Size and the
Cerebrum
Melissa Scott, Mountain Brook H.S.
Size and the Cerebrum
Does a bigger brain mean you are
smarter?
The debate is still on. It seems that the
higher brain to body mass an animal has,
the smarter it is. Einstein's overall brain
was a normal size, but the specific
portion known for spatial intelligence was
wider and had a unique anatomy.
What do you call a
brain without a 100
billion neurons? A
no brainer
http://media3.guzer.com/pictures/homers_brain.jpg
Cerebrum
Ha! Ha!
Melissa Scott, Mountain Brook H.S.
White Matter
Portion of the
cerebrum that is
composed of bundles
of nerve fibers,
myelinated so that it
appears white.
These are on the deep
portion of the brain,
including the corpus
callosum.
http://www.brainexplorer.org/brain-images/white_matter.jpg
Cerebrum
Melissa Scott, Mountain Brook H.S.
Gray Matter
The cell bodies of neurons in
the cerebrum.
Located primarily on the
superficial surface of the
cerebrum- the cerebral cortex.
Also, several groups of gray
matter are buried deep within
the cerebrum.

Cerebrum
Ha! Ha!
Melissa Scott, Mountain Brook H.S.
Basal Nuclei (Ganglia)
Several islands of gray matter, cell
bodies of neurons.
They are the processing link
between thalamus and motor
cortex.
They initiate and direct voluntary
movement and help with balance
and postural reflexes.
Parkinson’s disease and
Huntington’s chorea, both
diseases of muscular control
difficulties, stem from problems in
the basal nuclei.

Lobes
Ha! Ha!
Melissa Scott, Mountain Brook H.S.
Frontal Lobotomy
In the early 1900’s, removal
of the frontal lobe or
disconnecting its pathways to
the limbic system, was a
treatment for psychiatric
patients. This pacified the
patients, but made them void
of emotion, personality, and
volition. The severe side
effects and dangerous nature
of the operation has caused
psychiatrists to seek other
methods to treat patients who
suffered from aggression.
