Test Review In your groups, compare results to determine why you missed the questions that you missed. Look for patterns in your performance. Do you: study specifics too much? too little? are there areas of the content that you did not review enough or that you find more challenging to master? do you have a difficult time with negative construction stems? do you talk yourself out of the best answer?

Review HW, pgs 64-68 Explain the following vocab terms: Brainstem Thalamus Cerebellum

The Limbic System Identify the functions of the limbic system in the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLVXOWlWCMo Reward Center Start at: 2:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de_b7k9kQp0 An Addiction to Food? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hay7TD-xNRQ

How important is the brain? Mike the headless chicken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqDjRCHyjTY Was this just reflex or was this an aberration? Brain stem must have still been there to keep him alive. Trachea could help him breathe? How did he move?

Review HW Explain the four lobes that are in each brain hemisphere What do they do? What is the motor cortex? How is this possible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjfrqbItrx8 What are association areas and why are they important? Explain the four lobes that are in each brain hemisphere What do they do? Frontal: just behind the forehead, speaking, muscle movements,, and making plans and judgments Parietal: top of head and toward the rear, receives sensory input for touch and body position Occipital: Back of the head. Receives info from visual fields Temporal: above the ears. Auditory areas. What is the motor cortex? Read of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements. Sends messages out to the body How is this possible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjfrqbItrx8 No sensory receptors What are association areas and why are they important? Not involved in primary or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.

The Cerebral Cortex

Association Areas More intelligent animals have increased “uncommitted” or association areas of the cortex

Language Aphasia is an impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca’s area (impaired speaking) or to Wernicke’s area (impaired understanding). OBJECTIVE 17| Describe the five brain areas that would be involved if you read this sentence aloud.
