, each with specific functions
- Cerebellum: coordinates balance, posture and fine motor control
- Brainstem: links the brain to the spinal cord and runs vital functions

Brain Mind Map Questions Answered
Common questions about brain anatomy and making your own map.
What are the four lobes of the cerebrum?
The four lobes are the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes. The frontal lobe handles planning and movement, the parietal lobe processes touch, the temporal lobe handles 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 or play an instrument.
Can I make a brain map from my own lecture notes?
Yes. Upload a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or text file, or type a topic, and CogniGuide turns it into an interactive mind map you can edit.
Can I turn a brain mind map into a quiz?
Yes. On CogniGuide you can turn any mind map into a quiz to test yourself, and make flashcards from the same notes.
