outline day 4
1.) Preview: An important part of the brain is the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the fabric that covers the two hemispheres. In the hemispheres there are four areas. The frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe. There are small regions within the lobes that control muscle movements and get information from the senses of the body. Some of the regions of the brain have specific jobs to do. The jobs of the brain are split up and then eventually integrated through neural networks. If a region of the brain is damaged when you are young, another region will pick up its tasks. This shows the brain’s plasticity. As we age, the brain becomes less plastic.

Outline day 5
Preview: The brain is a very important part of the body. There are many effects that can occur when a brain is damaged. CT, MRI, EEG, and PET scans are some of the procedures that can be done to reveal brain structures. To do this, the instruments used during the procedure electrically stimulate specific areas of the brain. It also records the brain’s electrical activity on the surface. Another interesting fact about brains is the divided brain. The left hemisphere is known to be crucial for language. Research has found that the left hemisphere tends to be more verbal and the right hemisphere is more visual. The functions of both sides come together to complete the brain. There is also the endocrine system which is the body’s slower information system. It accomplishes its tasks by releasing it’s hormones from the endocrine glands.

Outline day one
1.) Preview: The nervous system consists of billions of cells called neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by receiving information through the dendrite, sending the impulse through the axon. When this impulse reaches the axon terminal end there is gap to the next neuron. The axon terminal end signals neurotransmitters to go across the gap and combine receptor sites. This allows the impulse or “message” to go to the next neuron. There are many different types of neurotransmitters. Researchers are studying how some drugs mimic neurotransmitter and other stop neurotransmitters from working.

nervousy system outline
1.) Preview : The Nervous System id the electrochemical system that allows the body to communicate. It contains all of the nerves from both the peripheral and the central nervous system. The peripheral system links the central nervous system to the sensory receptors. The sensory neurons, the interneurons, and the motor neurons provide the nervous system with its information. The brain and spinal cord receive information from the organs and tissues through the sensory neurons. This process is allowed because of the interneurons which are the most complex.

day threee outline
1.) Preview: The lower level structures of the brain are very important. First, there is the brainstem which is formed where the spinal cord swells and forms he medulla. The medulla regulates heartbeats and breathing. The reticular formation resides within the brainstem. It controls arousal. On the top of the brainstem there is the thalamus. The thalamus is considered to be the sensory switchboard of the brain. On the back of the brainstem id the cerebellum which coordinates muscle movement. In between the brainstem and the cerebral cortex is where the limbic system resides. The limbic system contains the amygdala, the hypothalamus and the hippocampus. The amygdale is involved in responses of aggression and fear. The hypothalamus is in control of bodily maintenance functions. Finally the hippocampus is in control of memory.
