This Is Your Brain

Nonhuman animals are oriented differently

So are their brains
![Page 6: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Frontal Lobe
• reasoning• planning • parts of speech• movement• emotions• problem-solving
Temporal Lobe
• Hearing or audition• memory
Parietal Lobe
perception related to:• touch• pressure• temperature• pain
Occipital Lobe
• Vision or sight
The Cerebrum
Lobes are only organized like this in the brains of mammals

Brain Stem & Spinal Cord
-Hypothalamus – the 4 F’s-Thalamus—sensory relay station
•Midbrain
•Hindbrain-Pons - ”bridge” (plus nuclei)-Medulla oblongata-Cerebellum
-Tectum -Processing visual and auditory stimuli -Lower vertebrates: vision-Tegmentum -basal ganglia: motor activity
•Diencephalon
![Page 8: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Cerebellum
•Functions:
coordination of balance, locomotion and movement
•Note:
All vertebrates have a cerebellum which varies in size depending on the class of animals
![Page 9: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Brain Complexity & Surface Area
How does this brain compare to other vertebrate brain models?
•Convolutions = folds
•Increase surface area
•Reflect more complexity (in cerebrum and/or cerebellum only)
![Page 10: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Vertebrate Brain Diversity• Brain diversity across
vertebrate classes
• Size of forebrain related to "intelligence" of species
• behavioral complexity?
• Compare across species to consider structure-function relations
• e.g. olf bulb or cerebellum

Vertebrate Brains and Brain Diversity

Brain Diversity & Adaptations
Understanding an animal’s behavior or how it interacts with its environment can help you make predictions about what its brain might look like
Knowing about an animal’s brain can help you make predictions about its behavior or sensory systems
Relative brain size is more important than overall brain size
![Page 13: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Who has the best brain?
![Page 14: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
That depends on what you need it for.
![Page 15: Institute on Neuroscience ION/Teach Build-A-Brain!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649ccb5503460f94995102/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Evolutionary increase in relative brain size.
• Humans and several other animals have much larger brains than expected, based on body mass.
• Ratio was named the “encephalization quotient”, by H. J. Jerison.
Hypothesized reasons: climate change eating fruit! improved vasculature neoteny

How are dog and cat brains different?
• Which do you think has a proportionally larger olfactory bulb?
• How about cerebral cortex? Which has more wrinkles (convolutions)?
• How about the cerebellum? Which is bigger? Which has more convolutions?

Now Build Your Own Brain!• It can be a brain from a real or imaginary
creature
• Supplies: Play-Doh (at least four different colors), your imagination, and hands!
• What does the relative size of different brain regions say about the environment of the animal?
