1. The Brain  By the end of the lesson you should be able to  Describe the structure and function of the brain  State the function and location of cerebrum, cerebellum and all four lobes  State the location of sensory and motor strip

2. The Brain  weighs 1300 - 1400 g  made up of about 100 billion neurons  “the most complex living structure on the universe” Society for Neuroscience  makes us who we are

3. The Brain Phineas gage

4. Brain structure Cerebrum cerebellum

5. Cerebellum Found at the at the back of your head under the cerebrum Means “little brain” Responsible for movement, balance, posture. Often takes over learned activities- Like riding a bike!

6. Parts of the cerebrum

7. Frontal Lobe Found under your forehead. Center of reasoning Planning some parts of speech movement (motor cortex) Emotions problem solving.

8. Parietal Lobe Found on the top of your head. Receives sensory input from the skin. (touch, pressure, temperature, & pain)

9. Occipital Found at the back of your head. Receives input from the eyes Often referred to as the visual cortex

10. Temporal Lobe Found on the sides of your head above your ears. Functions include: speech perception hearing, some types of memory

11. Sensory homunculus

12. Motor strip and homunculus Motor strip

13. Hemispheres  uses logic  detail oriented  facts rule  words and language  present and past  math and science Acknowledges order/pattern Perception knows object name reality based forms strategies Practical safe

15. Hemispheres- Right  uses feelings  "big picture” oriented  imagination rules  symbols and images  present and future  philosophy & religion believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

16. Task  You will need a Desktop or Netbook  Research activities that are completed due to the brain  Label that activity with the part of the brain  You need to have 2-3 per lobe  The website below should be used  http://www.photovisi.com/collage/c reate?template=template7 http://www.photovisi.com/collage/c reate?template=template7  Screen shot the final product and post on your blog
