Upload anatomy material
Add a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint or image of your brain diagram and let the AI extract the structures.
Expand any region
Open a lobe or structure with AI to add subregions, functions and clinical examples.
Quiz yourself
Turn the finished map into a quiz that tests where each structure sits and what it does.
How to Make Your Brain Map
Three steps from anatomy notes to a map you can study and quiz.

Upload your lecture slides or chapter, or type brain anatomy as the topic.
- 2
AI builds the map
The brain splits into cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem, with lobes and regions as branches.

Study, expand and quiz
Expand regions, edit labels, export as PNG or PDF, and test recall with a quiz.
Brain Mind Map Structure and Functions
A brain mind map organizes the brain into its main divisions: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. The cerebrum holds four lobes, frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital, each linked to specific functions such as movement, touch, hearing and vision. The map then branches into deeper structures like the thalamus, hippocampus and basal ganglia.
- Cerebrum: four lobes and the cerebral cortex
- Cerebellum: coordination, balance and fine motor control
- Brainstem: breathing, heart rate and sleep cycles
- Limbic system: emotion, memory and the hippocampus
- Deep structures: thalamus, hypothalamus and basal ganglia
Use the map to revise regions and their functions before an exam. Generate a personalized brain map with CogniGuide from your own notes to match your course.

Brain Mind Map Questions
Answers about brain structure and making your own map.
What are the four 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, 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, and it contains more neurons than the rest of the brain combined.
Which file types can I use to make a brain map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type brain anatomy as a topic.
Can I turn my brain map into a quiz?
Yes. CogniGuide can turn a finished map into a quiz to test your recall of each region. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
