The means by which the brain performs are referred to as neuroprocesses‚ which are related to learning and memory. The brain is the center of every function of the body that controls functional learning and memory and how the two are interdependent. Learning occurs when the memory is stimulated. The memory is activated once learning has taken place. With knowledge at the center of attention‚ it is imperative to stimulate the brain through lifelong learning to achieve longevity and quality of life

THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Every behavior begins with biology. Our behaviors‚ as well as our thoughts and feelings‚ are produced by the actions of our brains‚ nerves‚ muscles‚ and glands. In this chapter we will begin our journey into the world of psychology by considering the biological makeup of the human being‚ including the most remarkable of human organs—the brain. We’ll consider the structure of the brain and also the methods that psychologists use to study the brain and to understand how it

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

The Brain / Psy 240 / Week Two The human brain is one of the most complex and fascinating parts of the body. The major regions of the brain are separated into three layers called the central core‚ the limbic system‚ and the cerebral hemispheres or otherwise called the forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and hindbrain. The forebrain houses the cerebrum‚ thalamus‚ and hypothalamus. The midbrain houses tectum and tegmentum. The hindbrain houses the cerebellum‚ pons‚ and medulla. From here the brain is divided
