The brain is incredibly complex with all its different parts
that make up it. There are parts that make up the brain: frontal lobes,
Temporal lobes, occipital lobes, parietal lobes, brain steam, and cerebellum. The
frontal lobes are the largest lobes of the brain, which are located behind the
forehead. They are prone to injury because
they sit inside the front of the skull and near rough bony ridges. These lobes
are involved in: planning, organizing, problem solving, memory, impulse
control, decision making, selective, attention, controlling our behavior and
emotions. The left frontal lobes specifically control speech and language. The temporal lobes are located on the sides of
the brain under the parietal lobes and behind the frontal lobes at about the
level of the ears. And they are responsible for: recognizing and processing sound,
understanding and producing speech, and various aspects of memory. The
occipital lobes are located at the lower back of the head. They are responsible of receiving and
processing visual information, and canting areas that help in perceiving shapes
and colors. The parietal lobe is located
behind the frontal lobes, the parietal lobes: integrate sensory information
from various parts of the body, contain the primary sensory cortex, and tells
us which way is up, help to keep us from bumping into things when we walk. The
brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla, which is
located at the base of the brain. It regulates basic involuntary functions
necessary for survival such as: breathing, heat rate, blood pressure, and
swallowing. It also plays a big role in alertness and sensation. Located at the back of the brain, the
cerebellum controls: balance, movement, coordination. The cerebellum also
allows us to stand upright, keep our balance, and move around. 
The cool thing about the brain is that there are different
learning styles from the right or left side of the brain. The concept of the
left and right brain lately popped up in the 1960’s, but since has become a
well-known part of human psychology. While we all use both sides
of the brain, each of us has a dominate side, and these dominate side makes up
for a huge part of our personalities. Those with a right side dominant brain depend
more on visual references for understanding and are often more time visual
learners. They are more emotional, swayed by feelings, and are able to better
understand and reflect on these feelings. The downsides are they send to be
disorganized, lacking in time-management, and unable to prioritize well. The left
brain is the side that handles organization and logic. They prefer schedules
and deadline, and love rules and regulations. They are more auditory learners,
and are better at using works to remember things rather than visual aids. They
process ideas in a step-by- step, algorithmic way, and are therefore less prone
to error.
