THE BRAIN - Coggle Diagram
THE BRAIN
- Cerebral Hemispheres (Left & Right joined by Corpus Callosum)
- Frontal Lobe (Planning, language, decisions)
- Parietal Lobe (Body sensations)
- Temporal Lobe (Auditory, memory)
-
- Thalamus (Gateway for sensory info)
- Hypothalamus (Regulates hormones and drives)
- Pons (Connects medulla/cerebrum, transfers info)
- Cerebellum (Balance, coordination, tone, cognitive/language roles)
- Medulla Oblongata (Breathing, heart rate, survival processes)
- Amygdala (Arousal, fear, anger)
- Basal Ganglia (Movement coordination)
- Cingulate Gyrus (Directs attention, links emotion to memory)
- Left Brain (Language, controls right side of body)
- Right Brain (Visual, controls left side of body)
- Dynamic (Both sides work together; nobody is just right or left-brained)
- Adaptability (Brain's resilience; shown in Callosotomy & Hemispherectomy)
- Evolution (Cortical layer is folded like crumpled paper to pack complexity)
- Energy (Weighs 2% of body weight but uses 20% of oxygen & calories)
- Central Nervous System (CNS)
- Brain (Thinking, feeling, memory)
- Spinal Cord (Conducts signals, controls activities)
- Gray Matter (Neurons with cell bodies/soma, holds genetic material)
- White Matter (Myelin-covered axons, electrical signals)
- Reticular Formation (Sleep-wake, consciousness, filters sensory info)
