1. The Human Brain

2. The cerebrum
Has 4 lobes
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
temporal

3. The frontal lobe Planning Speech Smell
The frontal lobe is responsible for many things the brain does
Location: The front top part of the cerebrum.
Body movement
Concentration
Planning
Problem solving
Speech
Smell
Personality

4. The parietal lobe Location: top center “head phones” area
Touch
Taste
Body awareness

5. The occipital lobe Location: the back of the cerebrum
Sight

6. The temporal lobe Location: under the ears, lower lobes
Sound
Long term memory
Face recognition

7. Cerebellum Location: lowest two lobes in back, un-cracked almond shape
Fine motor (small hand movements)
Balance and coordination

8. Thalamus Location: inside the center of the limbic lobe (between the two halves of the cerebrum)
The thalamus is
The operator/switchboard of our brain. 
Processes sensory information that comes into our bodies (sight, hearing, touch and taste) goes to our Thalamus first and the Thalamus sends the information to the right parts of our brain to get processed (except for smell).
- Also involved in consciousness and sleep.

10. Hippocampus Location: bottom of limbic system, right by the top of the brain stem
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, (the region that regulates emotions)
Helps move things into long-term memory
(school librarian, helps you to find information in your brain)
Plays an important role in spatial navigation

11. Hypothalamus – Location right under the thalamus, in the limbic system
hypothalamus is a section of the brain responsible for hormone production.
The hormones produced by this area of the brain govern
Body temperature
Thirst
Hunger
Sleep
Moods
The release of other hormones in the body

12. Corpus Callosum- Location: between the left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum
Helps to connect the left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum.

13. Pituitary Gland
Creates hormones for sugar regulation, growth, the onset of puberty.

14. Brain stem Consists of the:
Midbrain (see next slide, top of brainstem)
pons which connects the cerebrum and the cerebellum. See BLUE part.
Medulla oblongata – lowest section of brain stem that controls automatic functions (heartbeat and breathing)

15. Brainstem (Midbrain) – Location: very top part of the brainstem, pink on pict
Coordinates information from your 5 senses and making small motions in response to that information.
Helps control waking up, if removed we would be in a coma and never wake up!

16. Spinal Cord Location: runs from bottom of brainstem through back
It sends messages between different parts of the body and the brain.

17. Limbic System Location: in the center of the brain between the two hemispheres of the cerebrum
emotional control center –
when we feel raw
Emotions (fear, anger)
Consists of 4 main parts:
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Hippocampus
Amygdala
(also the pituitary gland)

18. Amygdala Somewhat involved with memory.
Handles basic emotions like fear, anger, and jealousy.

19. The neuron – 2 minute video
Two main areas of the nervous system (central nervous system and peripheral nervous system)
