The average american takes a shower everyday for 8 minutes long. During their shower the average american is not thinking about what part of their brain is allowing them to do certain tasks. In this paper I will be writing about what part of my brain helps me do certain tasks during my shower.
I want to start of by mentioning, it looks like i’m not an average american. My showers are 30 minutes long. The reason my showers are so long is because I like to listen to music and just reflect on how my day went. I usually find my self taking showers anywhere from 11pm-3am. Those hours are very late and I often feel every tired before I shower, but thanks to my reticular formation which is responsible for consciousness I don't fall asleep in the shower.

The parietal lobe processes information on touch and that helps me turn the shower handle. I personally enjoy very hot showers my hypothalamus which is responsible for controlling body temperature make sure that my body doesn’t over heat due to the hot water being poured on my body. Sometimes in the shower I find myself giving a every emotional full performance that I run out of breath. Thanks to my medulla which helps regulate breathing, I don't pass out in the shower while performing a concert for all my invisible fans. While putting on my little concert I love to dance and copy moves I see other artists doing at concerts. Thanks to my frontal lobes that help with motor functions, memory, and judgement I am able to recall steps I have seen at concert. Judgement comes into this because I have to decide if ill have enough space in the shower to bust out some Chris Brown dance moves or if I only have space to do some Drake moves. After I catch my breath after performing my sick dance moves I have to shampoo and condition my hair. Thanks to my occipital lobes which is responsible for visual information I am able to identify which one is the shampoo bottle and which one is the conditioner bottle. My cerebellum helps me
“The frontal lobe is used with memory for habits”. Baseball players use this part of the brain to help himself perfect their swing and to swing the same way every swing. They work on their mechanics of their swing repeatedly. The frontal lobe helps to build good habit in baseball. “The occipital lobe deals with vision”. Baseball players use the occipital lobe to determine whether a pitch is in the strike zone.The difference between a ball and a strike could be an inch. This is why baseball players need to use their parietal lobe. Baseball players use the parietal lobe to hit a baseball. Finally, the brainstem controls reflexes. Baseball players need the brainstem when a line drive is hit right at them. Reflexes dictate whether your gonna get hit or catch the
The system consists of the eyes where the information is collected, geniculate lateral nucleus and visual cortex. The visual cortex could be subdivided into the primary visual cortex and the striate cortex. This sensory system is located at the back of a brain parts of which are located in both hemispheres. Recent studies obtained a sufficient amount of information in order to construct the two-stream hypothesis, which describes the ventral and dorsal streams. The ventral stream begins at the primary visual cortex and goes to the inferior temporal cortex. Main functional responsibilities of this area include identification of objects and the emergence of the long-term memory the origins of which are placed in this area (Rauschecker, Josef P and Sophie K. Scott 722). Dorsal stream also begins at the primary visual cortex and ends at the posterior parietal cortex. It is mainly responsible for the body part control required in order to manipulate an object. The research shows that these "what" and "why" systems are not directly related, and the damage in one affect the other only to a certain extent. It could be explained by the fact that that input is transformed differently via action and
The Frontal lobe; which is to do with behaviour, the person’s personality, interpretation and feelings.
The parietal lobes are located behind the frontal lobes and in front of theoccipital lobes. They process sensory information such as temperature, pain,taste, and touch. In addition, the processing includes information about numbers, attentiveness to the position of one 's body parts, the space around one 's body, and one 's relationship to this space.
My best friends invited me over for pizza and a friendly game of cards and the Broca’s area, which deals with language and speech; the hippocampus, that plays a crucial part in memory; the hypothalamus, partly controlling my body’s endocrine and hormone- producing system and the occipital lobe allowing me to see all that goes on around me, all are parts of my brain which was involved during the evening of eating pizza, socializing, and playing cards with my friends.
Main Point Introduction: Another advantage of the showers is the reduction of depression and risk of serious mental health.
The frontal area is the brain’s largest lobe and the most common area of damage in football players. The frontal lobes are where reason and thinking takes place. It is responsible for voluntary movement, attention span, and judgment. The frontal lobe regulates mood and emotion.
Maybe you realize that you've taken 365 showers in the last year and getting rid of the tub will create some much-needed room. Perhaps your shower cubicle is showing its age. Then again, you may just want to create something that expresses your own style.
The frontal lobe is responsible for decision making, processing (like planning), and speech fluency. In our exhibit, the frontal lobe is represented by stimulating activities including tongue twisters and a “chose your

In addition, the limbic system is responsible for our perception of other emotions, both positive and negative, which explains the mood altering properties of many drugs. The cerebral cortex is divided into areas that control specific functions. Different areas process information from our senses, enabling us to see, feel, hear, and taste. The front part of the cortex, the frontal cortex or forebrain, is the thinking center of the brain, it powers our ability to think, plan, solve problems, and make decisions.

The Broca’s area, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and occipital lobes all play major roles in our brain activity and are necessary for the human body to perform and carry out certain tasks. They each play individual roles that are vital and must come together and function with each other to allow us to participate in everyday activities. They let us hangout with our best friends and be able to interact

The cortex consists of four sections, called "lobes". The frontal lobe is connected to reasoning, planning, speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with balance, recognizing, and movement. The occipital lobe is associated with vision. The temporal lobe is connected to hearing, memory, and speech. The cortex is highly wrinkled, making the brain more convenient, as this increases the brain's surface area, giving it more room for neurons. The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres- the left hemisphere, and the right hemisphere. The right hemisphere is associated with creativity, and the left one is linked with logic. A bundle of nerve fibers, known as the corpus callosum connects these "hemispheres" (Brain Structures and their Functions). The cerebellum, which is also known as the "little brain", is similar to the cerebrum, since it also has two hemispheres and a highly folded surface. This part of the brain is linked with movement and balance. The cerebellum is assumed to be older than the cerebrum "evolutionarily" (Brain Structures and Their Functions). The brain stem controls basic life functions such as blood pressure, breathing, and heartbeat. Scientists say that the brain stem is the simplest part of the brain (Brain Structures and Their Functions).
