    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
