The Brain
The Cerebral Hemispheres: Left and Right
Mapping the Brain
Exterior Structure
Regions of the brain in the Cerebral Cortex
Frontal Lobes: i. Primary motor cortexii. Broca’s Area
Parietal Lobes: i. Primary sensory cortexii. Angular gyrus
Occipital Lobes: i. Primary visual area
Temporal Lobes: i. Primary auditory areaii. Wernicke’s area
Additional structures
Brain Stem: links nervous system and brain
Cerebellum: stores motor movements, responsible for balance
The Discovery of the brain regions: how do we know?
Experiments: apes, patients with nerurological disorders
Advances in technology: fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) Kim & Hirsch (1997)
Oliver Sacks case studies: illustrate how people think/ gives insight into brain damage to certain regions
