1) The Amygdala - It is in charge for the ability to read someone else’s face for clues to how they are feeling.
The amygdala is located in the limbic system and is the integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation. Both the amygdala and the hippocampus help humans remember meaningful experiences. Other findings provide direct evidence that the amygdala is engaged in processing the emotional convexity of faces with a specificity of response to fearful facial expressions (Morris, J., Frith, C., Perrett, D., Rowland, D., 1996). Knowing how students feel will help teachers understand why students are not giving the best. Many students come to school with problems from home, and this will affect the behavior in the classroom. …show more content…
It. situated between the cerebral cortex and midbrain. Its functions include relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. When designing lesson we need to focus more on engaging activities that encourage students to participate in discussions.
For example, inviting students to share their ideas turns classroom discussion away from simple facts to a more active and motivational participation. These activities will keep students be alert and ready to learn. (Sylwester, n.d.)
7) Corpus Callosum- The corpus callosum is the largest fiber bundle in the brain, containing nearly 200 million axons (Sousa, 2011)
The corpus callosum is like a bridge that connects the left and right sides of the brain allowing for communication between both sides. The corpus callosum transfers motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the left and right side of the brain. (Sousa, 2011, p.20) In the classroom, teachers need to provide activities that allow children to use both sides of the brain. Kids can try to do games with their non-dominant hand. Drawing and coloring with the hand that is not the dominant hand can be fun for them.
