Today in class, we prepared for the diagram quiz tomorrow. I learned that the front lobe is located in the front of the brain and that the occipital lobe is located in the back of the brain. REM stands for rapid eye movement and is the last part of the sleep cycle. I learned how in stage 1 of sleep your brain produces beta waves then slows to alpha waves and eventually theta waves. Stages 3 and 4 are when you are in a deep sleep and they both produce different amount of delta waves (also when you sleepwalk and sleep talk).

What is the best stage to wake up in?
1
What happens in stage 3 and 4 specifically?
Body makes repairs in 3 and in 4 body temp. and BP decrease
What stage do we dream in?
REM

Manifest content (what actually happened in the dream), Latent is the underlying meaning

The part of the brain that surgeons sever is the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is what connects the communication between the left and the right hemispheres of the brain. Split-brain research was done a lot by Gazzaniga. Words or pictures flashed in the left hemisphere are only able to be drawn, the individual cannot say that they saw it. The brain and the body are connected oppositely from each other. The Brocus area is located in the left side of the frontal lobe, which controls speaking. Something done on one side is controlled on the other. Researchers try to figure out the cause and effect of this. The hemisphere that I would go without is the right side because the left is includes more logical thinking, information processing, and survival skills.

Today in class we completed the grapefruit lab (picture below). In the picture below, it shows how we split the grapefruit in two to represent the two hemispheres and then used the gummy worm to connect the two sides of the brain (corpus callosum). We put gummy bears in the back of the brain (occipital lobe), the back side of the brain (temporal lobe), the front side (frontal lobe), and the top of the brain (parietal lobe). Also we watched a video on Phineas Gage to understand how the brain responds to injury and how it is affected.
What does it mean to be human?
-I think that the frontal lobe is one the main parts that determines that we are human. It makes up our judgement and personality. That is one of the main part of our individuality (frontal lobe involves memory and it is one of the main parts that makes us different from everyone else. It is the unconscious ability to feel emotion.

Today in class, we did the broccoli lab and created a model of the brain. I learned how the medulla is located in the brainstem and its function is to control breathing and heart rate. The cerebellum controls balance and coordination and is located in the back of the brain. The reticular formation controls alertness and arousal and is located in the middle of the brain stem and goes through the brain.

Today in class we learned how the synapse is the total area of Synaptic Knob (terminal button), or the neurocommunication. Also we learned to identify the various parts of the brain and how the forebrain involves thinking, reasoning, and what makes us human; the midbrain is sensory information; and the hindbrain is the earliest part to evolve and includes the medulla, pons, and cerebellum).
Question: How does the findings of Jim's scan and mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?
Answer: This helps answer theoretical questions by gaining more knowledge on what different parts of the brain specifically do and how they impact our personalities. It gives us insight to what we can do in the future and how we can possible understand a person just by looking at their brain.

Today in class, we learned about common types of neurotransmitters including Ach, Serotonin, Dopamine, Endorphins, and GABA. We learned how too much or too little of these can causes serious disorders or conditions in the body. Also we learned how agonist molecules stimulate a response, where antagonist molecules prevent or block a response.

Both nature and nurture can affect the lives of an individual. They work simultaneously to influence the character of an individual. Nurture is how your family affects you and how the methods by which you were raised. Nature is the environment around you and how in influences you to act certain ways and make certain decisions.

In class today, we learned about neurotransmitters and how they affect our body. We made a playdoh model of neurons (below) to illustrate how an action potential travels down an axon where the vessicles release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap, where they then attach to the receiving neuron.
