The document discusses different regions of the human brain. It states that the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa. It discusses the brainstem, medulla, thalamus and cerebellum as the oldest regions of the brain which control basic functions like breathing, heartbeat, balance and movement. The frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes make up the newer regions of the brain.

1. Section 1: The Old Brain Fill it with knowledge Giff.

2. 1. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the opposite side of the body and vice versa. 2. Humans only use 10% of their brain. 3. Regions of the brain can change or adapt their functions.

3. 4. If you cut the connective tissue that bonds left and right hemispheres together, people can live a normal life. 5. People can live a normal life after removing half of their brain.

4. 6. The brain is a pig consuming 20% of the air and calories we take in. 7. Your brain thinks more during the day than at night.

5. 8. Although the brain controls the sense of pain, it can not feel it itself. 9. The brain contains 50,000 miles of blood vessels inside it.

6. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the opposite side of the body and vice versa. TRUE

7. Humans only use 10% of their brain. FALSE

8. Regions of the brain can change or adapt their functions. TRUE

10. People can live a normal life after removing half of their brain. TRUE

11. The brain is a pig consuming 20% of the air and calories we take in. TRUE

13. 8. Although the brain controls the sense of pain, it can not feel it itself. TRUE

14. The brain contains 50,000 miles of blood vessels inside it. False

15. The brain’s oldest ancestor is the brainstem . The brainstem controls your most primitive and automatic survival functions like sleep and body temp. Think of it as the power cord or if you are really creative, the stem part of the broccoli. I taste better than brainstem.

16. The base of the brainstem where it enters the brain itself is the medulla. Medulla is the auto-pilot for heartbeat and breathing.

19. What would happen if Gifford was a doctor or mad scientist and… Detached the cats upper brain from the medulla and brainstem?

20. Sitting on top of the Brainstem is the Thalamus. The receiving center for your senses. Information comes in from your senses and the thalamus directs the information to the other brain regions.

23. Our last section of the old brain region is the Cerebellum. The “little brain” coordinates movement, balance and learned physical skills.
