8. How do Drugs Affect Brain/Neurons?

9. Brain Hypothalamus Thalamus Pons Medulla Midbrain Cerebellum Cerebral Cortex Diencephalon Brain Stem

10. Brain Corpus callosum Limbic System? Emotions, Drives, Mood Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus

12. Brain Corpus callosum Limbic System? Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus Amygdala – “almond-shaped” regions (2) in the temporal lobes – memory, decision making, emotions Hippocampus- “sea-horse-shaped” regions (2) in temporal lobe – long-term and short-term memory, spatial ability and memory One of first areas of brain to degrade from Alzheimer’s

14. Parietal Lobe Perception, spelling, numbers, visuospatial processing, object classification Sensory cortex

15. Temporal Lobe Memory, language, hearing, speech, emotion (limbic), face recognition Visual input/processing – object recognition, interpreting visual stimuli

16. Occipital Lobe Vision, color processing/ID, visual processing

17. Frontal Lobe “Thinking”, problem solving, emotions, behavior, decision making, motor cortex

25. Brain What does a small cerebral cortex mean? Brain size?

28. Does Size REALLY Matter? EQ = How much the observed size of the brain expected based on body mass Makes sense. Capuchin monkeys higher EQ than gorillas But gorillas outperform them on cognitive test

29. Does Size REALLY Matter? Shouldn’t a larger brain be ‘smarter’?
