Definitions to put in your “Definitions” section of your binder Hindbrain: a part of the brain located at the rear base of the skull that is involved in the basic processes of life Midbrain: a small part of the brain above the pons that arouses the brain, integrates sensory information, and relays it upward
Definitions to put in your “Definitions” section of your binder Forebrain: a part of the brain that covers the brain’s central core, responsible for sensory and motor control and the processing of thinking and language. Lobes: the different regions into which the cerebral cortex is divided.
Parts of the Brain to Know (the three brains) Hindbrain -cerebellum… -medulla… -pons… Midbrain -stimulates the brain and relays info
Parts of the Brain to Know (the three brains) Forebrain -thalamus -hypothalamus -cerebrum -corpus callosum -cerebral cortex -amygdala -hippocampus
Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex -there are two hemispheres to the brain -they are connected by the corpus callosum -occipital lobe -visual signals processed -temporal lobe -hearing, memory, emotion, and speaking
Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex -frontal lobe -organization, planning, creative thinking Parietal lobe -gets info from the skin, senses, and muscles
Hemispheres of the Brain -left and right hemispheres -compliment each other (mirror images) -corpus callosum carries messages between the hemispheres -each side connected to opposite side of the body
Hemispheres of the Brain -left hemisphere -controls right side of the body -often where speech is located -mathematical ability, calculation and logic
Hemispheres of the Brain -right hemisphere -controls the left side of the body -adept at visual and spatial relations -ex: puzzles -recognizing patterns from visual to auditory
