The Power of The Mind Flashcards
Like an incredible living machine
brain
What is brain?
This fist-sized, 3 pound or gan is responsible for the overall
functioning of our body.
• Command centre that directs action happening physiologically.
• Key information processing unit that interprets the world of our
experience an vital response unit that allows us to react to the
world.
• Like a capsule of our consciousness, of what we know, and of our
memories.
This part of the brain is responsible for our instinctive, autonomic behavior that serves
survival functions.
The Hindbrain.
controls vital functions like respiration, blood circulation,
digestion, and heart rate.
The Mudulla
regulates posture, balance, and muscular coordination
The Cerebellum
acts as bridge between medulla and other parts of the brain;
regulates movement, sleep, and arousal.
Pons
activating system regulates attention, movement, sleep,
waking, and reflexes.
Reticular
part is the conduction and switching center of the
brain that enables responses to happen, like
muscle movements and for auditory and visual
system processing to transpire.
The Midbrain
This is in-charge of our intellectual activity and
consciousness.
The Forebrain
acts as “executive center” of the brain responsible for
remembering, learning, and thinking, as well as taking charge of language, and emotion.
The Cerebrum
relays sensory information.
Thalamus
secretes hormones and controls physiological functions like temperature, hunger, and thirst.
Hypothalamus
connects the two hemispheres.
Corpus callosum
is the master gland that secretes hormones and
controls the endocrine system.
Pituitary gland
performs intuitive, creative, imaginative. holistic thinking, arts ,rhythm, feelings, visualization and synthesizing
The right brain
performs analytical, logical reasoning, mathematics, linear, language, facts, computation and critical thinking.
The left brain
The brain has two hemispheres that perform tasks differently from each other. The left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.
The split brain theory
basically explains the oscillatory dynamics of the human and nonhuman brain during cognitive processing. The theory is based on principles according to which brain functions are represented by the oscillatory activity.
The whole brain theory
Four quadrants in the whole brain theory?

kinesthetic
conducted a study on the
language and the left-brain
specialization on a patient who
had problems with language.
1861 – DR. PAUL BROCA
conducted a study for epilepsy,
which gave him the 1981 Nobel
Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
1981 – DR. ROGER SPERRY
came up with a theory that identified three distinct parts of the brain; namely: neocortex, limbic system, and reptilian complex.
DR. PAUL MacLean
THE TRIUNE BRAIN THEORY”
THE BRAIN DOMINANCE THEORY.”
ENGR. NED HERRMANN
is a diagram used to represent ideas or information branching from a central keyword or ideas and used as an aid in study, organization, problem-solving, decision making, and writing.
Mind Mapping
represents the main idea, subject or focus.
The center idea
radiate from the central image.
the main branches
comprise a key image or word drawn or printed on its line.
the branches
represent the lesser topics
the twigs
