What I Need to Know
The brain plays an important role in our consciousness. It is the center of
our being, which makes us who we are, what we are as an existential being.
After all every system in our body are interconnected from our brain (the
nervous system). The ANS and CNS are mainly responsible for the other
systems function well, just like the heart, our skin, our response to hunger
and love, etc. This module was designed and written with you in mind; to
understand and study the underlying concept of the brain, its parts and
function, as well as, its relationship to its body and eventually to others.

The Brain: Parts, Function
1 & Societal Relationship
The Brain – is wider than the Sky –
For –put them side by side –
The one the other will contain
With ease – and You – beside.
EMILY DICKINSON
Our brain is one of the most complex parts of the body that is very much
attributed to the consciousness of the very uniqueness of the self. Studies in
the brain in field of Neuroscience, is a challenging subject course that gives
emphasis on the role of the brain in our everyday function in the society.
Especially, in this pandemic times, the ability to cope and handle
challenging situations, also call for the strength of the mind to withstand
any stressful predicament that we face. After all, our brain is a temple for
the consciousness to linger, without a house for the consciousness to think
and act, we become ordinary animal beings, the only consideration that we
separated ourselves from them.

What is It
The Nervous System
The Brain organ is a part
of one of the eight (8)
systems of the human
anatomy, the nervous
system. The purpose
of the nervous system
is to gather information, produce responses to stimuli, and coordinate the
workings of different cells. It is the command center of the other eights systems in
the human body. The development of life
organisms from union of the egg cell and sperm cell, always starts from the
development of the nervous system, the brain, its spinal cord and nerves. Even the
lowliest organisms such as the jellyfish and worms, have origins of a nervous
system. The nervous system is divided into two main parts: the central nervous
system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system or beyond the brain and the
spinal cord (PNS). Let us take a closer look of this two systems.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
(CNS) – processes, interprets
and stores incoming sensory
information-information about
our 5 senses to be exact; tastes,
sounds, smells, color, pressure
on the skin, the state of internal
organs etc. It is the specific
command center (depicted in
yellow color) that sends out
orders destined for muscles,
glands and body organs. The
(CNS) has to major parts, the
brain and spinal cord. The
11
spinal cord is the extension of the brain. It runs from the base of the
brain down the center of the back, protected by a column of
bones. The cord acts as a sort of bridge between the brain and the parts of the body
below the neck. But the spinal cord is not merely a bridge. It also produces some
behavior on its own, without any help from the brain. These behaviors, called
spinal reflexes, are automatic, requiring no conscious effort. Example, if you
accidentally touch a hot iron, you will immediately pull your hand away, even
before the brain can actually comprehend the pain or the receptors kicks in. This is
due to the nerve impulses that brings message to the spinal cord, in this case
“hot”. The spinal cord immediately sends out a command via other nerve impulses,
telling muscles in your arm to contract and pull your hand away from the iron.
(Although there some specific parts in the brain that governs other reflexes such as
our blinking and sneezing). The neural circuitry underlying a reflex is called reflex
arc. This could be best explained through situations such as knee jerking, shifting
balance of weight of the body, when stepped broken glass or shards.
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS) – as the term “outlying” or “beyond” the
CNS, this system handles the CNS’s input and output (depicted in green color). It
contains all portions
of the nervous system
outside the brain
and spinal cord,
right down to nerves in
the tips of the
fingers and toes. The
sensory nerves
in the
peripheral
nervous system
the
carry messages
from the special
receptors in the
skin, muscles
and other internal
and external
sense organs to the
spinal cord, which
sends them along to
the brain. These
nerves put us in
touch with both
outside world
and the
activities of our own bodies. Motor (motionproducing) nerves carry
orders from the central nervous system to muscles, glands and internal
organs. They enable us to move our bodies, and they cause glands to
contract and secrete various substances, including chemical messengers
called the hormones. This system is further divided in two parts: the somatic
12
nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic (body) nervous
system, sometimes called the skeletal nervous system, controls the skeletal
muscles of the body and permits voluntary action. Examples of these are, when you
are running, writing, going to work by walking, doing a lecture in front of the class,
following a dance moves or simply creating your own moves, the somatic system is
presently active. The autonomic (self-governing) nervous system, as the term
implies; these are movements or actions that are involuntary, regulates blood
vessels, glands and internal (visceral) organs like the bladder, stomach and
pumping of the heart. The autonomic nervous system works more or less
automatically, without a person’s conscious control. Under the autonomic system,
there are two subdivision, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
These two subdivisions work together but in opposing ways to adjust the body to
changing circumstances (see illustration). To simplify, the sympathetic system acts
like the accelerator of a car, mobilizing the body for action and an output of energy.
