(1) Temporal Lobe is responsible for: memory, understand<strong>in</strong>g, language, facial recognition, hear<strong>in</strong>g , vision, speech and emotion. (2) Parietal lobe is responsible for: perception, object classification, spell<strong>in</strong>g, knowledge of numbers, visuospatial process<strong>in</strong>g (3) Cerebellum lobe is responsible for : gross and f<strong>in</strong>e motor skills, hand to eye co-ord<strong>in</strong>ation, balance (4) Frontal lobe is responsible for : th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g, plann<strong>in</strong>g, problem solv<strong>in</strong>g, emotions, behavioural control, decision mak<strong>in</strong>g (5) Bra<strong>in</strong> stem reptilian bra<strong>in</strong> is responsible for regulates body temperature, heart rate, swallow<strong>in</strong>g, breath<strong>in</strong>g, this is the part of the bra<strong>in</strong> that responds with flight, flight and freeze response (6) Occipital lobe is responsible for : vision, visual process<strong>in</strong>g, colour, identification Even though these slides of adults, what they demonstrate the difference <strong>in</strong> the bra<strong>in</strong> activity and may give us some more sense of how our children may struggle with process<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>formation and engag<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the learn<strong>in</strong>g process. Of course this will also show us how some of our parents may have difficulties <strong>in</strong> process<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>formation and how their structure of the bra<strong>in</strong> will also be impacted. The brighter the area this is where the bra<strong>in</strong> is most active and the darker area is where there is least active. These images show the alertness with<strong>in</strong> our bra<strong>in</strong>. If we were <strong>in</strong> a dangerous situation this is what the activity <strong>in</strong> our bra<strong>in</strong> may look like. Once the danger passes the electrical activity that made us respond to be safe, would return to normal. For a child who has or is experienc<strong>in</strong>g trauma their bra<strong>in</strong> will always be <strong>in</strong> a state of over activity as shown <strong>in</strong> this slide. It may reduce after a while, but research suggest that never to the level of a health bran. 6
Here we can see how the <strong>in</strong>ternal structure is changed by trauma These slides just demonstrate how other conditions impact on the bra<strong>in</strong> development. 7
