But it also controls personality, impulse control, memory storage, and controlling emotions. The most forward part is known as the 'prefrontal cortex'. People with damage to their frontal lobe often experience trouble performing motor or mental tasks. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495510451 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495512693 This area of the brain is located along the side starting just behind the temples. This area contains the primary auditory cortex along with the auditory association area, it's responsible for hearing and meaningful speech. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495512693 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495515781 Located at the top and the back of the brain, right underneath the parietal bone, this area contains the somatosensory cortex an area of neurons. This area is responsible for containing the information to process the skin and the internal body receptors for touch, body temperature, and body position. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495515781 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495517788 This region is located at the base of the cortex towards the back of the brain. It's only responsibility is to process visual information, the visual association cortex and primary visual cortex are located in this lobe that help identify and make sense of what the eyes are seeing. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495517788 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495523953 Wernicke's Area is located in the left temporal lobe, it's involved with the understanding of the meaning of words. A person with Wernicke's aphasia would be able to speak fluently and pronounce words correctly but the wrong words entirely. For example, "Please dog Saturday right" said a patient who suffered a stroke in his left temporal lobe. This area was named after a physiologist named Carl Wernicke who first studied problems that arised in this area afted severe attacks. ]]> 2023-02-26 21:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495523953 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495740646 The motor cortex is in rear section of the frontal lobe, its responsibility is to send motor commands to the muscles of the somatic nervous system. The motor cortex is a band of neurons , it controls the movements of the body's voluntary muscles. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495740646 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495746004 Located in the left frontal lobe, this area is dedicated for the production of speech. Damage to this area can result in broken speech, people with this condition know exactly what they want to say and understand what they hear others say but cannot control their own words. This is called Broca's aphasia, named after Paul Broca, a neurologist who first studied the deficits in fluent and articulate speech resulting from damage from this area. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495746004 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495751503 The sensory cortex is in the front of the parietal lobe, its responsible for processing information from the skin and internal body receptors for touch, temperature, and and body position. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495751503 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495758455 For the first task I chose to talk on the phone, the three parts of my brain that are working would be temporal lobe, wernicke's area, and broca's area. The temporal lobe controls the auditory cortex allowing me to hear what the other person is saying, wernicke's area is involved with the understanding of the meaning of words allowing me to interpret those words, and broca's area controls the production of speech allowing me to respond back to them in a timely manner with no speech delays. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495758455 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495763787 For task 2, I am petting my cat Sevyn, the three parts of my brain that are working right now would be the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, and the parietal lobe. The frontal lobe is responsible for controlling my impulse to not throw or squeeze her too hard. The occipital lobe is helping me identify that she is a cat and not a dog through the primary visual cortex that's located in this lobe, and the parietal lobe is processing the information that she is furry short haired cat. ]]> 2023-02-27 04:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495763787 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495775754 For the third task I chose to sleep, the three parts of my brain that are working are the medulla, pons, and the hypothalamus. The medulla is responsible for life sustaining activities such as breathing, swallowing, and heart rate which is needed especially when in an unconscious state. The pons is responsible for influencing sleep and dreaming, and the hypothalamus is a very small but extremely important part of the brain because it is responsible for not only regulating sleep but thirst, hunger, and body temperature. ]]> 2023-02-27 04:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495775754 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495791876 For the fourth task I'm reading a scary book and the three parts of my brain that would be working would be the amygdala, right hemisphere, and the left hemisphere. The amygdala is responsible for the fear responses and memory of fear, so in the future I'll remember that this is a scary book and that Stephen King writes scary books. Right hemisphere controls emotions so because the right side of my brain isn't damaged my response to this book is appropriate and I'm not screaming or hollering. The left side functions are speech, arthimetic, reading, and writing and because it's working I can read. ]]> 2023-02-27 04:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495791876 arianamsanchez79 https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495823267 For the last task I chose to study, the three parts of my brain that are working are the cerebellum, thalamus, and hippocampus. The cerebellum is responsible for involuntary rapid motor movement but it also can coordinate to voluntary movements, for example me sitting on my bed studying I can feel myself falling over I unconsciously adjusted myself, that was thanks to the cerebellum. Thalamus is a relay station for the brain to process information to then send out the right parts of the brain, which is important especially when studying. And hippocampus focuses on long term memory which is what studying is all about, because I am going over my notes over and over again, and my goal to memorize them long term, the hippocampus is at work. ]]> 2023-02-27 04:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arianamsanchez79/wl803oq7te2plwj3/wish/2495823267
