The Brain: Older Brain Structures
The Brainstem is the oldest part of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells and enters the skull. It is responsible for automatic survival
functions.

Brainstem
The Medulla [muh-DUL-uh] is the base
of the brainstem that controls heartbeat
and breathing.

Brainstem
The Thalamus [THAL-uh-muss] is the brain’s sensory switchboard, located on top of the brainstem. It directs
messages to the sensory areas in the cortex and transmits
replies to the cerebellum and
medulla.

Brainstem
Reticular Formation is a nerve network in the brainstem that plays an important role in controlling
arousal.

Techniques to Study the Brain
A brain lesion experimentally
destroys brain tissue to study animal behaviors after such destruction.

Clinical ObservationClinical observations have shed light on a
number of brain disorders. Alterations in brain morphology due to neurological and
psychiatric diseases are now being catalogued.

MRI ScanMRI (magnetic
resonance imaging) uses magnetic fields and
radio waves to produce computer-generated
images that distinguish among different types of brain tissue. Top images
show ventricular enlargement in a
schizophrenic patient. Bottom image shows brain regions when a

The Limbic System is a doughnut-shaped system of neural
structures at the border of the brainstem and cerebrum, associated with emotions such as fear, aggression and
drives for food and sex. It includes the hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus.

Amygdala
The Amygdala [ah-MIG-dah-la] consists of two lima bean-sized neural clusters linked to the emotions of fear and
anger.

Hypothalamus
The Hypothalamus lies below (hypo) the thalamus. It directs several maintenance activities like eating,
drinking, body temperature, and
control of emotions. It helps govern the
endocrine system via the pituitary gland.

The Cerebral Cortex
The intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells that covers the cerebral hemispheres. It is the body’s ultimate control and information processing center.
![Page 18: 1 EXPLORING PSYCHOLOGY (7th Edition in Modules) David Myers PowerPoint Slides Aneeq Ahmad Henderson State University Worth Publishers, © 2008.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bff71a28abf838cbe7be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Structure of the Cortex
Each brain hemisphere is divided into four
lobes that are separated by
prominent fissures. These lobes are the
frontal lobe (forehead), parietal lobe (top to rear head), occipital lobe (back head) and temporal lobe (side of
head).
![Page 19: 1 EXPLORING PSYCHOLOGY (7th Edition in Modules) David Myers PowerPoint Slides Aneeq Ahmad Henderson State University Worth Publishers, © 2008.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051622/5697bff71a28abf838cbe7be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Functions of the Cortex
The Motor Cortex is the area at the rear of the frontal lobes that control voluntary movements. The Sensory Cortex (parietal cortex) receives
information from skin surface and sense organs.

Auditory Function
The functional MRI scan shows the
auditory cortex is active in patients who
hallucinate.

More intelligent animals have increased “uncommitted” or association areas of the
cortex.

LanguageAphasia is an impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to
Broca’s area (impaired speaking) or to Wernicke’s area (impaired understanding).

The brain is sculpted by our genes but also by our experiences.
Plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to modify itself after some types of injury or illness.

Our Divided Brain
Our brain is divided into two hemispheres. The left hemisphere processes reading,
writing, speaking, mathematics, and comprehension skills. In the 1960s, it was
termed as the dominant brain.

Splitting the BrainA procedure in which the two hemispheres of the brain are isolated by cutting the connecting fibers
(mainly those of the corpus callosum) between them.

Non-Split Brains
People with intact brains also show left-right hemispheric differences in mental abilities.
A number of brain scan studies show normal individuals engage their right brain when completing a perceptual task and their left brain when carrying out a linguistic task.
