1 psychlotron.org.uk Put these functions in the order in which you think they evolved Conditioning Homeostasis Problem solving Breathing Fight or flight Visual perception

2 psychlotron.org.uk Today you will… Learn about Gross brain anatomy Localisation of cortical function Learn how to Describe neuroanatomy Explain the link between brain and behaviour Discuss the impacts of brain damage

3 psychlotron.org.uk Homeostasis Conditioning Breathing Problem solving Visual perception Fight/flight What do you notice about the location of these functions in relation to their evolutionary history? Front

4 psychlotron.org.uk Evolution of the brain Brainstem – Basic life functions (eg breathing, heart) Cerebellum – Basic motor control, balance and some simple learning Cerebrum – Higher functions (emotion, complex perception, thinking)

5 psychlotron.org.uk Homeostasis Conditioning Breathing Problem solving Visual perception Fight/flight

6 psychlotron.org.uk Brainstem Cerebellum Cerebrum

7 psychlotron.org.uk Localisation of cortical function Brain function is localised. Different brain areas control different functions. In general, brain function is cross-lateralised. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Some functions are lateralised. They are concentrated on one side of the brain.

8 psychlotron.org.uk Temporal Lobe Occipital Lobe Parietal Lobe Frontal Lobe

9 psychlotron.org.uk Occipital Lobe Wernicke’s area

10 psychlotron.org.uk What do you think is the best way of learning this material?

11 psychlotron.org.uk Homework Find research studies which: 1.Investigate the role of the cerebellum 2.Investigate differences between Broca’s & Wernicke’s areas of the brain in the processing of language For each study, make a clear set of your own notes outlining aim, method, results, conclusions.

12 psychlotron.org.uk Homework Make sure you have a clear set of notes matching specific brain regions with functions Learn them
