Study Notes
Cerebellum and Motor Functions
- The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating motor functions, such as tying shoes or typing text messages, and is impaired when consuming alcohol, leading to difficulties with these tasks.
Hunger and Satiety
- The hypothalamus is responsible for recognizing when one is full after eating.
Emotions and the Amygdala
- The amygdala is responsible for experiencing fear, and damage to this area can lead to a lack of fear response, as in Jack's case.
- Damage to the amygdala can also lead to difficulties with emotional responses, such as fear, and may be accompanied by issues with:
- Aggression
- Anxiety
- Mood regulation
Emotional Processing and Memory
- The amygdala is also responsible for processing emotions and tying them to memory.
- If someone has difficulty with memory formation and processing emotions, the amygdala might be impaired.
Brain Imaging Techniques
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique that might be used to determine the damaged area of Jack's brain.
Auditory Processing
- The temporal lobe is responsible for processing auditory information, such as hearing a siren.
Decision-Making and Planning
- The frontal lobe is associated with decision-making and planning routes due to traffic, in the context of driving.
Brain Activity Monitoring
- Electroencephalography (EEG) is a brainwave measurement tool used to monitor brain activity throughout the sleep cycle.
