PPT-The Brain Cerebral Hemispheres

How is the brain organized Define the major lobes Distinguish between gyri and sulci Compare the functional areas of the cerebral cortex The cerebrum is divided into three major areas Cerebral Cortex. The brain enables the mind. When we’re thinking about our brains and how they work we’re thinking WITH our brains! . Ways we Study the Brain. Accidents. Lesions. EEG. CAT . Scan. PET Scan. MRI. Functional MRI. What is the cerebral cortex?. The cerebral cortex is the newest part of the brain (evolutionarily speaking. ). It also consists of two main layers:. Gray matter. White matter. . . Gray . matter. With Mnemonics. Hindbrain. Hindbrain. Brain area containing the medulla, . pons. , and cerebellum. Hindbrain?. Midbrain. Midbrain. Region between the hindbrain and the forebrain; it is important for hearing and sight and is one of several places in the brain where pain is registered. Weighs about 3 pounds . M. ajor portions:. Cerebrum. Diencephalon. Cerebellum. Brainstem. Made of about 100 billion neurons. The Amazing Brain. Cerebrum. Largest portion. Higher mental functions. Diencephalon. The task of neuroscience is to understand the mental processes by which we perceive, act, learn and remember.. Questions we will consider:.
