Presentation transcript:

  Consists of the brain stem  pathway for all nerves entering and leaving the brain  The Pons-- involved with sleep and alertness; connects brain and spinal cord  The Medulla is the basic life support system. It directs our breathing, heart beating, and blood pressure  The Cerebellum is involved with our balance and coordination 2 The Hindbrain (rear base of skull).

Hindbrain

2. Cerebellum 1. Spinal cord 7. Pons 3. Corpus callosum 8. Medulla

  The Reticular Activating System  relay area for information moving to other areas of the brain.  important for attention, sleep, and arousal. 5 The Midbrain (above the pons

Midbrain

7 The Forebrain (covers brain’s central core)  THE THALAMUS  the main relay and switching area for the senses  THE HYPOTHALAMUS  concerned with bodily functions such as hunger, thirst, temperature, and sexual behavior.  also involved with the fight or flight response to stress  THE LIMBIC SYSTEM  It is involved with strong emotions ( AMYGDALA)  Memory ( hippocampus)  THE CEREBRAL CORTEX  protects the midbrain and the lower brain structures.  Ability to learn and store complex info. and to think into the future

Forebrain

6. Hypothalamus 5. Thalamus 4. Cerebral Cortex

The Cerebrum  Part of the forebrain  Inside layer under cerebral cortex  Two sides called hemispheres  Control movement on opposite side of the body  Left—speech, math, ability, and logic  Right—vision, creative ability, intuition, and spatial relationship  Hemispheres communicate through fibers called the corpus callosum

12 The Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex  The Frontal lobe is involved with rational thought, planning, and organization  The Parietal lobe is involved with body sensations, touch, pain, and temperature and the location of body positions.  The Occipital lobe is involved with vision.  The Temporal lobe is the main processor for hearing, memory, emotion, and speaking  Each hemisphere consists of the four lobes..

Parietal lobe Occipital lobe Frontal lobe Temporal lobe

16 Ways to Study The Brain  Accidents  Broca’s Area  Phineas Gage  Lesioning the brain  EEG  Brain Imaging  CAT, MRI, and PET scans  Electrical Stimulation  Jose Delgado’s Studies  James Old’s studies
