8/26/2014 The brain is partitioned into four main lobes‚ which include; the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ the temporal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are situated on the front and the top area of the brain. There major functions include controlling

“Brain Lab” Questions: 1. Structure Function Frontal Lobe It contains centres for reasoning and movement. Parietal Lobe It is for somatic sensing and taste. Occipital Lobe It is responsible for processing visual information from the eyes. Temporal Lobe It is involved in primary auditory perception‚ such as hearing. Cerebrum (Cerebral Hemisphere) It is the largest part of the brain which is the last centre to receive sensory input and integrate them. It also coordinates the activities of the other

Mammalian Brain Dissection Purpose: The purpose of dissecting the sheep brain is to learn the structure of the brain. We must learn a brains structure to help us learn its functions‚ because they are very important and part of the Central Nervous System. We must learn the Central Nervous System to learn how it communicates between different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment because it is a California standard. Analysis Questions: 1.) What observable features

Effects of alcohol on brain functioning and neurotransmitters The consumption of alcohol can cause an effect on several parts of the brain including the hypothalamus‚ pituitary gland‚ medulla and the limbic system (How alcohol works 2008). Each sector responds differently to alcohol‚ causing changes in specific behaviors. Cerebral cortex The role of the cerebral cortex is to decipher information received from the senses‚ processing thought‚ speech‚ and memory and indicating the majority of

women are caused by brain structure differences and they have effects on development of medicine. The research shows the brains of men and women have similarities and differences. This research also has implications for the development of medicine in the future. There are many similarities and differences between the brains of men and women. First‚ they have similarities in brain functions. For example‚ parts of the frontal lobe deal with decision-making and problem-solving functions. Hippocampus is

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
