Study Notes
Brain Structure and Function
- The brain is composed of fat and water and is responsible for controlling all body functions
- The three main parts of the brain are the brain stem, cerebrum, and cerebellum
- The brain stem connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord and cerebellum
- The cerebrum has four lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal
- The cerebellum is responsible for muscle control, including balance and movement
Brain Development
- The brain experiences the majority of its growth and development in the first three years of life
- The brain is adaptable and capable of creating new pathways for brain cells to communicate
- Deprivation of intellectual stimulation can significantly impact the brain's development
Left and Right Brain Dominance
- Understanding left and right brain functions can enhance learning
- The left brain is associated with logical, analytical thinking, language, and reasoning
- The right brain is associated with creativity, intuition, visual-spatial skills, and emotions
Mind Mapping
- Mind mapping is a technique that mirrors the way the brain works
- It can be used for note taking, revision planning, writing, and problem-solving
- Invented by Tony Buzan, it aids in visualizing information and ideas
Strengthening the Brain
- The brain is like a muscle and can be strengthened through learning and challenging oneself
- When people practice and learn new things, parts of their brains change and grow
