Two Brain Halves

Open to everyone until Wednesday, September 30

To keep it, print it while it is open.

The brain has two halves that work together. Different areas handle jobs like seeing, hearing, moving, smelling, tasting, feeling, remembering and deciding.

In the picture

  1. The thick band joining the two halves: carries messages between them.
  2. The front area: planning and decisions.
  3. The side area: hearing and memory.
  4. The back area: sight.

Examples

  • You decide to catch a ball and your hand moves.
  • You smell toast and remember breakfast.
