  11. Time’s up! Put Bell Ringer in Folder • Today’s Agenda: • Cerebral (Brain) Hemispheres Cornell Notes

  12. Cornell Notes Topic/Title: Cerebral (Brain) Hemispheres

  13. Cerebral Hemispheres • Cerebral = brain • Right and Left hemisphere (halves) • Each hemisphere appears to be specialized for some behaviors. • Left: language, math, logic, and organization • Right: face recognition, visual images, music, and creativity Left Right

  14. Left vs. Right Hemispheres • The right side of the brain controls muscles on the left side of the body • The left side of the brain controls muscles on the right side of the body. • Therefore, damage to one side of the brain will affect the opposite side of the body.

  15. Corpus callosum • Thick band of fibers that connects the two hemispheres • This structure is how the hemispheres communicate with each other

  16. Mrs. Thompson had a stroke in one hemisphere of her brain. After the stroke, the left side of her face was droopy, she had trouble speaking and had a limp in her left leg. Which hemisphere did the stroke occur?

  17. Answer: • The stroke occurred in the right cerebral hemisphere. • We know this because the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the body and it was her left side that was damaged

  18. Tim was riding his bike when a car failed to obey a stop sign and hit him. This accident resulted in brain damage. One of the consequences was that Tim had a hard time recognizing people’s faces, even if he had known someone a long time. Which hemisphere did Tim have brain damage?

  19. Answer: • The stroke occurred in the right cerebral hemisphere. • The right cerebral hemisphere is known to be responsible for face recognition, music, creativity and visual images.
