    The document summarizes the major parts and structures of the human brain. It describes the three main sections as the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. The hindbrain controls basic autonomic functions. The midbrain acts as a relay station between the hindbrain and forebrain. The forebrain contains the most complex networks and houses higher cognitive functions. Several structures within each section, like the brain stem, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and various lobes, are also outlined along with their functions.

    GROUP 4

    POWERS OF
    THE MIND
    Lesson 1
    01
    BRAIN PARTS, ITS
    PROCESSES AND
    FUNCTIONS
    THREE LAYER MAJOR OF THE
    BRAIN
    HINDBRAIN

    MIDBRAIN

    FOREBRAIN
    Hindbrain
    the well-protected central core of the brain. It
    includes the cerebellum, reticular formation,
    and brain stem, which are responsible for some
    of the most basic autonomic functions of life,
    such as breathing and movement
    Midbrain
    the makes up part of the brain stem. It is located
    between the hindbrain and forebrain. All
    sensory and motor information that travels
    between the forebrain and the spinal cord
    passes through the midbrain, making it a relay
    station for the central nervous system
    Forebrain
    the most anterior division of the developing vertebrate brain,
    containing the most complex networks in the central nervous system.

    Diencephalon Telencephalon
    is the lower, containing the is on top of the diencephalon
    thalamus and hypothalamus and contains the cerebrum, the
    (which together form the limbic home of the highest-level
    system) cognitive processing in the brain.
    Structures and
    function of the
    “old brain” and
    its influence on
    behaviors.
    Brain Stem
    The oldest and innermost region of the brain. It’s
    designed to control the most basic functions of
    life, including breathing, attention, and motor
    responses.
    Medulla
    the area of the brain stem that controls heart rate
    and breathing.
    Pons
    a structure in the brain stem that helps control the
    movements of the body, playing a particularly
    important role in balance and walking
    Reticular
    Formation
    To filter out some of the stimuli that are coming into
    the brain from the spinal cord and to relay the
    remainder of the signals to other areas of the brain.
    It also plays important roles in walking, eating,
    sexual activity, and sleeping
    Thalamus
    The egg-shaped structure above the brain stem that
    applies more filtering to the sensory information
    that is coming up from the spinal cord and through
    the reticular formation, it relays some of these
    remaining signals to the higher brain levels. It is
    Important in sleep because it shuts off incoming
    signals from the senses, allowing us to rest.
    Cerebellum
    “little brain” consists of two wrinkled ovals behind the
    brain stem. It functions to coordinate voluntary
    movement. It contributes to emotional responses,
    helps us discriminate between different sounds and
    textures
    Amygdala
    consists of two “almond-shaped”
    clusters (amygdala comes from the Latin word for
    “almond”) and is primarily responsible for regulating
    our perceptions of, reactions to, aggression
    and fear.
    Hypothalamus
    a brain structure that contains a number of small areas
    that perform a variety of functions, including the
    important role of linking the nervous system to the
    endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It helps
    regulate body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sex,
    and responds to the satisfaction of these needs by
    creating feelings of pleasure
    Hippocampus
    consists of two “horns” that curve back from the
    amygdala. It is important in storing information in
    long-term memory.
    Cerebral Cortex
    Cerebral Cortex
    the outer bark-like layer of our brain that allows us to
    so successfully use language, acquire complex skills,
    create tools, and live in social groups. It is divided
    into the right and left hemispheres and into
    four lobes.
    Right Brain
    coordinates the left side of the body and achieves tasks that
    involve creativity and arts. Some of the abilities popularly
    associated with the right side of the brain include:

    • Recognizing faces • Music


    • Color • Intuitions
    • Motions • Reading emotions
    • Images • Creativity
    Left Brain
    controls the right side of the body, it also accomplishes tasks
    that involve the academic and logical thinking like
    mathematics and science. The left-brain is described as
    being better at:

    • Language • Thinking
    • Logic • Numbers
    • Critical • Reasoning
    BRAIN LOBES
    Frontal Lobes
    • Located behind the forehead, frontal lobes are the largest lobes of the
    brain. These two lobes are involved in: Planning, Organizing, Problem
    Solving, Memory, Impulse Control, Decision Making, Selective
    Attention, Controlling our behavior and emotions. The left frontal lobe
    plays a large role in speech and language.

    • Injury to the frontal lobes may affect emotions, impulse control,


    language, memory, social and sexual behavior.
    Parietal Lobes
    • Located behind the frontal lobes, the parietal lobes: Integrate sensory
    information from various parts of the body and contain the primary
    sensory cortex, which controls sensation (touch, hot or cold, pain). Help
    to keep up from bumping into things when we walk.

    • Injury to the parietal lobe may affect: The ability to locate parts of the
    body. The ability to recognize parts of your body
    Occipital Lobes
    • Located at the lower back of the head, the occipital lobes. It receives
    the process visual information. Contain areas that help in receiving
    shapes and colors.

    • Injury to the occipital lobes may affect: Distortion of the visual field.
    Perception of size, color, and shape.
    Temporal Lobes
    • Located on the sides of the brain under the parietal lobes and behind
    the frontal lobes at about the level of the ear. They are responsible for:
    Recognizing and processing sound. Understanding and producing
    speech. Various aspects of memory.

    • Injury to the temporal lobe may affect: Hearing, Language, the ability
    to recognize a familiar person’s face and processing sensory
    information.
