Cortical Regions (1.5 hrs)
The Basics of the Cortical Regions of the Brain With Richard Hill.
About This Course
The Basics of the Cortical Regions of the Brain:
Module 1, explores the lobes of the neocortex – frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital – the sensory and motor cortex, the insula and the cerebellum. The separation of the two hemispheres is described along with the connecting tissue of the corpus collosum. The functional distinctions for each area is described along with some insight into the relationship they have to human behaviour.
Module 2 makes a detailed exploration of the frontal lobe, often named the “executive brain”. This is the most important region of the brain for regulation of behaviour and emotive states and is, therefore, very important to understand.
Module 3, explores the motor and sensory cortices in greater depth and introduces areas of the midbrain – the basal ganglia and the limbic area. These areas of the brain are important in the processing of information that comes from the outer environment and also from our inner environment of emotional and movement memory. This video will assist in your understanding of the way the body responds to sensation and organises movement.
