Brain Map

The frontal lobes control your personality, helps with problem solving, memory, language and judgement.  The frontal lobes also controls your critical thinking and problem solving skills.  The last part of your brain to develop is the frontal lobes and to prevent it from deteriorating you can do exercises, but it still deteriorates with age.  The neo cortex helps navigate your body, it controls your awareness, senses, and motor skills. The pre frontal cortex controls your personality also, and how you behave in social settings. There is a part of the pre frontal cortex that tries to prevent you from doing two things at the same time.  The broca's area is responsible for speech production and language comprehension, tongue twisters may help improve part of your brain.  The sensory cortex is the part of your brain that is responsible for interpreting information from your senses. Your visual cortex helps you differentiate colors and recognize faces.  Parts of your occipital lobe sense motion and process visual information.  The occipital lobe helps you process short and long term memories. If your temporal lobes were damaged, you would have trouble remembering things because this is where your brain stores memories. Your fast brain picks up information in milliseconds. A neurotransmitter that is important to me is glycine, because it is used by neurons in the spinal cord which is really important.  The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Listening to music can strengthen your corpus callosum.  The thalamus has nerve networks that send signals to the brain.
Relate and Review: 
In this brain map stimulation, I got to see the different parts of the brain and their functions. I also got to read more interesting facts about the different parts and figure out what would happen if these different parts were damaged. In the stimulation I got to read about the frontal lobes, neo cortex, occipital lobe, frontal cortex, the sensory cortex, and much more.  It helped me more understand how people are different, like how the pre frontal cortex controls your personality and how you behave in social settings showed me how some one with a different pre frontal cortex could be completely different. Also how the man who damaged his frontal lobes how his friends said he was a totally different person after the injury shows how important your brain is.
