The Brain - Coggle Diagram
The Brain
human Brain- responsible for logic and reasoning. Neocortex. Responsible for language, abstract, thought, imagination, consciousness. This part of the brain rationalizes and reasons.
The cortex: last part of the brain to evolve, the outside of the brain. Responsible for thinking. What makes us who we are and is sectioned off in lobes.
Frontal
located in the front of the brain (hints the name) controls reasoning, motor, cognition (the higher levels), and language
motor cortex- carries out body movements: toes, ankle, knee, hip, trunk, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, thumbs, neck, eyebrows, eyelids, face, lips, jaw, tongue, salivation, chewing, swallowing
Phineas Gage had a railroad spike go through his head and survived but he soon after he made bad decisions which was unlike him.
temporal: located at the bottom of the brain (by the temples) responsible for the auditory part of the brain. (understanding sound and language.)
Hippocampus: responsible for the storage of memories.- looks like a sea-horse
occipital- located at the back part of the brain-- responsible for vision
We know when something is wrong with the occipital lobe is when you aren't seeing 2020
parietal- responsible for sensory info like pressure, touch and pain.
somatosensory cortex- responsible for understanding/processing the senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing, & sight.)
mammalian brain- responsible for complex reactions and feelings. The Limbic System. Responsible for emotions, memories, and habits. This part makes decisions.
The midbrain: In the middle for the brain, responsible for fighting, feeding, fleeing and behavior relating to reproductive area, and emotion.
Thalamus: responsible for movement and the sensory part of the brain. It basically takes in and relays information.
Hypothalamus: works with other parts of the brain and is responsible for hunger, thirst, emotions, body temp. Regulation and sleep cycles.
Amygdala: controls negative emotions and fear, looks like an almond.
Lizard brain- Responsible for basic functions. Brain stem & cerebellum, fight or flight, autopilot.
The brain stem located at the spinal cord
operates survival part of the brain. It is essential and if it is damaged then it could be fatal. Controls the heartbeat and breathing. Also controls focusing.
parts of the brain stem:
medulla- responsible for heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.
Pons: responsible for movement for the body
cerebellum: responsible for coordination of motor movement and memory and learning.
reticular formation: responsible for sleep and attention
ZOMBIE BRAIN
Traits of zombies
Stagger walk; hold arms up and walk around clumsily unlike normal people walking around with coordination
issues caused by cerebellum (coordination) & basal ganglia (movement and behavior)
undying appetite
when we eat we get full & aren't cannibals zombies never are not hungry and are cannibals.
issues with the hypothalamus are the reasoning for them being hungry all the time.
deathly rage
we normally get angry and rage but we usually return to the normal state zombies however are aggressive and violent and attack humans. They are like Mr. Boheman and can not be reasoned with
issues in the amygala (controls emotions) is the reason for this rage
lack of intelligence
humans can problem solve & communicate. We can make very complicated decisions. Zombies on the other hand are very stupid they can't even operate doors and can't think ahead. they can not problem solve and communicate other than grunts.
issues in the frontal lobe (reasoning, motor skills, higher levels of cognition and expressive language) is affected when there is stupidity with zombies
