This lesson explores the structure and functions of the cerebral hemispheres, emphasizing their specialization. The left hemisphere is linked to language, math, and logical reasoning, while the right hemisphere is associated with creativity, visual imagery, and face recognition. Key concepts include the role of the corpus callosum in inter-hemispheric communication, and real-life examples demonstrating the impact of brain damage. Students will deepen their understanding of how each hemisphere influences behavior, supported by case studies illustrating these effects.

  11. Time’s up! Put Bell Ringer in Folder • Today’s Agenda: • Cerebral (Brain) Hemispheres Cornell Notes

  12. Cornell Notes Topic/Title: Cerebral (Brain) Hemispheres

  13. Cerebral Hemispheres • Cerebral = brain • Right and Left hemisphere (halves) • Each hemisphere appears to be specialized for some behaviors. • Left: language, math, logic, and organization • Right: face recognition, visual images, music, and creativity Left Right

  14. Left vs. Right Hemispheres • The right side of the brain controls muscles on the left side of the body • The left side of the brain controls muscles on the right side of the body. • Therefore, damage to one side of the brain will affect the opposite side of the body.

  15. Corpus callosum • Thick band of fibers that connects the two hemispheres • This structure is how the hemispheres communicate with each other

  16. Mrs. Thompson had a stroke in one hemisphere of her brain. After the stroke, the left side of her face was droopy, she had trouble speaking and had a limp in her left leg. Which hemisphere did the stroke occur?

  17. Answer: • The stroke occurred in the right cerebral hemisphere. • We know this because the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left side of the body and it was her left side that was damaged

  18. Tim was riding his bike when a car failed to obey a stop sign and hit him. This accident resulted in brain damage. One of the consequences was that Tim had a hard time recognizing people’s faces, even if he had known someone a long time. Which hemisphere did Tim have brain damage?

  19. Answer: • The stroke occurred in the right cerebral hemisphere. • The right cerebral hemisphere is known to be responsible for face recognition, music, creativity and visual images.
