This document provides an overview of the brain and biological psychology. It begins with an introduction to the major parts of the brain including structures like the cerebrum, cerebellum, hypothalamus, and amygdala. Later lessons discuss the lobes of the cerebral cortex, split brain research, neurons, and neurotransmitters. It also distinguishes between the nervous and endocrine systems. The document aims to explain how biological processes and systems impact human behavior.

This means you must locate all areas prior to coloring. 3. Meet with a partner to check each other’s work
- 26. Lobes and Areas of the Brain
- 27. Areas of the Cerebral Cortex • Divided into eight lobes, four in each hemisphere (frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal). • Any area not dealing with our senses or muscle movements are called association areas.
- 28. Frontal Lobe • Executive center of the brain. • Deals with planning, maintaining emotional control, abstract thought, and the storage of memories. • Contains Broca’s Area. • Contains Motor Cortex (Strip)
- 29. Parietal Lobes • Located at the top of our head. • Contains the Somasensory Cortex (Strip) • Rest are association areas.
- 30. Temporal Lobes • Process sound sensed by ears. • Not lateralized. • Contains Wernicke’s area.
- 31. Occipital Lobes • In the back of our head. • Contains the visual association area which handles visual information from the eyes. • Right half of each retina goes to left occipital lobe and vice versa.
- 32. Broca’s and Wernicke’s Areas • Broca’s Area • Located in the frontal lobe • Responsible for speaking • When damaged (aphasia) people speak slowly/laboriously with simple sentences • Wernicke’s Area • Located in the temporal lobe • Responsible for understanding speech • When damaged(aphasia) speech is meaningless

- 68. Autonomic Nervous System • Controls the automatic functions of the body. • Divided into two categories…the sympathetic and the parasympathetic • Memory Hint: Auto like automatic or autopilot. Don’t have to think or do.
- 70. Sympathetic Nervous System • Fight or Flight Response. • Automatically accelerates heart rate, breathing, dilates pupils, slows down digestion.
- 71. Parasympathetic Nervous System • Automatically slows the body down after a stressful event. • Heart rate and breathing slow down, pupils constrict and digestion speeds up. • Memory Hint: Para is like parachute. It slow us down.
