1. The frontal lobe is responsible for a person's personality but it also controls language, judgment and impulse, and problem solving.
2. Relationship between learning and selective attention is that learning is a person's capacity to respond to certain stimuli when activated simultaneously and learning is
3. The frontal lobe is the last part of the brain to develop. People can help prevent it from deteriorating by choosing to not "zone out" and instead, focusing on their environment and the five senses. In addition, transforming information by looking at the bigger picture or analyzing things is better than just memorizing and it helps exercise the frontal lobe.
4. The neo cortex governs the senses, spatial awareness and motor skills and is very receptive to environmental enrichment.
5. The prefrontal cortex controls a person's personality and is responsible for how a person behaves.
6. In addition, the pre-frontal cortex prevents people from multitasking.
7. Broca's area is the section of the brain responsible for speech and language development. One interesting fact about this area is that it also helps people know how to respond to social cues.
8. The somatosensory cortex is the area that conveys touch and where the body responds to receptors such as temperature.
9. The visual cortex help people distinguish color and differentiate faces and other complex things such as that.
10. Some interesting things about the occipital lobe are that it helps people visualize themselves doing certain things when they concentrate on it, it helps people understand their place in the world, and it processes the imaginary.
11. If the temporal lobes were damaged, people would forget simple things such as where they put their keys or how to get to the park.
12. The "fast brain" is the portion of the brain that works quickly to respond to immediate signals or stressors.
Neuron
13. Three things that I could do to influence my synapses would be to practice my reflexes, exercise more to get them firing, or doing speed or memory games to work the brain. These would all positively influence my life as they would be helping me exercise both my body and my brain.
14. Multisensory or multimodal learning is where students are being taught to use more than one of their sense to learn things. This can be very beneficial for students with disabilities as it allows them to sense things in different ways to enhance their learning. The ability for dendrite growth is thought to play a role in learning and memory formation.
15. Big picture thinking and mnemonics affects dendrites and/or learning because dendrite spine plasticity and the synaptic connections store meaningful information used for learning. Therefore these devices and affect the dendrite spines.
16. A neurotransmitter that is important is norepinephrine since it plays a role in wakefulness, learnin, and memory. This is essential to the human body as it helps us to continue to learn and to grow, helping develop a person to their full potential.
Limbic System
17. The corpus callosum divides the brain into the left and right hemisphere and conveys the messages between the tw. For example the right eye's information is conveyed to the left hemisphere of the brain.
18. Music and the corpus callosum are related because it has been researched that musicians have larger corpus callosums as musical training increases the plasticity of the corpus callosum.
19. The thalamus is important because it is involved in sensory perception and relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex.
Relate and Review
The different parts of the brain each play significant roles in a person's development, both physically and mentally. For example, the neo cortex is responsible for motor control and spatial awareness while the prefrontal cortex plays a large role in a person's personality and behaviour. In addition to sections of the brain, neurotransmitters are extremely important in a person's development. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, GABA, dopamine, and nor-epinephrine are involved in a person's memory, learning, and more. The corpus callosum and thalamus, parts of the limbic system, are also important as they help convey information from the brain to other parts of the body.
