12/10 Cerebral Cortex

Naming the areas of the cerebral cortex and explaining the function of each.

For Homework:


1.Trace your profile on a piece of 11 x 14 inch white construction paper and then cut them out.
2.Your profile should look like you, including ponytails, bangs, or other features that are unique to your own face.
3.On one side of your profile draw and label parts of the cortex, including the frontal lobe  (pre-frontal, pre-motor, and motor cortexes), parietal lobe (including the sensory cortex), occipital lobe, temporal lobe, Wernicke’s area, Broca’s area, central fissure, and lateral fissure.
4.On the other side draw and label the parts of the lower brain, including the medulla, pons, cerebellum, reticular formation, and thalamus.  Also on this side, draw and label the mid brain: hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus.
5.Along with a label, each brain area must also include a visual representation of its primary function (e.g., a picture of eyes to represent the occipital lobe). These visual representations can be neatly drawn or taken from magazines or clip art.
