1 A Piece of Your Mind: Brain Anatomy Neuron Credit FCTI

2 CEREBRUM: Frontal Lobe Frontal Lobe: Responsible espo s b e for o thinking ga and d ccreativity ea y The motor area is located within the frontal lobe Color the Frontal Lobe Purple

3 CEREBRUM: Parietal Lobe Parietal Lobe: Controls memory of objects and their uses, and directions Contains C t i th the S Sensory A Area, which hi h receives i sensory messages such as touch, pain and temperature from the rest of the body Color the Parietal Lobe Green

4 CEREBRUM: Motor & Sensory Areas Motor area Sensory area Motor Area: Located at the back of the Frontal Lobe Sensory Area: Located at the front of the Parietal Lobe

5 CEREBRUM: Temporal Lobes Temporal Lobes (one on each side of brain): Control C t lh hearing, i speech, h and d memory Color the Temporal Lobe Orange (the other temporal lobe is on the other side and is not shown)

6 CEREBRUM: Occipital Lobes Occipital lobes: Nerve impulses p from eyes y are received and turned into images g Color the Occipital Lobes Blue (There are two occipital lobes, one on each side - only 1 is shown in this diagram)

7 CEREBRUM: Insular Lobe Insular Lobe: Located under other four lobes - it cannot be seen without pushing aside the frontal and temporal lobes (Beneath (B th Fl Flap iin your di diagram)) It may control behavior related to feelings Color the Insular Lobe White

8 Planes of the Body Coronal Horizontal Understanding the planes of the body will help as you study the structure and function of the brain (and other parts of the body, too) Sagittal

9 Cerebellum (Cross Section of Brain) You are looking at a Sagittal Cross Section of the Brain Cerebellum or Little Brain" This structure controls movement, posture, and balance It may also play a role in learning (cognitive development) Color the Cerebellum Red

10 Diencephalon (Cross Section of Brain) Located below the two hemispheres of the cerebrum and above the brain stem You are looking at a Sagittal Cross Section of the Brain Contains thalamus, hypothalamus, optic tracts, part of the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland Color the Diencephalon Green

11 Brain Stem (Cross Section of Brain) You are looking at a Sagittal Cross Section of the Brain Brain Stem: Connects to the spinal cord Divided into three parts (see next slide) Color the Brainstem Blue

12 Brain Stem (Enlarged from previous slide) Pons: motor control and sensory analysis some structures within the Pons are linked to the cerebellum, thus are involved in movement and posture Midbrain: controls functions such as vision, hearing, eye movement, and body movement Medulla Oblongata: Located between the Pons and the Spinal cord controls vital body functions, such as breathing and heart rate

13 CAINE Project Funding CAINE Project made possible by funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Grant # R25 DA NIDA is one of 27 institutes & centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH) NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research
