This week I researched the functions of the different parts of the brain I found. For example, the cerebellum helps coordinate motion, the hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, and thirst, and the thalamus relays motor and sensory skills to the cerebral cortex. Some questions I still have are: How do these parts of the brain specifically relate to each other? and What parts of the brain have to do with positive feelings? A challenge I have come across is putting the parts of the brain from two different sources together, and trying to distinguish the different parts from each other. My goals for next week are to study mindfulness and how the parts of the brain can help you in staying calm and positive. Also this week, I found out that the brain and the spinal cord are included in the central nervous system, so information is transferred from sensory organs through the nerves and spinal cord into the brain where the information is processed.
