    Corpus Callosum Essay

    The command center of the human nervous system is the brain. The sensory organs send information to the brain, which then sends output to the muscles. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum. Underneath the cerebrum lies the brainstem, and behind that sits the cerebellum. The outmost layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, which has four lobes. There is a frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The brain develops from three sections known as the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. There are two hemispheres, the left and the right. These two hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum.…

    Brain Boundaries: The Three Major Brain Functions

    There are three major brain divisions. They are the cerebrum, the brainstem, and the cerebellum. The cerebrum contains 40% of the weight of the brain and is founded in the superior part of the brain. This portion of the brain has many functions and lobes which perform certain functions. The frontal lobe is involved with “activating and controlling both fine and complex motor activities.” This involves speech. It is also involved with the executive functions, such as reasoning and rationalizing, among others. The occipital lobe is concerned with vision and processing the information received from the eyes. According to the reading, the “key functions of the parietal lobes include perceiving and integrating sensory and perceptual information,…
