The document discusses the structure and function of the brain, including that it weighs 1,300-1,400 grams and is made up of around 100 billion neurons, and describes the major parts of the brain like the cerebrum, cerebellum, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe. It also outlines the functions of these parts of the brain related to reasoning, movement, sensory processing, vision, hearing, speech, memory, and more.

1. The Brain
 By the end of the lesson you should be
able to
 Describe the structure and function of
the brain
 State the function and location of
cerebrum, cerebellum and all four lobes
 State the location of sensory and motor
strip

2. The Brain
 weighs 1300 - 1400 g
 made up of about 100
billion neurons
 “the most complex living
structure on the
universe” Society for Neuroscience
 makes us who we are

4. Brain structure
Cerebrum
cerebellum

5. Cerebellum
• Found at the at the back of your
head under the cerebrum
• Means “little brain”
• Responsible for movement,
balance, posture.
• Often takes over learned
activities-
Like riding a bike!

6. Parts of the cerebrum

7. Frontal Lobe
• Found under your forehead.
• Center of reasoning
• Planning
• some parts of speech
• movement (motor cortex)
• Emotions
• problem solving.

8. Parietal Lobe
• Found on the top of your head.
• Receives sensory input from the skin. (touch,
pressure, temperature, & pain)

9. Occipital
• Found at the back of your head.
• Receives input from the eyes
• Often referred to as the visual
cortex

10. Temporal Lobe
• Found on the sides of your head above your ears.
• Functions include:
• speech perception
• hearing,
• some types of memory

11. Sensory homunculus

12. Motor strip and

13. Hemispheres
 uses logic • Acknowledges
 detail oriented order/pattern
• Perception
 facts rule
• knows object
 words and name
language • reality based
 present and • forms
past strategies
 math and • Practical
science • safe

15. Hemispheres- Right
 uses feelings • believes
 "big picture” • appreciates
oriented • spatial perception
 imagination rules
• knows object
function
 symbols and • fantasy based
images • presents
 present and future possibilities
 philosophy & • impetuous
religion • risk taking

16. Task
 You will need a Desktop or Netbook
 Research activities that are
completed due to the brain
 Label that activity with the part of
the brain
 You need to have 2-3 per lobe
