![Page 4: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Brain• The most important
structure in our bodies
• Controls most of human thought and emotion.
• From pain to pleasure it all comes from the brain.
![Page 5: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The BrainMade up of millions of densely
packed neurons and actually it feels no pain.
Pain actually stops once something reaches the actual brain.
It was once commonly believed that if you damage brain cells (through
drinking, smoking, hitting your head, or just holding your breath for a REALLY long time) they would never grow back And you would be in big trouble...
There is some research now that points to the contrary.
![Page 6: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• So, if you have some brain damage, do not worry...
– Some of our brain functions are flexible and if one part goes out, others will try to compensate and continue to function.
• This is called Brain Brain PlasticityPlasticity
![Page 7: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Brain Plasticity• The idea that the brain, The idea that the brain,
when damaged, will when damaged, will attempt to fix itselfattempt to fix itself
• It does this by rerouting connections to avoid damaged areas
• Think of it this way…you are on the way for a romantic date when you find the highway flooded…– Would you give up?? – No, you would use Mapquest to
get new directions
• This is essentially what our brains try to do when damaged.
![Page 8: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Brain Plasticity• Unfortunately, as we age the ability of brain
plasticity working decreases.
– Children’s brains are more plastic than adults.
• The lesson here is…???– if you are going to damage your brain, do it at a
very young age.

AccidentsEvery so often someone gets
smacked in the head REALLY hard and from that injury we learn about the brain.
The Phineas Gage The Phineas Gage StoryStory
• Personality and behavior changed after damage to his Frontal CortexFrontal Cortex
What did this tell us?What did this tell us?– different parts of the brain
control different aspects of who we are.

Lesions/Ablations• Removal or destruction
of some part of the damaged brain.– Sometimes done
intentionally • Frontal Lobotomy
– Often used for mentally unstable patients

Brain Structures
The brain can be broken down into
three areas:
1. Hindbrain2. Midbrain3. Forebrain
![Page 14: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hindbrain• Lowest part of the brain, on top of our spinal cord
• Controls most of our basic biological functions.• i.e. heartbeat, breathing, ect.
The brain in purple makes up the hindbrain.
![Page 15: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Medulla OblongataLocated just above the
spinal cord
Involved in control of
•blood pressure•heart rate•breathing.
If you get hurt in the MO you
should just pack it in
![Page 16: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PonsLocated just above the
medulla
• Relays information to other parts of the brain from the hindbrain
![Page 17: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CerebellumLocated at the bottom
rear of the brain
• Looks like a mini version of the brain - “little brain”
• Controls balance, coordination, and fine muscle movement
![Page 18: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

MidbrainLocated in the middle of our brain
and is the pathway that connect the hb and fb
• Most important structure in Midbrain
is the Reticular FormationReticular Formation– controls arousalcontrols arousal (no not that
type of arousal)
If Destroyed
If stimulated

ForebrainLargest part of the brain
– The most important part of the brain for this class
– What makes us human.
Made up of 3 parts– Thalamus– Limbic System – Cerebral Cortex.
![Page 21: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Thalamus• The operator / switchboard
of the brain (relay station)
• Any sensory information that comes into our bodies (sight, hearing, touch and taste) goes to the Thalamus first from the spinal cord – Every sense except smell
• It then sends them to other It then sends them to other parts of the brain to get parts of the brain to get processedprocessed

Hypothalamus
Maybe the most important and powerful structure in the brain
– Only the size of a pea
Controls and regulates vital Controls and regulates vital body functionsbody functions
• Body temperature• Sexual Arousal• Hunger• Thirst• Endocrine System
Often referred to Often referred to as the as the
“pleasure “pleasure center”center”

Hippocampus• Involved in the
processing and storage of memories.
– Not stored here, but it helps put them in the right places
![Page 26: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
AmygdalaAmygdala• Handles emotional
response to fear and aggression
• Also involved in handling basic emotions like anger and jealousy
![Page 27: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pituitary GlandPituitary Gland• “Master Gland”• Responsible for the production and
distribution of hormones
![Page 28: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Cerebral Cortex• The most important part of
the brain – “makes us human”
• Made up of densely packed neurons often called “gray matter”
• It is big and full of wrinkles called fissures.
• If I took out your cerebral cortex and ironed it, it would be as big as a large pizza (but would not taste as good)
![Page 29: Welcome!! Warm-Up On the sheet provided, label the Neuron correctly… then explain the three types of Neurons on the bottom of the paper](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070418/56649ed15503460f94be0077/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

The Cerebral Cortex is divided into two hemispheres
In general =Left HemisphereLeft Hemisphere: language abilitieslanguage abilities –speaking, reading,
writing logical analysislogical analysis - mathRight HemisphereRight Hemisphere: understanding spatial relationshipsunderstanding spatial relationships
– puzzles, reading maps = recognizing faces and recognizing faces and interpreting facial expressions and perceiving and interpreting facial expressions and perceiving and expressing emotionexpressing emotion = likes art and music
Lateralization:•Division of functions
between sides of the brain
•right controls leftand vice versa
•Often one side is better at certain tasks than
The other side

Between the two hemispheres is a band of nerve fibers called the
Corpus Callosum
Divides the 2 hemispheres.
