Major parts of the brain and functions.


The Cerebrum is the biggest part of the human brain also known as the cortex responsible for the following
parts.
Frontal lobe- Performing functions like expressive language, reasoning, higher level cognition, and motor
skills.
Parietal lobe- Responsible for processing the information sent to brian by the tactile senses like pain,
pressure, and touch.
Occipital Lobe- Is tasked with the job to interpret the information being sent to brain by eyes.
Temporal Lobe-The temporal is in charge of forming memories and processing the sound being recorded by
the ears.

Limbic System (Emotional Brain)


The limbic system lies inside the cerebrum, it is also sometimes called the emotional brain because it takes
charge of the emotional response, there are four sections that make up the limbic system.
Thalamus- It performs motor and sensory functions
Hypothalamus- Associated with the functions like circadian, rhythms, homeostasis, hunger, emotions,and
thirst, besides these functions it also responsible for the pituitary glands which is responsible for producing
hormones.
Amygdala- As a part of the telencephalon, is positioned in temporal lobe and is associated with fear,
memory, and emotion
Hippocampus- Hippocampus helps in learning and turning short term memories into long term memories.

How Our Brain Handle Pain,Pleasure, and Trauma


*Pain- Pain signals are carried by two types of nerve fibers. The A-delta fibers
carry the first sharp pain you feel. The C fibers carry the dull, throbbing pain the
follows.
*Pleasure-The circuit, that includes all kind of pleasure, from sex to laughter to
certain types of drug use. Some of the areas impacted by pleasure are, amygdala,
nucleus accumbens, ventral tegmental area, and cerebellum.
*Trauma- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LZJEreVlCo

Classical Condition
-Discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, Classical Conditioning is a learning process that happens
through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus.

The Brain's Major Neurotransmitters


The three major categories of substances that act as neurotransmitters are:
1.Amino Acid (primarily glutamic acid, GABA, Aspartic Acid, and Glycine)

2.Peptides (Vasopressin, Somatostatin, and Neurotensin)

3.Monoamines (Norepinephrine, Dopamine, and Serotonin) plus Acetylcholine

How Drugs and Alcohol affect Brain and Behavior


Drugs, are chemicals that affect the brain by tapping into the communication system and interfering with the
way neurons normally send and receive and process information.
Behavior, behavior change can change from sad, loneliness, promiscuous, suicidal, angry outbursts, and
delusional.

Alcohol, not broken down by the liver goes to the rest of the body, including the brain. Alcohol can affect
parts of the brain that control movement, speech, judgement, and memory.
Behavior, difficulty walking, slurred speech, memory lapses, and impulsive behavior.

Drug Abuse can Cause TBI


Just like TBI, substance abuse changes in the way, act, and feel. Being intoxicated affects your vision,
coordination, and judgement. This can lead to risky behavior and poor decisions that cause TBI accidents
and injuries.
Mixing a TBI with misuse of alcohol or drugs raises your risk for:
-slower recovery
-worsening of TBI symptoms
-Making bad decisions
-Seizures
-Family and job problems
-Suicide
