Chapter 6 Perdev

The document discusses how the brain works through three paragraphs. It describes that the hemispheres are involved in different intellectual and emotional functions, with the left being logical and right being creative/emotional. It then outlines the main structures of the brain and their functions, such as the frontal lobe controlling movement, temporal lobe processing auditory input, and parietal lobe processing touch. Finally, it discusses deeper brain structures like the medulla regulating heartbeat, pons regulating sleep, and limbic system regulating emotion.

A VOYAGE

THROUGH THE
BRAIN: By: ENTB, RPm

WIDER THAN THE


SKY
The Brain--- is wider than the Sky—
For– put them side by side
The one the other will contain
With ease--- and you--- beside

- Emily Dickinson
THE CASE OF PHINEAS GAGE
HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK?
 The hemispheres of the brain are involved in dif ferent kinds of
intellectual and emotional functions and responses.
 Lef t brained- logical and intellectual
 Right brained- intuitive, creative and emotional
HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK?

--- primary motor area is located, control -- primary somatosensory area


voluntary movement in a contralateral (sensory signals such as touch,
manner left controls right and vice versa) pressure and pain)

-- primary visual area


that processes visual
sensations

-- primary auditory
area
 Frontal lobe- primary motor area is located, control voluntary
movement in a contralateral manner lef t controls right and
vice versa)
 Temporal lobe- primary auditory area
 Parietal lobe- primary somatosensory area (sensory signals
such as touch pressure, pain)
 Ocippital lobe- primary visual area, receives signals from
thalamus and processes visual sensations
HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK?

--- Involved in the regulation


of body temperature,
motivation and emotion.
-- relay center

--- Involved in the regulation


of heartbeat and respiration

--- Involved in respiration,


attention, sleep and dreaming Limbic System
 Cerebrum- consist of the two hemispheres
 Cerebral cortex- wrinkles surface of the cerebrum
 Medulla- involved in the regulation of heartbeat and
respiration
 Pons- respiration, attention, sleep and dreaming
 Cerebellum- muscle coordination and balance
 Reticular Activating System - attention, arousal and sleep
 Thalamus- relay center
 Limbic System- includes hypothalamus, amygdala and
hippocampus
 Hypothalamus- regulation of body temperature, concentration
of fluids, storage of nutrients, motivation and emotion
 Amygdala- aggressive responses
