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.
