The document discusses the structure and function of the human brain. It begins with an overview of the evolution of the brain from the reptilian to paleomammalian to neomammalian structures. It then describes the major parts of the brain including the brainstem, cerebellum, limbic system, and cerebral cortex. Specific areas that control functions like memory, emotion, movement, and the five senses are identified. The document also discusses brain plasticity and lateralization between the left and right hemispheres.
The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. ... The brain stem is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain. Basic functions like breathing and sleep are controlled here.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Parts of the Brain
amygdala
pituitary
THALAMUS
Relays
messages
10. The Limbic System
• Hypothalamus, pituitary,
amygdala, and hippocampus
all deal with basic drives,
emotions, and memory
• Hypothalamus Hunger,
thirst, body temperature,
pleasure; regulates pituitary
gland (hormones)
• Pituitary “Master Gland”
– Stimulates other glands to
produce hormones
• Amygdala Aggression (fight)
and fear (flight)
• Hippocampus Memory
processing
11. The Limbic System
Hypothalamus
neural structure lying
below (hypo) the
thalamus; directs several
maintenance activities
Eating, drinking
body temperature
helps govern the
endocrine system via the
pituitary gland
linked to emotion
12. The Limbic System
Pituitary Gland
A pea-sized gland attached to the
hypothalamus by a thin stalk.
Has two bulb-like lobes
Secretes hormones that are used to control
other glands
GH – stimulates cells to grow & produce proteins
FSH – stimluates ovaries to produce eggs/testes to
produce sperm
Prolactin – stimulates mammary glands to produce
milk
13. The Limbic System
• Amygdala
two almond-shaped
neural
clusters that are
components of
the limbic system
and are linked to
emotion and fear
14. The Brain
• Thalamus
– the brain’s sensory
switchboard, located
on top of the
brainstem
– it directs messages to
the sensory receiving
areas in the cortex
and transmits replies
to the cerebellum and
medulla
15. The Cerebral Cortex
• Cerebral Cortex
–the body’s
ultimate control
and information
processing
center
17. The lobes of the cerebral hemispheres
Planning, decision
making speech
Sensory
Auditory
Vision
18. The Cerebral Cortex
• Frontal Lobes
– involved in speaking and
muscle movements and in
making plans and judgments
– the “executive”
• Parietal Lobes
– include the sensory cortex
19. The Cerebral Cortex
• Occipital Lobes
– include the visual areas, which
receive visual information from the
opposite visual field
• Temporal Lobes
– include the auditory areas, each of
which receives auditory information
primarily from the opposite ear
20. The Cerebral Cortex
• Frontal (Forehead to top) Motor Cortex
• Parietal (Top to rear) Sensory Cortex
• Occipital (Back) Visual Cortex
• Temporal (Above ears) Auditory Cortex
21. The Cerebral Cortex
Aphasia
impairment of language, usually caused by left
hemisphere damage either to Broca’s area
(impairing speaking) or to Wernicke’s area
(impairing understanding) –see clips
Broca’s Area
an area of the left frontal lobe that directs the
muscle movements involved in speech
Wernicke’s Area
an area of the left temporal lobe involved in
language comprehension and expression
22. Language Areas
• Broca
Expression
• Wernicke
Comprehension
and reception
• Aphasias

24. Techniques to examine functions
of the brain
1. Remove part of
the brain & see
what effect it has
on behavior
2. Examine
humans who have
suffered brain
damage
28. Our Divided Brains
• Corpus collosum –
large bundle of
neural fibers
(myelinated axons,
or white matter)
connecting the two
hemispheres
29. Hemispheric Specialization
LEFT
Symbolic thinking
(Language)
Detail
Literal meaning
RIGHT
Spatial perception
Overall picture
Context,
metaphor
30. Contra-lateral
division of labor
• Right hemisphere
controls left side of
body and visual field
• Left hemisphere
controls right side of
body and visual field
31. Split Brain Patients
• Epileptic patients had corpus callosum cut
to reduce seizures in the brain
• Lives largely unaffected, seizures reduced
• Affected abilities related to naming objects
in the left visual field
33. Brain Plasticity
• The ability of the brain to
reorganize neural pathways
based on new experiences
• Persistent functional changes in
the brain represent new
knowledge
• Age dependent component
• Brain injuries
36. Sensation
• The process by which the central
nervous system receives input from
the environment via sensory neurons
• Bottom up processing
– Piece together information to build a more
complex system or a “bigger picture”
37. Perception
• The process by which the brain
interprets and organizes sensory
information
• Top-down processing
– Overview details more specific details
– “breaking it down”
38. The psychophysics of sensation
• Absolute threshold the minimum
stimulation needed to detect a stimulus with
50% accuracy
• Subliminal stimulation below the
absolute threshold for conscious awareness
–May affect behavior without conscious
awareness
• Sensory adaptation/habituation
diminished sensitivity to an unchanging
stimulus
39. The five major senses
• Vision – electromagnetic
– Occipital lobe
• Hearing – mechanical
– Temporal lobe
• Touch – mechanical
– Sensory cortex
• Taste – chemical
– Gustatory insular cortex
• Smell – chemical
– Olfactory bulb
– Orbitofrontal cortex
– Vomeronasal organ?
40. The sixth sense
And the seventh…and eighth…and ninth…
• Vestibular balance and motion
– Inner ear
• Proprioceptive relative position of body
parts
– Parietal lobe
• Temperature heat
– Thermoreceptors throughout the body, sensory cortex
• Nociception pain
– Nociceptors throughout the body, sensory cortex
