Frontal Lobe

DefinitionOn of the four subdivisions of thecerebral cortex that controls movementAnd is used in controlling movement and in thePlanning and coordinating of behavior.

Etymology

(1650s) from Modern Latin frontalis brow, forehad (early 15c) From the Middle French lobe and from Medieval Latin lobus meaning hull, husk,pod

Learning ConnectionBehavior, abstract thought processes & problem solvingAttention, creative thought, intellect, reflection, judgment, initiative, inhibition, coordination,sense of smell, muscle movement, skilled movement, physical reactions

DefinitionOne of the four subdivisions ofthe cerebral cortex and plays a rolein sensory processing, attention

and language.

Etymology(early 15c), pertaining to the wall of a cavity in the body, from Late Latin parietalis of walls from Latin paries wall, of unknown origin. (early 15c) From the Middle French lobe and from Medieval Latin lobus

meaning hull, husk, pod Learning ConnectionsSense of touch, appreciation of form through touch, response to internalstimuli, sensory combination and comprehension,

Neurons

DefinitionNeurons are cells within the nervoussystem that communicate and makeUp the basic working unit of the brain.

EtymologyFrom Greek neuron , a nerve cell with appendages

Learning ConnectionNeurons are essential for the communicationbetween the structures of the brain.

Axons

DefinitionA fiberlike extension of a neuron by whichit sends information to target cells

Etymology(1842), From Greek axon axis

Learning connections

Axons are essential part of a neuron and therefore essential toproper communication to other neurons in the brain

Dendrites

DefinitionThe treelike extension of the neuron cell body.

Etymology(mid-18c)., from Greed dendrites of orPertaining to a tree, from dendron tree

Learning Connections

The dendrite is the primary site for receivingAnd integrating information from otherNeurons.

Synapses

DefinitionContact points where one neuroncommunicates with another neuron.

Etymology(1895), Synapses from Greek synapsis connection, junction

Learning Connection

Synapses are essential to the proper function of the nervoussystem in order to transmit information to other nerve cells

Glia

DefinitionGlia are specialized cells that make up themyelin sheath that accelerates the transmission

Of electrical signals along the axon.EtymologyLate Greek glue

Learning connection

Glia is imperative for proper nervous system operation and brainfunction and optimized learning. They transport nutrients toneurons, clean brain debris and anchor neurons in place.
