Reyes ESE370: Learning & the Brain (CXI1409A) Instructor: Charisse Jones March 9‚ 2014 Brain Structures and Functions Many are fascinated by the brain and its functions. Our brain is composed of different units and lobes that work together but each part‚ of course‚ has a special function. We all ask ourselves‚ how is it that we learn? Do our senses have anything to do with getting new information into our brain? Technology now allows us to look into our brains and

October 26‚ 2014 Dr. Gigi Servis The brain is separated into four main lobes‚ which include the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are located on the front and the top area of the brain. Their major functions

cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain‚ associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections‚ called "lobes": the frontal lobe‚ parietal lobe‚ occipital lobe‚ and temporal lobe .Each hemisphere is divided into 5 lobes: Occipital‚ Parietal‚ Frontal‚ Piriform‚ and Temporal. 22) Regarding male-female

up to her to tell her it was time to go. Frontal Lobe: The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of humans and other mammals‚ at the front of each cerebral hemisphere. It is in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobes. The story that old of the trip to the fire station would have maybe included how the fireman organized a “stop‚ drop‚ and roll” activity in which each person would practice the exercise. The frontal lobe responsible for motor skills

3) Cite the five differences in male and female brain? The size of the brain in both male and female are different‚ males are said to have larger brain than the female. Thou in females the frontal lobe is larger‚ frontal lobe is used for problem solving and decision making .In males the parietal cortex is larger‚ the function of this space perception and regulation of sexual for social behavior. Woman’s brain have tighter packed neurons which explains why a female brain works faster for score

to the brains of other mammals‚ but with a more developed and evolved cerebral cortex. Much of the size of the human brain comes from the cerebral cortex‚ especially the frontal lobes‚ which are associated with executive functions such as self-control‚ planning‚ reasoning‚ and abstract thought. Before talking about the lobes. The most important part must be talked about and that is the human nervous system. The human nervous system has two major components and those are the central nervous system (CNS)

differences in brain areas involving intelligence. Men had more gray areas than women. Women had more white matter. In men‚ the gray matter was split between their frontal and parietal lobes. Their white matter was located in the temperal lobes. In women‚ the gray matter as well as the white matter‚ was concentrated in the frontal lobes. Based on the examples from the text‚ I believe that men’s and women’s brains are specialized in different ways. Their have been many studies that have shown this to be

Frontal lobe - responsible for decision making‚ problem solving‚ controling behaviour and emotions. Parietal lobe - responsible for sensory information from the body‚ also where letters are formed‚ putting things in order and spatial awareness. Occipital lobe - responsible for processing information related to vision.

how procrastination maybe a good thing for students by explain in two aspects. First‚ I will apply this phenomenon of putting off review before exam to the difference of short-term memory and long-term memory. Then I will explain how frontal lobe among other lobes contributes to the decision of procrastination. I am a lot worse than I was at procrastinating last year when I was new in college. I am getting my work done later and later. Sometimes I won’t start working my problem sets until the last
