Brain 35. Investigate the blood supply to the brain and the concept of the blood-brain barrier and the effect of compromise. 36. Identify the three layers of the meninges and their extensions that surround the brain and spinal cord. a. Dura mater b. Arachnoid mater c. Pia mater 2. Explain the formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles. 3. Examine the vital reflex centers of the medulla oblongata and midbrain. 4. Identify centers in the pons that coordinate with specific centers in the medulla to control respiration. 5. Identify the thalamus and describe how it assists in processing and transmitting neural impulses. 6. Investigate how the hypothalamus interacts with other components of the nervous system to regulate the homeostasis of the autonomic nervous system, pituitary/endocrine system, behavior, nourishment, body temperature, and diurnal rhythms. 7. Describe the pineal gland of the epithalamus in terms of function. 8. Name the structures of the limbic system and discuss their contribution to behavioral responses and mental functions.

Discussion Questions: Write at least 1 paragraph/100 words for each question. 1. Identify 3 brain parts of Jill Bolte Taylor's brain that were damaged by her stroke and discuss how the damage impacted her behavior. 2. Do you think her ability to recover is a result of nature, nurture, or both? Support your answer with text and power point information. 3. In the video A Map of the Brain, Alan Jones states that even though we are all individuals, at the brain level we are all quite similar. How does Jill Bolte Taylor's experience match up with this statement? 4. What do you think Jill Bolte Taylor's experience teaches us about how our brains are organized and how we view the world?

Forebrain: cerebrum cortex hypothalamus thalamus pituitary gland The _____________ is largest part of brain which receives sensory input, integrates info, commands voluntary motor responses, works with other brain parts, and is site of consciousness Cerebral ____________is the thin highly folded outer gray matter that covers cerebral hemispheres and is responsible for sensation, voluntary movement, all thought, consciousness The __________________ is integration center that helps with homeostasis by regulating hunger, sleep, thirst, water, body temperature, and water balance. It controls the pituitary gland thus serves as link between nervous and endocrine system. The __________receives most sensory input, integrates info, and sends it to right place in cerebrum The ___________ _________ , an important endocrine gland, extends down from the hypothalamus and is controlled by the hypothalamus. Midbrain - relay station for tracts between cerebrum and spinal cord or cerebellum Hindbrain: cerebellum pons medulla oblongata The ___________________ maintains posture and balance; coordinates voluntary muscle movements; and is Involved in learning of motor skills (ex; playing baseball, playing piano) The _________ is bridge from cerebellum to rest of CNS The _____________ ______________ is important for involuntary activities: heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, digesting, … some reflex centers. 42.3 Cellular Basis of Learning and Memory Define the terms learning and memory, and describe their relationship to one another. ____________ is the process by which new information is acquired. _____________ is the ability to store and retrieve information derived from experience and is essential for learning. Memory may be short – or long- term. Memories may be factual or skills 3 factors that help transfer information from short term to long term memory Repetition or rehearsal Association with emotions Association of new data with data previously learned and stored What study skills can enhance this transfer of information to long-term memory? _____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Discuss how memory is related to changes in the strength of connections. Hippocampus of the limbic system is a key region of the brain involved with learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the long-lasting strengthening of connections between neurons. Multiple stimuli caused neurons to communicate more readily, responses were stronger and longer. Long-term memory involves activation of genes in the presynaptic cell and ultimately protein synthesis. These proteins lead to addition of more connections at synapses. Such a change in strength of the connection between 2 neurons, which occurs as a result of learning, is termed synaptic plasticity. What part of the limbic system is a key brain region involved with learning and memory? ____________ What is the long-lasting strengthening of connections between neurons?________________ ______________________ What causes neurons to communicate better with stronger and longer lasting responses? _____________________________ Synaptic plasticity is a change in strength of the connection between 2 what? ___________

Transcript

0:00 The question talks about brain.

00:01 Here we talk about the blood supply.

00:04 Blood supply to brain is a crucial method and a crucial function because when blood supply happens to the brain, the brain functions.

00:19 Now brain is going to receive blood from two places.

00:25 The first one is known as the the internal carotid arteries and the other one is known as the vertebral arteries.

00:36 So from these two arteries, pair of arteries, the brain is going to receive the blood and when both of these arteries, the internal carotid artery and the vertebral arteries, when they join together, after joining, they form the circle of willis.

00:56 They form the circle of willis and this circle of willis actually is going to ensure constant supply of blood to the brain.

01:08 Now coming to the blood brain barrier.

01:12 Blood brain barrier...
