A Review of
The Brain
• Place the following methods of studying the brain into one of two categories:
• EEG• CT Scan• MRI• Lesion• PET Scan• fMRI
The BrainANSWER
FUNCTION• EEG• Lesion• PET Scan• fMRI
STRUCTURE• CT Scan• MRI
The Brain
• This method of studying the brain uses magnets to create a 3D image of the brain.
The BrainANSWER
• MRI
The Brain
• This method of studying the brain records the brain electrical activity to show which area is functioning.
The BrainANSWER
• EEG
The Brain
• This method of studying the brain uses radioactive glucose to study which area of the brain is working the hardest on certain tasks.
The BrainANSWER
• PET Scan
The Brain
• Purposely destroying a portion of an animal’s brain to find out about its function.
The BrainANSWER
• Lesion
The Brain
• Person whose case study informed scientists that perhaps our personality and behavior were tied to our frontal lobes of the brain.
The BrainANSWER
• Phineas Gage
The Brain
• Study of the bumps on a person’s skull that was thought to reveal what the different areas of the brain did. Found to be unscientific but did lead to the idea of localization.
The BrainANSWER
• Phrenology
The Brain
• When JFK was shot he was killed immediately due to this part of his brain being destroyed which governs over automatic functions like heartbeat and breathing.
The BrainANSWER
• Medulla
The Brain
• This serves as the brain’s post office delivering incoming sensory information to the portions of the brain that can best make sense of it.
The BrainANSWER
• Thalamus
The Brain
• Everytime you walk or ride a bike smoothly you are successfully using this part of your brain.
The BrainANSWER
• Cerebellum
The Brain
• When you’re being overly emotional, then you must be using this part of your brain that is control of emotions.
The BrainANSWER
• Limbic System
The Brain
• When one area of this was stimulated a wolverine cowered in the corner of its cage seemingly scared of nothing. When another area of this was stimulated the wolverine acted ferociously attacking anything in site.
The BrainANSWER
• Amygdala
The Brain
• In order to fit the cerebral cortex in our skulls it has to be…
The BrainANSWER
• wrinkled
The Brain
• This is the outer layer of the brain that performs our higher level thinking skills and separates us from the other animals.
The BrainANSWER
• Cerebral Cortex
The Brain
• This is the pleasure center of the brain that rewards us for doing the things we need to keep our species alive.
The BrainANSWER
• Hypothalamus
The Brain
• Name the Lobes of the Brain1.
2. 3.
4.
The BrainANSWER
1. Frontal Lobe
2. Parietal Lobe
3. Occipital Lobe
4. Temporal Lobe
The Brain
• The fact that you are viewing this PowerPoint right now is evidence that this area of the cerebral cortex is working.
The BrainANSWER
• Occipital Lobe
The Brain
• Listening to your I-Pod means that you are using this area of your brain to hear it.
The BrainANSWER
• Temporal Lobe
The Brain
• Any time you sense someone touching your shoulder it is registered in this lobe of the brain.
The BrainANSWER
• Parietal Lobe
The Brain
• Many people believe the reason adolescents make poor decisions is because this area of the brain designated for planning and judgment is not yet fully developed.
The BrainANSWER
• Frontal Lobe
The Brain
• The 4 F’s of the Hypothalamus are:
The BrainANSWER
• Food
• Fight
• Flight
• Fornication
The Brain• Put the following steps of reading out loud in
order:• A. Broca’s Area produces the speech and
sends it to the motor cortex• B. The visual cortex in the occipital lobe
registers the words you see on the page.• C. Wernicke’s Area makes sense of what you
just read.• D. Angular Gyrus coverts visual cues into
auditory sounds.
The BrainANSWER
• B-D-C-A
The Brain
• The term that describes the belief that different areas of the brain have different functions.
The BrainANSWER
• Localization
The Brain
• The term for the different halves of the brain having different abilities.
The BrainANSWER
• Laterization
The Brain
• Motor cortex is organized according to how
a body part is.
The BrainANSWER
• Complex
The Brain
Sensory cortex is organized according to how
a body part is.
The BrainANSWER
• Sensitive
The Brain
• Any type of damage to your language abilities is known as…
The BrainANSWER
• Aphasia
The Brain
• The fact that other parts of the brain will pick up the function of an injured area shows the idea of is at work.
The BrainANSWER
• Plasticity
