BRAIN

1. Introduction

   • most complex part
   • 3-pound organ seat of:
     • intelligence
     • interpreter of senses
     • initiator of body movement
     • controller of behavior

2. Architechture of brain

   • forebrain
     • cerebrum
       • respiration
       • hold memories
   • midbrain
     • reflex actions
     • voluntary movement
   • hindbrain
     • cerebellum
       • respiration

3. Geography of thought

   • frontal lobes
     • plan schedule
   • motor area
     • control voluntary movement
   • broca's area
     • transform thoughts into words
   • parietal lobes
     • enjoy good meal, taste, aroma
   • primary sensory area
     • receive information-temperature, taste, touch
   • occipital lobes
     • process image
   • temporal lobes
     • integrate memories

4. Cerebral cortex

   • coating surface of cerebrum and cerebellum
   • "gray matter"

5. Inner brain

   • hypothalamus
     • emotional center
   • thalamus
     • information going to and from spinal cord and cerebrum
   • hippocamus
     • memory indexer

6. Making connection

   • cell body
     • nucleus-manufacture molecules(neuron need to function)
   • dendrites
     • receive message from other nerve cell
   • axon
   • insulating sheath
     • provide insulation for axon
   • tiny sacs
     • release neurotransmitters
   • neurotransmitters
   • synapse
   • receptors

7. how function of brain help in studies

   • exercie
   • sleep
   • meditate
   • listen to music
   • challenge mind
   • create mental association
   • draw diagram
   • take regular study breaks
   • eat
     • animal based omega-3 fats
     • coconut oil
     • vitamin D
     • vitamin B12
