Objectives Have fun Experience (learn) a little about the brain Gain new perspectives for program development Paradigm shifts (perception & beliefs) (private logic) Gain some new “props” for connecting Take away some fun

Just the Facts….. Male adult brain 49 oz. (about 3 lbs.) Female adult brain 44 oz. 78% water 10% fat 8% protein Live brain is grayish 100 billion neurons (brain cells) Each neuron can connect to as many as 10,000 others Lose brain cells daily through attrition, decay, and lack of use…don’t worry it would take hundreds of years to lose your mind! It’s not a computer, it’s more like an ecosystem

Hierarchy of the Brain Neocortex Limbic Brain Stem

Hierarchy of the Brain Abstract thought Concrete thought Affiliation “Attachment” Sexual Behavior Emotional Reactivity Motor Regulation “Arousal” Appetite Sleep Blood Pressure Heart Rate Body Temperature Neocortex Limbic Midbrain/Cerebellum Brainstem

Hierarchy of the Brain Neocortex Limbic Brain Stem

The Lobes Frontal(Judgment, Creativity, Problem Solving, & Planning) Occipital(Vision) Parietal(Processes higher sensory & language functions) Temporal(Hearing, memory, meaning, & language) (left & right) The Fifth… Limbic(Emotions, sleep, attention, body regulation, hormones, sexuality, smell, & neurochemical production)

Areas of the Brain Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Occipital Lobe Temporal Lobe Cerebellum Spinal Cord Brain Stem

Functions Vision (Occipital Lobe) Coordination (Cerebellum) Perception (Parietal Lobe) Sensation (Sensory Cortex) Movement (Motor Cortex) Executive Function (Frontal Lobe) Memory, Understanding, & Language (Temporal Lobe)

Speech and Recognition Broca’s Area Involved in the formation of sentences Wernike’s Area Involved in the comprehension of speech

Limbic Area Olfactory Bulb Amygdala Hippocampus Limbic Lobe

Neuron

Neurons and Synapses

An Organizing Principle for Cerebral Function Jeff Hawkins – Redwood Neuroscience Intstitute Vernon Mountcastle – John Hopkins University in Baltimore The neocortex is remarkably uniform in appearance and structure – he proposes that the cortex uses the same computational tool to accomplish everything it does.

Core Functions of the Brain Sense Process Store Perceive Act

Neocortical Memory Stores sequences of patterns (spatial & temporal) Recalls patterns auto-associatively Stores patterns in an invariant form Stores patterns in a hierarchy

Zeigarnik Effect We are hard-wired to solve problems. In fact, we love it! We keep searching for answers to unsolved problems. Concept – Bluma Zeigarnik
