    The document discusses the different parts of the brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The cerebrum controls higher functions like thought and action. The cerebellum controls voluntary movement and the brain stem controls basic functions like breathing and heart rate. Early development in the first three years is critical for brain development.

    The Powers of the Mind


    BRAINPOWER:
    Complex Organ Controls Your
    Every
    Thought and Move
    The Brain

    • It is the wrinkled, pinkish-gray, three-pound organ that is


    primarily composed of fat and water.

    • the organ inside the head that controls thought,


    memory, feelings, and activity.

    • It also stores information that we use for everyday living.


    The Power to Act
    • The brain is made up of three main parts:
    All of these has different
    Cerebellum compositions, use and
    properties that sums up
    our brain that shows it
    Cerebrum
    is the one responsible
    for the movement of
    Brain Stem
    things, the process and
    others.
    Brain Stem
    The brain stem is the stem-like
    part of the base of the brain that is
    connected to the spinal cord.

    The brain stem controls the flow of messages


    between the brain and the rest of the body, and it
    also controls basic body functions such as breathing,
    swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure,
    consciousness, and whether one is awake or sleepy.
    Cerebellum
    • This is responsible for all voluntary
    movement made by man.
    • When a thought is formed the cerebellum
    translates this and turns it into action.
    EXAMPLES
    • When you want to stand
    • Wave your hand
    • Cheat on an exam
    • Wink at your crush
    • This is made possible by a special type of cell called neurons.
    • These are three part units consisting of a nerve cell body, axon, and a
    dendrite.
    • They carry a signal from one neuron to another with the help of a
    chemical called neurotransmitters.
    • It is carried until it reaches a specific muscle that will carry out the job.
    Cerebrum
    • The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of
    the brain. It is associated with higher brain
    function such as thought and action.
    • This comprises 85 percent of the brain’s total weight.
    • It consist of four lobes. The frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital
    each having different functions.
    • The frontal lobe determines personality and emotions.
    • The parietal helps us understand what we see and feel.
    • The occipital works on vision function.
    • And hearing and word recognition abilities are handled by the
    temporal lobe
    A Critical Age
    • The first three years of a person’s life is where the potential
    to learn is developed.
    • That is when synaptogenesis, or the creation of pathways
    for brain cells to communicate, occurs.
    • Doctors have proven this when removing certain sections
    of the brain from patients who are three year old the
    remaining sections develop to assume the role of the
    missing part. This could not be said to patient who are
    older.
    • Also depriving infants of stimuli lead to permanent
    changes to the brain.
    Drug Damage
    • Obviously drugs can affect the mind of any person.
    • Inhalants such as glue, or rugby destroy the outer
    lining of nerve cells and make them unable to
    communicate with one another.
    • Marijuana hinders memory, learning, judgement and
    reaction times.
    • Steroids lead to aggression and violent mood swings.
    • Ecstasy destroys nerves that produce serotonin which
    controls sleep, violence, mood swings and sexual
    urges.
    Answer the following:
    Written Works: (PerDev Notebook)
    1. Independent assessment 1
    2. What’s More
    3. Independent assessment 2

    Performance Task: (oslo paper)


    1. What Can I do
    What Can I do
    • Make an illustration/poster about climate change. Write a
    short reflection on how you use your knowledge about the
    different ways to improve your brain functions for personal
    development in dealing with our situation right now.
