PSYCH 100 1st Edition Lecture 6 Outline of Last Lecture I. The Brain IntroII. Studying the BrainIII. Major Structures in BrainOutline of Current Lecture I. Midbrain-The Limbic SystemII. Forebrain: Cerebral CortexCurrent LectureI. Midbrain- The Limbic System- Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Amygdala, HippocampusA. Amygdala- Associated with aggression and fear, sometimes called the “social brain”B. Hypothalamus-Maintenance of hunger, thirst, temperature, will not instantly tell you that you are full when eating, causing to overeat C. Hippocampus- Memory process, where memories go and begin to process when asleep, alcohol prevents hippocampus from entering R.E.M sleep and make memories from the day much harder to remember. -Does not fully develop or reach maturity till age three, not enough brain structure to remember childhood memories. II. Forebrain: Cerebral CortexA. Higher level thinking, divided into “lobes”B. Cerebral Cortex is the brain’s outer bark layerC. Lobes of the brain: Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal lobeD. Frontal Lobe- “CEO of the brain”, judgment, decision-making, planning, personality?E. Parietal Lobe- Integration of sensory information and spatial navigationF. Motor and Sensory cortex- part of frontal and parietal lobe, motor cortex helps complete motor movements and plan themG. Occipital Lobe- Visual processing, what if we are blind?? The lobe is used for other sensesH. Temporal lobe- auditory processing, helps us recognize objects and facesThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
