Overview: The Brain and How it Works• Like an incredible living machine.• This fist-sized, 3 pound or gan is responsible for the overall

functioning of our body.• Command centre that directs action happening

physiologically.• Key information processing unit that interprets the world of

our experience an vital response unit that allows us to react to the world.• Like a capsule of our consciousness, of what we know, and

of our memories.

BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE BRAIN:• The Hindbrain

• This part of the brain is responsible for our instinctive, autonomic behavior that serves survival functions.

• Medulla – controls vital functions like respiration, blood circulation, digestion, and heart rate.

• Cerebellum – regulates posture, balance, and muscular coordination• Pons – acts as bridge between medulla and other parts of the brain;

regulates movement, sleep, and arousal.

• Reticular – activating system regulates attention, movement, sleep, waking, and reflexes.

The Midbrain

• part is the conduction and switching center of the brain that enables responses to happen, like muscle movements and for auditory and visual system processing to transpire.

Forebrain• This is in-charge of our intellectual activity and consciousness.

• Cerebrum acts as “executive center” of the brain responsible for remembering, learning, and thinking, as well as taking charge of language, and emotion.• Thalamus relays sensory information.• Hypothalamus secretes hormones and controls

physiological functions like temperature, hunger, and thirst.• Corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres.• Pituitary gland is the master gland that secretes

hormones and controls the endocrine system.

PREVIOUS STUDIES ON THE BRAIN

• 1861 – DR. PAUL BROCA – conducted a study on the language and the left-brain specialization on a patient who had problems with language.

• 1981 – DR. ROGER SPERRY – conducted a study for epilepsy, which gave him the 1981 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. “THE SPLIT-BRAIN THEORY”

•DR. PAUL MacLean – came up with a theory that identified three distinct parts of the brain; namely: neocortex, limbic system, and reptilian complex.

•“THE TRIUNE BRAIN THEORY”

• ENGR. NED HERRMANN – THE BRAIN DOMINANCE THEORY.

THE SPLIT BRAIN THEORY

•The brain has two hemispheres that perform tasks differently from each other. The left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. •The left brain performs intuitive, creative, and synthesizing

•The right brain performs analytical, logical reasoning, and critical thinking.

MIND MAPPING

•Mind map – is a diagram used to represent ideas or information branching from a central keyword or ideas and used as an aid in study, organization, problem-solving, decision-making, and writing.

www.mindmapping.com

1. The center image represents the main idea, subject or focus.

2. The main branches radiate from the central image.

3. The branches comprise a key image or word drawn or printed on its line.

4. Twigs represent the lesser topics5. The branches form a connected nodal

structure.

Using Mind Maps Effectively

1. Use single words or simple phrases

2. Print Words

3. Use Color to Separate Different Ideas

4. Use Symbols and Images

5. Use Cross-linkages
