BRAIN: Processes,
parts, and
functions
Code: EsP-PD11/12PM-Ih-6.3
(Q1 Week 7)

Discuss that understanding the


different parts of the brain,
processes, and functions may help in
improving thoughts, behavior, and
feelings .
Objectives
At the end of this session, we will be able to:

➢Know the importance of understanding the


brain - its parts, functions, and processes.
➢Explore and apply practical ways to improve
brain functions for personal development.
Overview

The brain is an organ


that is made up of a large
mass of nerve tissue that is
protected within the skull. It
is the most complex part of
the body. It is the central
processing and control
unit.
It is responsible in our
way of thinking, feeling, and
behaving.
Brain is one of the most complex organs in the
human body, which is part of the central nervous
system, including the spinal cord.
Brain has three main regions – the forebrain,
midbrain, and hindbrain.
The Forebrain is located in the uppermost region
of the brain. It includes the cerebrum, thalamus,
hypothalamus, and the limbic system. Cerebrum is
the largest part of the brain covered by the cerebral
cortex.
Cerebrum regulates senses, memory, emotions,
intellectual activities, and body movement, while the
Cerebral Cortex is responsible for processing
information that is divided into two hemispheres: the
right cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the
body while the left cerebral hemisphere controls the
right side of the body.
.
Each cerebral hemisphere contains four lobes that shares
complex relationships together to function. These are the
Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, and Occipital
Lobe. Frontal Lobe is situated at the front part of the brain
which controls memory, emotion, stress response, speech,
decision making, and planning. Parietal lobe is situated near
the back of the frontal lobe which regulates sensory
perception. Temporal Lobe is located at the side of the head
which regulates memory, hearing, and comprehension.
Occipital Lobe is situated at the back of the head which
regulates sight.
Thalamus is connected to the cerebral cortex that sends,
receives, and organize information. Hypothalamus is
located below the thalamus and above the brainstem
which links the nervous system with the endocrine system
that regulates digestive process and is also responsible
for growth and development. Limbic System composes
parts of cerebral cortex and hypothalamus which
regulates various types of emotions that affect blood
temperature and blood pressure facilitated by the
hypothalamus.
The Midbrain is located between the forebrain and
hindbrain It is responsible for motor movements
particularly the visual and auditory processing.
The Hindbrain is situated at the back of the head
which includes Cerebellum that receives information from
the sensory system and the spinal cord to regulate
balance, postures, and coordinate movement.
The midbrain and hindbrain form the brainstem.
Brainstem is located at the lower part of the brain
which leads to spinal cord. The brainstem connects
the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It
composes nerve fibers that carry signals to and from
all parts of the body. Basically, its functions are for
safety and survival as it regulates breathing,
consciousness, heart rate, body temperature, blood
pressure, digestion, and wake and sleep cycles.
All the big changes the brain is experiencing may
explain why adolescence is the time when many mental
disorders—such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression,
bipolar disorder, and eating disorders—emerge.
Behaviors that are somewhat frustrating and
infuriating are also apparent during this stage.
They need to manage these changes in a healthy,
adaptive way, but to do this they need information and
guidance.
