Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The brain is a complex system that controls various activities. The limbic system is a set of brain structures that are present beneath the thalamus. The limbic system is involved in emotion, memory, learning, and motivation. Amygdala is an almond-shaped mass of nuclei located near the base of the cerebrum. It controls the emotional memory such as a frightening event that can trigger faster heart rate, sweating or fear. The medulla oblongata is the lower part of the brain stem. It deals with the autonomic functions, homeostatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. The cerebellum is a part of the hindbrain. It controls involuntary activities such as blood circulation and coordinates motor activities such as locomotion.

- The concept of “labeled lines” states that each nerve input to the brain reports only a particular type of information, such as auditory versus visual information. Does this happen because the nature of the nerve fibers conveying the information is unique or because the nature of the brain location where the signals are received is unique? How do you know this?arrow_forwardIf the mind is not included in the set of things considered to be physical, then this would mean that the mind is non-physical and therefore distinct from the physical brain. Is it possible that there are non physical components of reality and can the mind be different from the physical brain?arrow_forwardCoordination and timing of movements and balance are functions of which of the following brain structures? a- basal ganglia b- motor cortex c- midbrain motor centers d- cerebellumarrow_forward
- Which of the following brain regions is not correctly matched to itsfunction?a. The medulla oblongata regulates heartbeat, breathing, and bloodpressure.b. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary muscle movements.c. The thalamus secretes melatonin, which regulates daily bodyrhythms.d.

Unhurt but embarrassed and angry, you jump up and glance around to see if anyone is watching. From your knowledge of neuroanatomy and function, explain how the following areas of the brain might be involved in this scenario: cerebrum cerebellum limbic systemarrow_forward1. John was involved in a car accident that smashed in the whole left side of his head. His left ear is damaged completely, and he will probably lose vision in his left eye. His whole right side was completely untouched. He is currently in a medically induced coma, but doctors know that he will survive. However, they are not able to fully assess what will be affected and how John will function when he awakens. Speculate how each of the following aspects of the brain and nervous system could influence John’s recovery in the coming weeks and months. State how John will be affected and how he will function. a) Endorphins b) Brain Plasticity c) Hemispheric Specializationarrow_forward
