 | How the Body Works : The Frontal Lobe How the Body Works The Frontal Lobe The frontal lobe is the area of the cerebrum which has the greatest influence on personality development. |
 | Emotions in the brain Emotions in the brain |
 | Stress and Memory Now scientists are finding more about how stress affects our brains, from memory to the ability to make decisions. |
 | How the Body Works : The Regions of the Brain The Regions of the Brain The brain has three major functional and anatomical parts--the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebral hemispheres, thalami, hypothalamus and limbic system. The top inch of the brain stem is the midbrain. The hindbrain includes the cerebellum, the pons and the medulla. Other parts of the brain's anatomy include: the cerebral cortex, a thin layer of nerve cells on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres; the cerebrum, composed of many millions of nerve fibers, is covered by the cerebral cortex; the corpus callosum, a C-shaped collection of fibers, forms a bridge between the left and right hemispheres; the thalamus, which relays and receives messages to and from other areas of the brain; the limbic system, concerned with memory and emotion; the cerebellum, the largest part of the hindbrain and responsible for balance and the fine control of muscle movements; and the hypothalamus, which lies below the third ventricle of the brain, and regulates many of the body's functions and the activity of the pituitary gland. |
 | Brain Mind Lecture 6 Limbic System: Hallucinations, PTSD Brain Mind Lecture 6: Limbic System, Introductory Overview: Amygdala, Hypothalamus, Hippocampus, Hallucinations, Memory, Emotion, Sexuality, Amnesia, Flashbacks, PTSD, Brain Mind Lecture 6, Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D. http://BrainMind.com The video constitutes one of six Brain Mind Introductory Lectures, posted on youtube, each providing an introductory overview of the functional organization of the brain. To reduce confusion, all CT images have been reversed so damage on the left appears on the left, and right sided damage appear on the right. For a detailed presentation I recommend one of the best neuroscience texts of all time: the 2nd edition of Neuropsychiatry, Neuropsychology, Clinical Neuroscience, by Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D. These are introductory lectures providing an overview of the functional organization of the brain. Dr. Rhawn Joseph has published major scientific discoveries in prestigious scientific journals and has published several highly acclaimed "best selling" advanced post-graduate textbooks. In the 1970s he proved/discovered 1) the role of early environmental influences on learning, memory, attention, and impulse control, 2) the role of sex hormones and the lack of sex hormones on sex differences in behavior, cognition, learning, memory, and spatial ability, 3) neurplasticity and recovery of function in the primate brain and is considered one of the founding fathers of the field of Developmental Neuropsychology. Dr. Joseph also published major scientific discoveries on "split-brain" functioning and the duality of consciousness. He coined the term "limbic language." His theory of language first published and featured on the cover of the 1983 Journal of Clinical Psychology, has been widely accepted and scientifically verified and numerous scientists now claim the theory as theory as their own. Dr. Joseph's scholarly articles and monographs have been reprinted by major universities and medical schools, including Harvard, have been translated and republished by foreign scientific journals, and he has been invited to speak at the University of Geneva, Brigham Young University, the University of Japan, Santa Clara University, and the University of California at Berkeley. |
 | How the Body Works : Anatomy of the Hypothalamus How the Body Works Anatomy of the Hypothalamus Connected by many nerve tracts with the brain and spinal cord, the hypothalamus acts as a link between the endocrine system and the nervous system. It functions automatically, monitoring and regulating the autonomic nervous system as well as the state of the body's metabolism through eating, drinking, temperature control, sexual drives and "fight or flight" reactions. It also controls the menstrual cycle and is thought to contain a pleasure center. Finally, it directs hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland. The anatomy of the hypothalamus includes: The medial forebrain nerve bundle, which leads to the front area of the cerebral cortex. The fornix, a bundle of nerve fibers, which carries messages associated with memory from the limbic system. The "control centers", which are grouped together to form the core of the hypothalamus. The mamillothalamic tract, which is involved with the synthesis of emotions. The dorsal longitudinal bundle, which carries messages concerned with digestion to the brain stem. The pituitary portal system, which carries hypothalamic hormones to the anterior pituitary gland. The infundibular stalk, which connects the pituitary gland to the brain. The neurosecretory tracts, which channel hypothalamic hormones to the posterior pituitary gland, and the hypothalamic artery, which conducts oxygenated blood to the hypothalamus. Directly below the hypothalamus lies the anterior and posterior pituitary glands. The anterior pituitary gland secretes hormones under the control of the hypothalamus. |
 | How the Body Works : Memory How the Body Works Memory Memory involves the whole brain, but the indispensable regions include the hippocampi and the mammillary bodies. |
 | How your memory work? Due to the plasticity of connection between neuron in hippocampus, you can learn and collect information in the world every day! |
 | How the Body Works : Visual memory How the Body Works Visual memory Visual memory has been successfully located on the lateral surface of the right hemisphere. Mapping produces areas for simple verbal understanding, present in the parietal lobe, while the specialized activities are located in areas similar to those on the left hemisphere. |
