Attach a PICTURE with your padlet that REPRESENTS your section of the brain. (5-7 sentences w/picture). Make sure that you put your NAME on your PADLET]]> 2018-10-17 16:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293940935 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293978006 The Temporal lobe is each of the paired lobes of the brain lying beneath the temples. It is including areas concerned with the understanding of speech and memory. It is important for auditory perception and it receives sensory information from the ears. Then it processes the information into meaningful units such as speech and words. The temporal lobe is very important in helping a person understand what is being said and how to interpret what is being said.]]> 2018-10-17 17:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293978006 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293978464 The frontal lobe is the section of the brain lying immediately behind the forehead. The function of the frontal lobe deals with behavior, learning, personality, and voluntary movement. This portion of the brain controls important cognitive skills in humans. These skills include emotional expression, problem solving, judgement, language, and memory. Essentially, the frontal lobe controls our ability to communicate and our individual personalities. The frontal lobe is also responsible for our ability to consciously move our muscles. The right section of the frontal lobe controls the left part of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the right section of the body.]]> 2018-10-17 17:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293978464 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293979374 The Motor cortex is a region of the cerebral cortex in which planning initiating and executing  voluntary movements. The motor cortex can be divided into three categories  Primary ,Pre-motor cortex and Supplementary motor area.Primary is located on the anterior paracentral lobule and is the main source of all voluntary actions and is key in neural impulses controls all movement . Supplementary is used in executing planned actions and specifically learned tasks. Nearly every primate has all functions of the motor cortex at varying levels of intellginece]]> 2018-10-17 17:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293979374 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293993298 The occipital lobe of the brain is one of the four major in the cerebral cortex. This lobe controls your sense of sight and processes what you are seeing. This is an important section of the brain because it interprets what you are seeing swiftly so you can comprehend it. The occipital lobe consists of most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. Also the ventral and dorsal stream, that connects the eyes to the brain, processes the "what," "where" and "how."]]> 2018-10-17 17:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293993298 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293994544 The motor cortex is a part of the brain where the nerve impulses originate that initiative voluntary muscular activity. this part of the brain has three parts called the primary motor cortex, pre-motor cortex, and the supplementary motor area. these all contribute to the muscle movements within your body. they send impulses down the spinal cord to control and execute movement]]> 2018-10-17 17:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293994544 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293999243 The sensory cortex receives all sensory input from the body. this part of the brain processes sensations, or external stimuli from our environment. Neurons that sense feelings in our skin, pain, visual, or auditory stimuli, all send their information to the somatosensory cortex for processing ]]> 2018-10-17 17:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/293999243 https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/295734591 The parietal lobe processes sensory information that deals with taste, temperature, touch and pain receptors. If someone were to damage this part of their brain, they wouldn't be able to feel sensations of touch. This part of the brain is also responsible for the manipulation of objects, navigating different parts of your body along with their functions, and also the awareness of the space around you. If someone were to damage this part of their brain, they would lose their sense of touch which is really important.]]> 2018-10-23 00:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mlevick/brain/wish/295734591
