“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

Twenty Parts of the Brain and Their Functions 1. Pons A structure of the brain stem that is involved in sleeping‚ waking‚ and dreaming. 2. Medulla A structure of the brain stem that is responsible for automatic bodily functions‚ such as breathing and heart rate. 3. Reticular Activating System The RAS screens incoming information and arouses the cortex when something happens that requires their attention. 4. Cerebellum The cerebellum functions as a "lesser brain" It contributes

“The Last Hippie” is a short chapter from Oliver Sacks’ An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales. The chapter is centered around Greg‚ one of Dr. Sacks’ patients‚ and how his troubling teenager years subsequently led to him become an amnesiac who‚ “seemed bland‚ placid‚ and emptied of all feeling‚” (Sacks‚ 1996‚ p.46). Although Greg’s story was very interesting to read‚ I did find it relatively difficult to follow along‚ and encountered many challenges while reading the chapter. All of

frontal lobe processes (Stuss‚ Alexander‚ Shallice‚ Picton‚ Binns‚ Macdonald‚ Borowiec & Douglas‚ 2005). Stuss et al (2005) showed that lesions in the superior medial frontal lobes were associated with slow reaction times and with failure to decrease reaction time after a warning signal. Furthermore‚ lesions in the right lateral frontal lobe prevented the decrease in reaction time with increasing FP that was seen in healthy subjects and in patients with lesions elsewhere in the frontal lobes.

Opening Notes: * Interest and research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate

Chapter 2 Brain and Behavior The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that covers the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be any smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left halves of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing
