|
Parietal Lobe
|
spatial organization; integrates sensory information from variety of modalities
|
space
|
|
|
Hippocampus
|
Seahorse, consolidate learning, move info from stm to ltm; compare new experience w/ old
|
campus is a place to learn
|
|
|
cerebrum
|
80% of brain weight; 2 hemispheres, connected by corpus callosum: what we think of generically as 'the brain' is a gross description of an anatomical element with many subdivisions. Responsible in general way for movement, sensory processing, olfaction, language learning and memory
|
connected by corpus c
|
|
|
Corpus Callosum
|
cable of 250 million nerves connect hemispheres of cerebrum
|
That many nerves!!
|
|
|
Cortex
|
covers cerbrum, 1/10 inch think folded; 10,000 miles of connecting fiber per inch
|
size of dinner napkin
|
|
|
Temporal lobe
|
above temples, ears; sound, music, face recog, parts of LTM, speech center, object recog

|
|
Occiptial Lobe
|
sight/visual processing
|
|
|
|
hypothalmus
|
homeostasis, monitors internal systems, hormone release,
|
keep it cool and steady
|
|
|
cerebellum
|
little brain, 11% of brain weight, deeply folded, more neurons that rest of brain, coordinates movement, automotic motor activites
|
petite
|
|
|
thalmus
|
all sensory data except smell
|
|
|
|
Brainstem and RAS
|
old brain, reptilian, 12 body nerves, 11 end here, vital body functions, heart respiration
ras=reticular activating system alertness |
|
|
|
Frontal Lobe
|
planning, thinking, executive functioning, will, personality

|
somatosensory cortex
|
touch
|
|
|
|
Triune Brain
|
method of mapping brain based on evolution: reptile, limbic, cortex. Moves from primitive to 'modern'
|
|
|
|
Repitilian brain
|
brain stem is synonym; handles most basic bodily functions: breathing, blood flow, homeostasis, automatic functions
|
|
|
|
cortex
|
Part of third part of Triune brain; outermost layer of brain --also known as cerebral cortex handles higher order thinking, executive functioning, problem solving
|
|
|
|
limbic system
|
second element of triune brain; mammalian brain, emotions, fight flight consists of amgdala, hypothalmus, and hippocampus
