Brain Structure and Function
How much of our brain do we really use at any given time? Let’s think about this question as we investigate the
different parts of the brain and their function. First, in the space below, record the activity of a person while driving
a car (generally speaking, what actions are made, what thoughts occur in our mind):
As we continue our discussion of brain structure and function, think about HOW we might use each part of the brain
while driving a car. First, record the primary function of each brain structure, then explain how that part of the brain
might be used when driving a car.
