The document details the anatomy and functions of the human brain, highlighting the three main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, along with their specific roles in sensory processing, movement, and survival functions. It also discusses ways to improve brain function through exercise, meditation, sleep, nutrition, social relationships, and creativity. Key takeaways include the importance of specific brain regions in emotional regulation and memory, as well as practical tips for enhancing cognitive abilities.

1. Brain: Parts, Processes,
and Functions
Understanding the
Brain's Role in Thoughts,
Behavior, and Feelings

2. What You Will Learn
1. Brain Parts: Cerebrum, Cerebellum,
Brainstem
2. Processes: Sensory processing,
memory, emotions
3. Functions: Movement, decision-
making, survival functions

3. The brain is the
most complex
organ in the
human body.

4. Three (3) main parts of the Brain
1. Cerebrum
2. Cerebellum
3. Brainstem.

5. The Cerebrum: Largest Part of the Brain
• Situated in the uppermost
part of the brain
• Regulates senses, memory,
emotions, and intellectual
activities and body movement
like deciding on your career
and curriculum exits.
• Divided into two hemispheres:
right controls the left side of
the body, left controls the
right of the body.

6. Cerebral Cortex: The Outer Layer
• Responsible for
information
processing and
decision-making.
• Divided into four
lobes: Frontal,
Parietal, Occipital,
Temporal.

7. Brain Lobes and Their Functions
• Frontal Lobe: Decision-making,
memory, emotions, stress
response, speech and
planning.
• Parietal Lobe: Sensory
perception.
• Temporal Lobe: Hearing and
comprehension.
• Occipital Lobe: Vision (Sight).

8. The Cerebellum: Movement and Balance
• Located at the
back of the head.
• Coordinates
movement and
maintains posture
and balance.

9. Brainstem: The Survival Hub
• Connects cerebrum and
cerebellum to the spinal
cord.
• Regulates breathing, heart
rate, body temperature,
blood pressure, digestion
and sleep cycles (SAFETY
AND SURVIVAL).

10. How the Brain Processes Sensory Information
• Eyes (sight): Occipital Lobe.
• Ears (hearing): Temporal Lobe.
• Nose (smell): Frontal and
Temporal Lobes.
• Tongue (taste): Parietal Lobe.
• Skin (touch): Parietal Lobe.

11. Limbic System: Emotions and Memory
• composes parts of the cerebral
cortex and hypothalamus
• Regulates emotions and memory.
• Interacts with the hypothalamus
for body function regulation.

12. • cerebrum and cortex-ability to think.
• limbic system- feelings
• Brainstem- behaving safely to survive.

13. Key Takeaways
• The brain is composed of parts
that regulate thoughts, behavior,
and body functions.
• Each lobe and region has specific
roles in processing information
and responding.

18. Ways to Improve your Brain Function for
Personal Development
1. Exercise- benefits brain health and cognition, improves your
memory, and even protects your brain from degeneration.
Aerobic exercise is good for the brain. Activities that keep your
blood pumping are good for your heart and great for your
brain.
2. Meditate- taking 10-15 minutes of meditation a day could help
to extend your cognitive longevity.
3. Sleep – getting enough sleep at night for 7 to 9 hours is enough
to consolidate memory learning. This is important in resetting the
brain, allow it to heal and restore.

4. Food Intake- just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. Eat a
brain boosting diet such as food rich in omega-3, antioxidants, amino
acids, and vitamin E. Eat more vegetables, limit calorie, and saturated
fat intake. Drink green tea and wine or grape juice in moderation.
5. Sunlight- 15 to 30 minutes of morning sunlight and exercise can
sometimes go hand in hand however, getting too little sunlight is not
healthy for your brain. Higher levels of vitamin D in your system allow
you to perform better and slow down the aging of your brain.
6. Good Relationship- make time for friends. Building a strong
support system around you will enable you to stay healthy mentally
and psychologically over the long term. This is called the ultimate
brain booster.

20. 7. Do not smoke- smoking can cause brain disorder called
dementia. Those people who smoked more than two packs of
cigarettes a day had twice the rate of dementia when they
were older.
8. Be creative – engaging in activities that will boost one’s
creativity like arts and crafts, writing poem, choreograph a
dance performance and the like are good for enhancing brain
functions.
9. Classical music- listening to calm music can improve brain
functions.
10. Drink coffee- drinking coffee in moderation increases your
brain performance and speed and will even boost your
intelligence, including your reaction time and reasoning.
