Question

Which part of cerebrum converts short term memory into long term memory?
A)Neuron
B)Temporal lobe
C)Prefrontal cortex
D)Hippocampal lobe

Answer 1

Hint: Brain is the main and first controlling centre of the body, it instructs and guides all the body parts and thus, it must be shielded from any quite injury and shocks and thus is roofed in bony coverings.

Complete answer:
Brain consists of three parts:
Forebrain is the foremost part of the brain, and is the main thinking part and controls all actions done voluntarily by the body.
Mid brain - It's present between forebrain and hindbrain and cares with involuntary actions of the body.
Hindbrain – It's the last part of the brain which further continues to the medulla spinalis, it's three different regions called pons, medulla and cerebellum. It also controls involuntary actions like precision of selections, salivation, vomiting etc.
Spinal cord is present below the brain and extends to the backbone or spinal column (covering) cares with the control and regulation of the reflex actions.

Now let us find solution from given options :
Neuron : They are the cells of the human brain. They carry information from the external stimuli to the receptor and to the effector.
Temporal lobe : It helps in the sensation of hearing and processing of auditory information.
Prefrontal cortex : It helps to protect the eyes region.
Hippocampal lobe : This is a small part of the temporal lobe. It works in the association with amygdala and helps to convert short term into long term memory.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: Brain and spinal both are related to one another and present very on the brink of one another, covering of brain is cranium which of medulla spinal is is spinal column , which shouldn't be confused with one another .
