INNER BRAIN STRUCTURES

Cerebellum Functions: coordination, balance

Brainstem Functions: most basic functions of life (reflexes, breathing, heart rate, sleep), connects the brain to the rest of the body through spinal

THE LIMBIC SYSTEM

Thalamus (part of Limbic System) Functions: relaying of sensory and motor signals, consciousness, alertness

Hypothalamus (part of Limbic System) Functions: body temperature, hunger, sexual behavior, thirst, fatigue

Hippocampus (part of Limbic System) Functions: formation of memory, spatial

Cognitive Map

Amygdala (part of Limbic System) Functions: negative emotions (particularly fear, rage, and violence)

Brain Diagram Label the 11 structures we have learned Use color!

Exit Pass Write the following: �One strength you have so far �One weakness you have so far �One thing you want to learn more about

Brain Structure Practice With your group, you must represent each structure we have covered (11 total) �One color = cerebral cortex (divide into structures with lines) �One color = inner structures/corpus callosum Check your brain in with me when completed!

Function Scenarios On a separate sheet of paper, write example scenarios for at least one function of each structure (skipping the corpus callosum) to have 20 examples total (will use some twice) �Include the answer

Brain Functions Diagram Draw images/symbols to represent the functions of each structure (11 total) �Label each structure �USE COLOR to at least outline

Practice—half sheet Label each structure Provide ONE (1) function for each structure
