The fluid in the Brain
The Fluid acts like a shock absorber .
The brain has three parts
The Brain has three main parts ,the cerebrum , cerebellum , and the brain stem
The largest part of the brain
The largest part of the brain is called the cerebrum which is divided into the left and right hemisphere
The left hemisphere
The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body ,and the right hemisphere controls the left side
The brain
The Brain acts as the command center for all the processes that occur in the body
Researchers
Researchers used to think that the left side of the cerebrum was dominat in math logic , or speech
The right side f the brain
The right side of the brain was dominant in spatial abilities
Most people thought
Most people thought that I only on 1 side it was dominate
Research
New research shows that the hemisphere may not be as dominate
The cerebellum
The cerebellum is also divided into four lobes each with distinct abilities
The frontal lobe
The frontal lobe controls conscious movement
The parietal interpreted
The parietal interpreted sensory information from many parts of the body
Spatial recognition
It is involved in visual spatial recognition and helps navigation,and is involved in speech and reading.
The temporal
The Temporal lobe is involved with hearing ,smell , speech and memory.
The temporal lobe
The temporal lobe is involved with vision
