3. Brain Anatomy Regions and their functions

4. By By Anthony

5. Mr. Verdi has a new favorite student…

6. Hippocampus and Amygdala

7. 4 major regions Cerebral hemispheres Diencephalon Brain stem Cerebellum

11. Cerebral Hemispheres Right and Left  Superior part of brain Most of mass of the brain Shallow groove = sulcus Elevated area by groove = gyrus

12. Cerebral Cortex.125 inch thick… 40% of brain mass Motor areas Sensory areas Association areas Contralateral control

14. Central sulcus Precentral gyrus = primary motor

15. Primary Motor Cortex Precentral gyrus Controls voluntary movement

16. Premotor Cortex Learned motor skills

17. Broca’s area Speech! Left hemisphere Broca's area and Wernicke's area are connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the arcuate fasciculus. Damage to the arcuate fasciculus causes a disorder called conduction aphasia. People with conduction aphasia can understand language, but their speech does not make sense and they cannot repeat words.

18. Primary Somatosensory Cortex Postcentral gyrus Right hemisphere gets information from left, and upside down

19. Somatosensory Association cortex Posterior to postcentral gyrus

20. Visual area Extreme posterior tip of occipital lobe

21. Visual Association Area Surrounds the visual area… determines what you are seeing –i.e. 2 pretty eyes, long hair, ears… its Zooey !

22. Auditory Areas Top of temporal lobe = primary auditory area Posterior of temporal lobe = auditory association area

23. Olfactory cortex  primitive brain new functions Rhinencephalon = Memory! Why we remember smell of Grandma’s old smoky apartment, with dentures and those weird mints now only seen at midlevel restaraunts

24. Diencephalon 3 paired structures Thalamus Hypothalamus Epithalamus

25. Thalamus Large number of nuclei “Afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body converge on the thalamus Includes sensory, visceral, emotional, etc.

26. Hypothalamus 7 functions 1.) Autonomic control center 2.) Center for emotional response 3.) Body Temperature Regulation

27. Hypothalamus 4.) Regulation of Food Intake 5.) Regulation of Water balance and thirst 6.) Regulation of sleep-wake cycles 7.) control of endocrine system functioning

28. Epithalamus Pineal gland – melatonin hormone

29. Brain Stem

30. Midbrain

31. Pons

32. Medulla Oblongata

33. Cardiovascular center Respiratory center Various other centers

34. Cerebellum
