3. FRONTAL LOBE In the front In charge of:  Reasoning  Planning  Problem solving  Basic movements  Responses to emotional situations

6. OCCIPITAL LOBE Behind Parietal and Temporal Lobes In charge of:  Visual  Color  Movement

7. CEREBELLUM Underneath Temporal and Occipital Lobes Controls: Balance Posture Memory storage

8. BRAIN STEM Connected to Spinal Cord Nerve signals:  Touch  Itch  Vibration  Pain In charge of:  Central nervous system  Heart  Respiratory system  Sleep cycle

9. DID YOU KNOW ? Mike the Headless Chicken survived 18 months after his head was cut off because his farmer wanted to eat him! He survived because his brain stem was still in tact!*  When you burn your hand a signal goes to your brain stem instead of your brain to save some cells! *Watch the video on the next slide to learn more about Mike

11. OPTICAL ILLUSIONS Look at the bar in the picture. It looks like at each end of the bar it’s a different color. Well that’s false! When you cover everything in the picture besides the bar you can tell the bar is only gray. It’s monochromatic. It happens because one side of the background is darker than the other, so your brain thinks the bar changes color too.* These lines don’t look parallel right. False again! Your brain looks at the short lines that make an impression of depth. The brain also bends the lines toward and away from each other. The brain also increases the angles between the lines. 1 * 1
