    The document summarizes key information about how the brain works. It describes the three major parts of the brain - the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem - and their functions. The cerebrum is the largest part and controls functions like personality, emotions, vision, hearing, and word recognition through its four lobes. The cerebellum controls voluntary movement, while the brain stem regulates vital functions like breathing. The document also discusses how the brain develops most during the first three years of life and can be permanently impacted by drug use and lack of stimulation during this critical period.

    “THE POWERS OF

    THE MIND”
    BY:HAILLIE JANE ALLOCOD
    & JERIC NERZA
    DID YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF?
    “HOW DO BRAIN WORKS?”
    WHAT IS A BRAIN?

    ■ A Brain is a wrinkled,pinkish-gray,three-pound organ that is primarily


    composed of fat and water.
    ■ You got to read this part because that jelly-like mass topping off your
    spinal cord fired elecrical signals to your hand telling it how to move…
    ■ You caught yourself reading this part cause you brain is storing
    information.
    ■ Keep on reading and you will find out how brain function and if the
    effects of drug use are permanent…
    THE BRAIN HAS THREE MAJOR
    PARTS
    ■ THE CEREBRUM
    ■ THE CEREBELLUM AND;
    ■ THE BRAIN STEM
    • THE CEREBRUM – is the largest among the three brain sections,
    accounts for about 85% of the brain’s weight,and has four lobes. The
    lobes-frontal,parietal,temporal,and occipital and each had their own
    functions..

    1. THE PARIETAL LOBE - helps the people understand what they see and feel.
    2. THE FRONTAL LOBE – determines personality and emotions.
    3. THE OCCIPITAL LOBE – functions the vision (eye sight).
    4. THE TEMPORAL LOBE – functions the hearing and word recognition.
    • THE CEREBRLLUM- this region controls voluntary
    movement.When you want to lift a fork,wave a hand,brush your
    hair or wink at your crush.You form the thought and the
    cerebellum translate your will into action.

    NEURONS,THE BASIC FUNCTIONAL UNITS OF THE


    NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE KEY TO BRAIN FUNCTION.
    THEY ARE COMPRISED OF A NERVE CELL BODY,AXOM
    AND DENDRITE,AND THEY POWER THE RAPID-FIRE
    PROCESS THAT TURNS THOUGHT INTO MOVEMENT.

    WHATCH THE VIDEO I FOUND ON YOUTUBE.. ENJOY!!


    • THE BRAIN STEM-this connects the spinal cord
    and the brain.It controls functions that keep
    people alive such as breathing,heart rate,blood
    pressure and food digestion.Those activities occurs
    without thought.
    A critical age
    During the first three years of life,the brain experiences
    most of its growth and develops most of its potential for
    learning.

    “Doctors generally accept that cut-off point for two


    reasons”,Doug Postels said a Pediatric neurosurgeon in New
    Orleans.

    First,in situations where doctors removed parts of the brain


    of patients younger than 3 to correct disorders,the
    remaining brain sections developed to assume the role of the
    portion those doctors removed.
    Second,”We know from experiments
    that if you deprive people of intellectual
    stimulation and put them in a dark
    room,that produces permanent changes
    in the brain” Postels said.
    DRUG DAMAGE
    Because so little recovery occurs to brans damaged after age 3,the
    effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain might be lasting.
    Doctors know what inhalants,steroids, marijuana,cocaine and
    alcohol do to the brain when people use them.

    The question scientist can’t answer right now is “if the damage
    is permanent.”said by Sue Rusche the co-author of False Messengers,
    a book on how addictive drug change the brain.
    Inhalants,such as glue,paint,gasoline and aerosols, destroys the outer
    lining of nerve cells and make them unable to communicate with one
    another.

    Studies have found that marijuana use hinders


    memory,learning,judgement and reaction times,while steroids cause
    aggression and violent mood swings.

    Ecstasy use is rising among young people,Rusche said,and


    scientist have found that drug destroys neurons that make serotonin,a
    chemical crucial in controlling sleep,violence,mood swings and sexual
    urges.
    People are inventive.They find new drugs or new ways to
    take old drugs-like crack from cocaine.

    The classic example is cigarettes. We allowed people to


    smoke for 100 years before we know about all the horrible
    things that nicotine will do.
    NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THE BRAIN CAN
    BE DEVELOPED LIKE A MUSCLE
    Many people think of the brain as a mystery. They don’t know much
    about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about
    intelligence is ,many people believe that a person is either born
    smart,average or dumb; and stays that way for life.But new researcher
    founds that the brain is more like a muscle;it changes and gets
    stronger when you use it.
    That’s all for the PowerPoint
    presentation. We will explain the
    rest by reading and setting
    examples.

    °My eyes are getting tired when I’m making this so please bare
    with me. –Haillie ✌️
