2 LOBES OF THE BRAIN Frontal, Parietal, Occipital and Temporal

3 Corpus Callosum

4 Location Corpus Callosum

5 Function: Corpus Callosum l A band of nerve fibers that divide the brain into right and left hemispheres & tranfers information l Split Brain?

6 Frontal Lobe- Location Frontal Lobe

7

8 Prefrontal Cortex - Function lLlLobe responsible for thought processes involving emotion & intuition. lClCase of Phineas Gage lClCase of Kristina Buffy

9 Location- Motor Cortex

10 Motor Cortex- Function l Processes the information for voluntary muscle movement. l Works top down and on opposite sides of the body.

12 Broca’s Area ( Speech Center) l Responsible for speech production l Controls muscles necessary to produce words

13 The Parietal Lobe Parietal Lobe

14 The Somatosensory Cortex-Location

15 The Somatosensory Cortex-Function

16 Somatosensory Cortex- Function lPlProcesses sensory information from the touch receptors in the body. lHlHeat, Pain, Cold, Sense of Touch

17 The Occipital Lobe- Location Occipital Lobe

18 The Visual Cortex- Function l Process sight information. l You can be “blind” with 20/20 vision l Visual Function

19 The Temporal Lobe- Location Temporal Lobe

20 The Auditory Area l Located at the top of the Temporal Lobe. l The purpose is to pattern incoming sound vibrations.

21 Wernickes Area l Interprets spoken word (auditory cortex) l Functions in conjunction with Broca’s area ( motor cortex)

22 The Auditory Area- Location

23 The Brain- 3D l The Secret Life of the Brain : 3- D Brain Anatomy The Secret Life of the Brain : 3- D Brain Anatomy
