Presentation Transcript

  1. The Brain

  2. The Cerebral Hemispheres: Left and Right

  3. Mapping the Brain

  4. ExteriorStructure

  5. Regions of the brain in the Cerebral Cortex • Frontal Lobes: • Primary motor cortex • Broca’s Area • Parietal Lobes: • Primarysensory cortex • Angulargyrus • OccipitalLobes: • Primaryvisual area • Temporal Lobes: • Primaryauditory area • Wernicke’s area

  6. Additional structures • Brain Stem: links nervous system and brain • Cerebellum: stores motor movements, responsible for balance

  7. The Discovery of the brain regions: how do we know? • Experiments: apes, patients with nerurological disorders • Advances in technology: fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) Kim & Hirsch (1997) • Oliver Sacks case studies: illustrate how people think/ gives insight into brain damage to certain regions
