1 The Human Brain

2 Cerebellum: Compares intended movements with what is actually happening. Constantly receiving input Damage to cerebellum called ataxia Lack of coordinated speech &movement Cerebrum Cerebellum

3 Cerebrum: The largest division of the brain. Divided into two hemispheres, each of which is divided into four lobes. Cerebrum Cerebellum

4 Cerebral Cortex Cerebral Cortex: The outermost layer of gray matter making up the superficial aspect of the cerebrum. Fissures: Deep grooves, generally dividing large regions/lobes of the brain Longitudinal Fissure: Divides the 2 Cerebral Hemispheres

5 Lobes of the Brain Frontal Parietal Occipital Temporal

6 Lobes of the Brain - Frontal The Frontal Lobe of the brain is located deep to the Frontal Bone of the skull. It plays an integral role in the following functions/actions: - Memory Formation - Emotions - Decision Making/Reasoning - Personality Broca’s Area – Controls facial neurons, speech, and language comprehension. - Voluntary Movement

7 Primary Motor Cortex/ Precentral Gyrus Broca’s Area Orbitofrontal Cortex Olfactory Bulb

8 Lobes of the Brain - Parietal Lobe The Parietal Lobe of the brain is located deep to the Parietal Bone of the skull. It plays a major role in the following functions/actions: - Senses and integrates sensations (sensory cortex) - Spatial awareness and perception Awareness of body/ body parts in space and in relation to each other

9 Lobes of the Brain – Occipital Lobe The Occipital Lobe of the Brain is located deep to the Occipital Bone of the Skull. Its primary function: Processing, integration, interpretation, etc. of VISION and visual stimuli.

10 Lobes of the Brain – Temporal Lobe The Temporal Lobes are located on the sides of the brain, deep to the Temporal Bones of the skull. They play an integral role in the following functions: - Hearing -Organization/Comprehen sion of language -Information Retrieval (Memory and Memory Formation) Wernicke’s Area Language comprehension

11 Primary Auditory Cortex Wernike’s Area Primary Olfactory Cortex (Deep) Conducted from Olfactory Bulb
