Parts of the Brain Quiz
Each round highlights one part of the brain on a rotating 3D model and asks you to name it from four choices. The parts span all the major divisions: the four lobes, the cortical regions inside them, the subcortical structures, the brainstem and the cerebellum.
Start below — the quiz opens on the first question. Wrong answers show the correct name immediately, so a missed part becomes the next thing you remember.
Which parts of the brain are in the quiz
The major divisions first: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, the cerebellum and the brainstem. Then the named regions inside them — motor and somatosensory cortex, Broca's and Wernicke's areas, the visual cortex — and the buried structures: hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, basal ganglia.
Every part is asked against plausible neighbours rather than random alternatives, because exams do the same: the postcentral gyrus is confused with the precentral, not with the cerebellum.
Learn the parts before testing them
If a highlighted part is unfamiliar, switch to Explore mode and click through the model freely — every part shows its name, function and connections. Test again once the shape and the name feel connected.
Common questions
What are the main parts of the brain?
Three broad divisions: the cerebrum (four lobes of cortex plus subcortical structures), the cerebellum, and the brainstem (midbrain, pons, medulla). Most named regions people study are parts of the cerebrum.
Is this parts of the brain quiz free?
Yes. Every question, the full 3D model and all quiz modes are free, with no login, no attempt limit and no paywall.
What are the four lobes of the brain?
Frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Broadly: planning and movement in front, touch and space on top, hearing and memory at the sides, vision at the back.
