This week in class, we learned about the different parts of the brain. We learned about the different hemispheres and how some people can have split brain or even half of a brain. Parts like the brainstem, medulla, thalamus, amygdala, cerebellum, and all of the lobes and cortices are responsible for things like survival, breathing, balance, emotions, language,seeing, and touching. When I was little, I would watch a show called Pinky and The Brain. The show was about two genetically enhanced laboratory mice who lived in a cage in Acme Labs research facility. The Brain always made plans to take over the world which usually failed due to Pinky's stupidity. The show was funny but educational. After learning about the parts of the brain, I was reminded of The Brain Song from the show that is quiet catchy and could possibly help me and other students remember the parts of the brain. Enjoy!
