AP Psychology Review: Day 2
Unit 3: The Brain and Nervous SystemSlide2
I. The ForebrainSlide3
A. The Corpus Callosum
Connects the right/left hemispheres of the brainAllows impulses to pass from one side to another
Mnemonic:
The
Cor
PLUS
CalloSUM.Slide4
B. The Broca’s Area
Formulates human speech abilities
If damaged, you can understand others, but cannot create cogent speech
Mnemonic:
Broca’s
speech is broken.
Sure learn for AP make test the to this!!!Slide5
C. Wernicke’s Area
Responsible for the comprehension of speechIf damaged, a person might misunderstand what is being said to them
Mnemonic:
Wernicke’s
comprehension
is not worth a mention.
So you said, “Mr. Beach is going to raid my chest in two maze”.Slide6
D. The Hippocampus
Allows us to store and retrieve memories
Damage to the Hippocampus will cause us to have difficulty storing and retrieving memories
Mnemonic:
If I saw a
Hippo
on
Campus, I would never forget it.Slide7
E. Amygdala
Controls our immediate fear responses
Fight or Flight response
Mnemonic:
If you got attacked by a giant
Awygdala
, it will activate your
Amygdala
.Slide8
F. The Thalamus
Relays and directs information from the other parts of the nervous system to the brain
Also involved in decoding messages from the endocrine system
Mnemonic:
Hal and Amos directed the traffic.Slide9
G. The Hypothalamus
Controls our hunger and thirst
Also works with our endocrine system to regulate many of our metabolic processes
Mnemonic:
Hypo
(dermic) the
Llamas
.Slide10
H. The Lobes (Acronym to Remember them)Slide11
I. The Occipital Lobe
Allows us to perceive the encoded messages from our vision
Damage to the Occipital lobe can our effect our vision
Mnemonic:
Octopus
Sees
a Tall Lobe.Slide12
J. The Parietal Lobe
Helps to process information from our sensory systems
Mnemonic:
A
Piranha ate all
my lobes.Slide13
K. The Frontal Lobe
The part of the brain where complex thinking occurs
If damaged, many complex tasks can be lost
Mnemonic:
Einstein
is knocking on your
front
door.Slide14
L. The Temporal Lobe
Part of the cerebral cortex that perceives hearing
Mnemonic:
Tempo
comes from
Oral
Music.Slide15
M. The Limbic System (Acronym for remembering)
Limbic System
Midbrain
Hippocampus
Amygdala
Hypothalamus
Milgram Always Hugs Harlow
Your Limbic System helps with memories and emotionsSlide16
II. The HindbrainSlide17
A. The Cerebellum
Responsible for helping an individual maintain their balanceMnemonic:
Maria balanced on a tightrope using
Sarah’s bells
.Slide18
B. The Pons
Helps to regulate our ability to wake and to relaxMnemonic:
I’m Chilling on a Pond with my magic wand.Slide19
C. The Reticular Formation

If you were tickled while sleeping you would quickly be alert.Slide20

Helps to regulate passing information through the Nervous System
Low levels can cause Parkinson’s
High Levels can cause Schizophrenia
Mnemonic:

D. Endorphins
Helps to block pain responses and produces an exercise high
