Document Summary

Mind and body true or false: not true that we only use 10 % of our brain we use 100% It is true that the sense of touch is the first develop, start experience touch on checks and lips at 8 weeks and whole body at 12 weeks. Damage causes loss or limited vision temporal lobe: recognition, perception (hearing, vision, smell), language, learning, memory. Damage could result in lack of understanding of language, experience short term memory problems, inability to recall. Experience fits ( which are called temporal love epilepsy associated with weird feelings and smells: cerebellum: motor learning, balance coordination, reflex, timing, sequence learning . Damage causes lack of balance and coordination, tremors and abnormal eye movement: brain stem: maintain internal balance, maintaining homeostasis (bodily functions such as blood pressure, breathing, ect), sleep, alertness, balance, startle response. Damage can cause sleep problems, nausea, becoming weak on one side of the body.
