BRAIN AREAS 1.

Motor Area (in front of the fissure of Rolando) The body is represented in approximately up-side down form. Movement on the right side of the body originate thru the stimulation of the left hemisphere. 2. Body-sense area (in the parietal lobe) the lower extremities are represented high on the area of the opposite hemisphere. 3. Visual area (in the occipital lobe) Damage the left hemisphere and will result in blind area in the left side of both eyes. 4. Auditory area Both ears are totally represented on both sides so that loss of one temporal lobe has very little effect on hearing 5. Speech area the motor speech area (Brocas speech area) controls the tongue and jaws. It is located in the right hemisphere of the left handed persons and vice versa. According to the conventional interpretation. 6. Association areas Bring together phenomena involving more than one sense 7. Smell area Just below the frontal near the temporal lobe. 8. Taste area- located behind th central fissure at the lower part of the side of the brain

ON BRAIN STUDIES 1. That all brain areas are equipotential that the brain acts as a total mass with few localized functions. 2. The special neutral processes of the brain are meant for specific functions. It was believed that the brain is meant for specific functions. It has separate areas for specific abilities like for reading English, for reading French etc. 3. While some functions of the brain are localized in certain fixed areas, may function of the brain are duplicated in more than one brain area. Four methods popular among psychological psychologists and neuro phycists in studying the brain are the following: 1. Injury or sublical ablation It can now be specified more exactly what kind of language function will be disturbed should certain brain area are injured. 2. Electrical or chemical stimulation Mild electrical currents allowed to stimulate certain brain areas or chemicals which are passed through small tubes to the inside of the brain, help in the observance of the behavioral effects that follow.

3. The use of Electroencephalogram (EEG) Electrical effects of neural activity and the rhythmical electrical discharge from the brain as a whole are recorded by the EEG which are passed from the brain