It makes you blush, sweat, and it pushes up your heart rate and blood pressure.
The parasympathetic system is more like a brake. It doesn’t stop the body, but it
does tend to slow things down or keep them running smoothly. It conserves energy
and helps the body store it. If you have to jump out of the way of a preoccupied
motorcyclist, sympathetic nerves increase your heart rate. Afterwards,
parasympathetic nerves slow it down again and keep its rhythm regular. Both
system are involved in emotion and stress.
The nervous system can be likened to complex system, a network strands
connected to every fiber or part
of the body. And this system
mostly run, just like in the
circulatory system, blood cells
and the like, the nervous
system has a nerve cells or
neurons. This neurons
conducts electromagnetic
signal; and are the basic unit of
the nervous system; and they
are held in place by glial cells
(from the greek word, “glue”),
which also provide them with
nutrients, insulate them, and
remove cellular “debris” when
they die. Neurons are
communication cells. They
transmit information to, from
or inside of the central nervous
system, and are often called the building blocks of the nervous system. The
structure of a simple neuron differs in every region of the brain, and it differs also
in main function. But the simple neuron has its three (3) major basic structure
namely, cell body, dendrites, and axon.
13
The Cell Body is shaped roughly like a sphere or a pyramid. It contains the
biochemical machinery for keeping the neuron alive. It is responsible in the
transmission of messages to other neurons.
The Dendrites of a neuron look like branches of a tree, which is used as an
antennas, receiving messages from other nerve cells and transmitting them toward
the cell body.
The Axons can be likened to trunk of a tree, which is more slender. It
transmits messages away from the cell body to other cells. Axons have branches at
their tips, but these branches are usually less numerous than dendrites. Dendrites
and axons give each neuron a double role: As one researcher in the field of
Neurology, a neuron is first a catcher, then a batter (Gazzaniga, 1988).
In adult human beings, axons vary from only a tenth of a millimeter to few feet in
length. The large ones, of course, are found outside the brain. In the peripheral
nervous system, the axons of individual cells collect in bundles called nerves (not
to be confused with nerve cells). The human body has 43 pairs of peripheral
nerves, one nerve from each pair on the left side of the body and the other on the
right. Most of these nerves enter or leave the spinal cord, but the 12 pairs that are
in the head go directly to and from the brain. (the central nervous system also
contains bundles of neuron fibers, but they are called tracts.) Most axons are
insulated by a layer of fat cells called the myelin sheath. A major purpose of this
covering is to prevent signals from adjacent cells from interfering with each other.
The myelin sheath is divided into segments that make the axon look a little like a
string of link sausages. When a neural impulses travels down the axon, it “hops”
from one break in the “string” to another, making direct contact with the nerve cell.
This action allows the impulse to travel faster that it could if it had to move along
the entire axon. The thicker the myelin sheath, the faster the impulse. Nerve
impulses travel more slowly in babies than in older children and adults, because
babies’ myelin sheaths have not fully developed. The communication of neuron to
neuron usually involves separated tiny gaps called synapses.
The Brain
The storage of our memories, the seat of our intelligence (Davis, 1984) and you may
not know it, it is also where our emotions are found (Darwin, 1872; James &
Lange, 1884; Cannon & Bard, 1900; Papez, 1937; Macchi, 1989). The brain’s
structure is also as complicated as its counterpart on moving the body itself. In
this term, we are also speaking on how we should feel, elicit emotion, act towards
an emergency, our brain plays an important role in our thoughts, behavior and
feelings. The brain have three (3) main sections divided: Hindbrain, Midbrain and
Forebrain. The reflexive or autonomic behavior is controlled by the Hindbrain and
Midbrain. The complex behavior of the individual belongs to controlled area of the
Forebrain.
The Hindbrain (Rhombencephalon)
This part of the brain starts at the base of the skull and the
brain stem. It is the region of the brain in which the medulla
oblongata, pons and cerebellum. The Hindbrain coordinates
14
functions that are fundamental to survival, including
respiratory rhythm, motor activity, sleep and wakefulness.
