Document Summary

Coordination: four lobes, frontal, primary motor cortex, planning, impulse control, abstract thinking etc. , phineas gage, parietal, somatosensory cortex (touch, parallels the motor cortex, temporal, auditory cortex (hearing, memory, emotion, occipital, primary visual cortex. The t(cid:449)o hal(cid:448)es of the (cid:272)ere(cid:271)ru(cid:373) ha(cid:448)e differe(cid:374)t pro(cid:272)essi(cid:374)g (cid:862)styles(cid:863) Right hemisphere insight and solutions to ides. The corpus collosum is how these two halves communicate words) Females have a larger one than males. Upper reticular formation: wakefulness, top of the brain stem. Learning, selection for lasting memory, short term memory: transferring information in immediate memories to long term memories. When you compress brain cells you see phosphines (seeing stars because you stimulating brain cells all at once) This is also what happens when a tumor grows (it presses on adjoining system which can stimulate behaviors and needs e. g. hunger) Emotional significance of stimuli (especially fear or aggression)
