* Interest and research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions

The Brain Brainstem The brain stem plays an important role in basic attention‚ arousal‚ and consciousness. It contains the medulla oblongata‚ cerebellum‚ midbrain and pons. Its functions include things that you need to survive‚ such as breathing‚ digestion‚ heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ and arousal which makes you awake and alert.All information from our body passes through the brain stem on the way to the brain. Medulla Oblangata The medulla oblongata connects the brain and spinal cord.

In Colonial days‚ it was thought that the left hand was the devil’s hand. Being left-handed could even get a person accused and convicted of witchcraft. Even within the past century‚ left-handedness was frowned upon. Teachers and parents of a young lefty would sometimes tie the left hand behind the child’s back to discourage use.

Language and the brain Many people assume the physical basis of language lies in the lips‚ the tongue‚ or the ear. But deaf and mute people can also possess language fully. People who have no capacity to use their vocal cords may still be able to comprehend language and use its written forms. And human sign language‚ which is based on visible gesture rather than the creation of sound waves‚ is an infinitely creative system just like spoken forms of language. But the basis of sign language

Plane of the Eclipt. Because of Earth’s tilt‚ different regions of earth receive different amounts of direct and indirect sunlight. We call these various periods of time the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun it is experiencing summer‚ simultaneously‚ the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing winter‚ because it is tilted away from the Sun. During the Winter‚ the days are shorter because the sun rays hit the Earth at such an extreme angle. During the summer‚ days are longer

If each of the following brain parts individually was damaged‚ what would be the consequence and why? Hippocampus‚ hypothalamus‚ cerebellum‚ reticular formation‚ medulla Hippocampus is important for forming lasting memories. The hippocampus lies inside the temporal lobes‚ which is why stimulating the temporal lobes can produce memory like or dream like experiences. Hippocampus damage can result in anterograde amnesia which is the loss of ability to form new memories. Someone who sustains an