The Midbrain (Mesencephalon)
Located towards the base of your
brain is a small but important region called the
midbrain (derived from the developmental
mesencephalon), which serves as a vital connection
point between the other major regions of the brain -
the forebrain and the hindbrain. The midbrain is the
topmost part of the brainstem, the connection central
between the brain and the spinal cord. There are three
main parts of the midbrain - the colliculi, the
tegmentum, and the cerebral peduncles. Of the 12
cranial nerves, two thread directly from the midbrain - the oculomotor and
trochlear nerves, responsible for eye and eyelid movement.
Forebrain (Prosencephalon)
Source: Wikimedia
The Forebrain (derived from the developmental
prosencephalon) which contain the entire
cerebrum and several structures directly
nestled within it - the
thalamus, hypothalamus, the pineal
gland and the limbic system. This area of the
brain plays a central role in the processing of
information related to complex cognitive
activities, sensory and associative functions,
and voluntary motor activities. Included in this
region is the visible area, the cerebrum; and
this cerebrum is divided into two parts or most
popularly known for the two major division of
the brain, cerebral hemispheres (Michel et.
al., 2020; MacNeilage,
2013). When you picture the iconic shape of the human brain, the majority of
what’s visible is the cerebrum with its wrinkly, pinkish-grey outer appearance. It
makes up around 85% of the brain and consists primarily of grey matter, divided
into two hemispheres.

We could recall from the lesson that the
cerebrum can be divided into two parts
which can be called
hemispheres. And this hemispheres
can control opposite sides of the body.
Though similar in structure, the
hemisphere have somewhat separate
talents or areas of
specialization. But before we discuss
the distinction that separate the
hemispheres, we have acknowledge
what makes them connect. This importance and function belongs to the corpus
callosum. These are a band of nerve, which carries back and forth between the
two. A combination of sensory motor and cognitive information is constantly being
transferred between hemispheres via this neural highway. If the corpus callosum is
severed, the brain’s hemispheres are not able to communicate properly, and the
loss of a range of functions can occur – for example, changes to visual perception,
speech and memory. Surgical severing of the corpus callosum is a last-resort
method for untreatable epilepsy, to stop seizures spreading across the brain.
These also provided proof that there is no truth that some people use one brain
hemisphere more than the other depending on their personality. Some functions
may be specialized in a particular cerebral hemisphere, but the truth is that we use
both
16
hemispheres equally. Even though one hemisphere is specific for a function. The
truth on the matter is that the continuous communication of both hemispheres
works far better. Even, the theory that the establishment of creativity is strictly for
the right-brained or the right hemisphere, on the contrary, there is no specific
evidence to really establish this theory. Creativity is a complex process. According
to a study, creative thinking does not seem to depend on a single mental process or
the brain region. Nor is it particularly associated with the right brain, attention, low
level of activation or synchronization with the alpha waves emitted by the brain
(Cerdan, 2017).
A psychologist by the name of Roger W. Sperry was responsible for the theory of the
right and left brain dominance. Sperry and his colleagues showed that perception
and memory had been profoundly affected, just as they had been in earlier animal
research. In 198, Sperry received a Nobel Prize for his work.

What I Have Learned
1. The Brain is a major part of the Nervous System, responsible for
the peripheral and autonomic responses of the other parts of the
system in the body.
2. The Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for the processes,
interprets and stores sensory information, considered the central command
system, alongside the spinal cord that acts as the bridge to the different
parts of the body.
3. There two (2) types of the nervous system, the central and peripheral
nervous system. The Peripheral Nervous System, is located beyond the
(CNS) and handles the input and output of the latter. It has two division,
autonomic and Somatic.
4. Autonomic is responsible for actions or responses that are involuntary,
while Somatic, for the voluntary responses.
20
5. The Autonomic Division has to system, the Parasympathetic; which is
tasked to slow down the actions and responses of the body, while the
Sympathetic is the accelerator, mobilizing the body for action and output of
the body.
6. A Nerve Cell or Neuron has three (3) major structures; the axons, the cell
body and the dendrite.
7. The Brain can be divided in to three (3) major parts, each responsible for
the processes of memory, intelligence can be found and emotion that can be
elicited.
8. The Cerebral Cortex which is the cap of the brain, has four (4) Lobes. The
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal and Occipital Lobes.
9. The Cerebellum is responsible for the cognitive skills, procedural learning
and movement coordination.
10. The Corpus callosum is a bridge that connects the interaction of the two
hemispheres of the brain.
11. Understanding the brain from the point of the lateralization of the left and
right hemisphere tend to produce different evidences that suggests the
distinction of the personality. The personality of the individual is complex
and unique, therefore the interaction and communication of both
hemispheres is needed to further understand the complexity of personality
in every individual.
