forebrain (cortical structures) --answer--:occipital lobes, temporal lobes, frontal lobes
occipital lobes --answer--:vision
parietal lobes --answer--:touch, spatial information
temporal lobe --answer--:hearing, memory
frontal lobes --answer--:planning, movement, complex thoughts
■ The hindbrain includes three structures: the brain stem, which regulates basic survival
functions; the pons, which regulates sleep and arousal and coordinates body movements; and
the cerebellum, which is essential for movement and control of balance. --answer--:facts
■ The midbrain includes the substantia nigra, which is responsible for initiating voluntary motor
activity. --answer--:facts
■ Together, the five subcortical structures of the forebrain control memory formation, emotions,
and motivated behaviors. --answer--:facts
,■ The four lobes of the forebrain and associated cortical areas are responsible for the most
complex processing. --answer--:facts
consciousness refers to --answer--:our moment-by-moment subjective experiences
subjective --answer--:Information is subject to your own personal view.
objective --answer--:Information is an object that all people view the same way.
subliminal perception --answer--:The processing of information by sensory systems without a
person's conscious awareness.
global workspace model --answer--:Consciousness is a product of activity in specific brain
regions.
prefrontal cortex --answer--:i understand plans
primary motor cortex --answer--:im all about movements
parietal lobe --answer--:im aware of space
occipital lobe --answer--:i see things
temporal --answer--:i hear things
split brain --answer--:A condition in which the corpus callosum is surgically cut, and the two
hemispheres of the brain do not receive information directly from each other.
, left hemisphere --answer--:better with language, processes right visual filed information, and
controls right side body movements
right hemisphere --answer--:better with spatial relationships, processes left visual field
information, and controls left side body movements
Consciousness is how the brain allows us to be aware of and experience the external world and
our internal mental activity.
■ There are two levels of consciousness, which vary in the amount of attention to and
awareness of our experiences.
■ Information that is processed subliminally—that is, without conscious awareness—can
influence basic thinking and behavior for only short periods of time.
■ Conscious experiences are a result of activity in five specific regions of the brain that cause us
to be aware of specific types of information.
■ People with split brains have a unique experience of consciousness: They are aware of only
information presented to the one hemisphere that processes that information. And they can
verbalize only information processed in the left hemisphere. --answer--:facts
circadian rhythms --answer--:The regulation of biological cycles into regular, daily patterns.
Pineal Gland and Sleep/Wake Cycles --answer--:Changes in light register in the suprachiasmatic
nucleus of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus then signals the pineal gland. The pineal gland
influences the production of melatonin, which signals the body that it is time to sleep or wake
up.
melatonin --answer--:A hormone, released in the brain, that aids regulation of circadian
rhythms because bright light reduces production and darkness increases production.
beta waves --answer--:alert wakefulness
