The Five Major Structures of the Brain The brain is an amazing structure. It is the most complex and interesting part of the human body. It is like a huge computer that runs every function of the body. The brain is made up of the five major structures that include: the myelencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ deicephalon‚ and the telencephalon. Each of these structures also has substructures involved within them. You start learning how to do things when you are born and keep learning as

In a way it’s the world’s most powerful computer because it can process tasks at lightning speeds and simultaneously be in control of our reflexes and every other voluntary and involuntary functions. It is the most important and complex organ as well as our core for learning At the point of birth‚ the brain weighs an average of 350 to 400

Brain-Based Learning: The Neurological Findings About the Human Brain that Every Teacher Should Know to be Effective Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the main neurological findings about the human brain that provide the basis for brain-based learning‚ and that represent a narrow field of cognitive science as a whole. The findings that are described were made primarily by neuroscientists who studied the structure and functions of the nervous system with the purpose of correcting

Brain-based Learning Definition This learning theory is based on the structure and function of the brain. As long as the brain is not prohibited from fulfilling its normal processes‚ learning will occur. Discussion People often say that everyone can learn. Yet the reality is that everyone does learn. Every person is born with a brain that functions as an immensely powerful processor. Traditional schooling‚ however‚ often inhibits learning by discouraging‚ ignoring‚ or punishing the brain’s

The human brain is unique. It is part of your central nervous system which contains billions or nerve cells and trillions of support cells. The brain is the central computer that controls all bodily functions; the nervous system relays messages from the brain to different parts of the body. It gives us the power to think‚ plan‚ speak‚ and imagine. It controls body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ heart rate‚ and breathing. The brain also accepts information about the world around you from your

The Brain and Behavior David Richard Monge Jr. BEH 225 February 9‚ 2014 The temporal lobe is a region of the cerebral cortex that is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobes are involved in the retention of visual memories‚ processing sensory input‚ comprehending language‚ storing new memories‚ emotion‚ and deriving meaning. The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of mammals‚ located at the front of each cerebral
