About 3 pounds 78% water, 10%
fat, 8% protein Less than 2.5%
of body’s weight Uses 20-25% of
body’s energy

My brain is like ...
An ecosystem
Our Brains Are like a “jungle” All parts of the brain participate with each other, while each has its own function There is natural pruning or neural pruning that occurs when parts are not used
“LEARNING IS A DELICATE, BUT IS A POWERFUL DIALOGUE BETWEEN GENETICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT…”

• 99% of our brain growth / maintenance happens during sleep
• protein markers formed during the day are wired during sleep • life span of 18-20 hours

• Neurotrophins: group of proteins which are responsible for the growth and development of dendrites
• Calpain: enzyme which causes the protein marker to self – destruct.
Or Not…..

From whence it all started….
• From conception to approx. 5 months, production of brain cells 200 thousand per minute.
• Brain cells (neurons) vs. other cells • migration Cellular level - tens of billions of neurons, ten times
more numerous glial cells that support, insulate and nourish the neurons
30 thousand neurons (300,000 glial cells) fit into the space of a pinhead.

Your brain will absorb only what
your will endure.
Find your 1st appointment and share 3 interesting facts that you will remember.

Prefrontal cortex
The CEO of the brain is the last part of the brain to mature. Thousands of new connections are formed during the preteen years (F 11 M12.5)and then shrinks as neural connections are pruned and strengthened during adolescence.
Amygdala
The emotional center of the brain, home to such primal feelings as fear and rage. When processing emotional information, teens rely more heavily on the amygdala. Adults depend more on the rational prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain that is underdeveloped in teens.

Needs of the Primitive Brain…
its own territory physical comfort- warmth, absence of
hunger to belong and enjoys rituals which confirm
identity-routines, clear procedures, etc. to feel safe: physically and emotionally-
Fight or Flight and flocking behaviours Monitoring motor functions Rote behaviours

Hypothalamus controls most primitive
emotions: Fear, Anger, Aggression
Fully functioning at birth
1st voice you hear in your head
Amygdala Controls the more
sophisticated emotions: love, jealousy, attraction, kindness
2nd voice you hear Healthy development
through modeling, parenting & other environmental cues
Key Components of the Limbic
System
The two stay in communication with each other via pathways along the hippocampus (responsible also for forming new memories*)
04/21/23
Divided into left and right hemispheres. Connected via corpus callosum. Discerns relationships and patterns of
meaning. Creates personal metaphors or models for
learning. Searches for novelty. Looks for relevance in learning. Needs plenty of stimulation. Requires feedback. Operates on conscious and unconscious level. Works in short bursts of concentration.
THE THINKING BRAIN (Neocortex)

The psychological sentinel of the brain
“Chamber, inner room” – The Gateway to the Cortex
•located in the centre of the brain
•strategic position to act as a relay station: to direct the flow of information
•Once received, information is sent
either to:
danger or threat
