1. Neural Networks fact or fiction? crash course: brain
interconnected neurons
regular connections or routes of communication for different tasks, processes, etc.
body/brain “learns” networks over time
“muscle memory” in sports (“practice makes permanent”)
answer

2. Ways to Study the Brain Case Studies / Clinical Observation
Accidents (i.e. – Phinneas Gage)
Diseases / Disorders

3. Invasive Exploration
Lesion - a natural or man-made destruction of brain tissue
Electrical Probing
Psychosurgery

4. Less Invasive Methods Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT Scan / CT Scan)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Functional MRI (fMRI)

10. The Brain Pinky & the Brain
made up of…
neurons
glial cells (or glia - support neural cells by insulating them, removing waste, etc.)
connective tissues
cerebrospinal fluid
can be divided into three major sections: hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain
