THE BRAIN 3 Sections of the Brain: Hindbrain: Medulla, Pons, Cerebellum Midbrain: Reticular Activating System Forebrain: Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Limbic System, Cerebrum

THE BRAIN Reticular Activating System: attention, sleep, arousal Limbic System: if damaged, people can recall old memories, but cannot create new memories Cerebrum: 70% of total weight

CEREBRAL CORTEX Composed of two sides: left and right hemisphere Corpus Callosum connects the two hemispheres Different hemispheres control different modes of thinkings

LEFT HEMISPHERE Focus on logical thinking, analysis and accuracy Controls the right side of the body Logical, rational, analytical, accurate Excels in math and science Career choices include doctor, lawyer, accountant, business management, retail

RIGHT HEMISPHERE Focus on aesthetics, feeling and creativity Controls the left side of the body Random, spatial, intuitive, people skills Excels is writing, music and the arts Career choices include advertising, therapist, broadcast journalism, the arts Some individuals are “whole-brained” and adapt at both modes

4 LOBES Each hemisphere is divided into 4 lobes Occipital Lobe: seeing Temporal Lobe: hearing Parietal Lobe: skin Frontal Lobe: motor and sensory messages
