Brain Facts for Phoenix Seniors
Education is the Key to Understanding Your Brain
Did you know: your brain is your most powerful organ, yet weighs only about three pounds. It has a texture similar to firm jelly and is made of three parts:Part One: The cerebrum fills up most of your skull. It is involved in remembering, problem solving, thinking, and feeling. It also controls movement.
Part Two: The cerebellum sits at the back of your head, under the cerebrum. It controls coordination and balance.
Part Three: The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate and blood pressure.
Left Brain/Right Brain
Your brain is divided into right and left halves. Experts are not certain how the "left brain" and "right brain" may differ in function. In most people, the language area is chiefly on the left. The Left half controls movement on the body’s right side, and the right half controls the body’s left side
