Virtual Dissection- Exploring the Brain Directions: Each station will take you through exploring the virtual brain and dissecting each of the parts of it to examine it closely. Follow the individual directions for each station. Use the website to complete the assignment. Website: https://www.brainfacts.org/3d-brain#intro=false&focus=Brain First Glance Observations Using the website, explore each of the following structures listed below. Complete the table by responding to each column’s title on what you see for the structure. You may use the drop-down menu to select new places on the brain. Be sure to spin the brain with your mouse to gather a 3D view of the object. This table may get larger if you type more than 3 lines of observations. This could result in the following images moving to the next page. Structure

Appearance (what does it look like/ texture)

Location on the specimen (use directional terms like superior/inferior, lateral/medial, anterior/posterior, deep/superficial etc.)

Notable Features (something special, weird shape? Multiple parts to it?) Use the paragraph provided for each

Name(s): _____________________________________________________________ Period: __________ This next section is going to encourage you to observe more details about the brain and draw connections upon what you see with what you know. Answer each question with a line next to it. You may erase the line and type in a different color.

1. “Pons” is the Latin word for bridge. Why might this structure be called the bridge? ______________________________________________________________ ________________. 2. “Medulla” refers to the “middle”. What is the medulla in the middle of. Be specific, don’t just say brain…the brain and what else. __________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 3. Cerebellum is Latin for “little brain”. How does the cerebellum resemble a little brain? _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 4. Research has shown that jugglers, who need particularly attuned motor memory, and London cabbies, who must memorize extensive street maps, each have a particular region of their brain that is enlarged. Can you speculate as to which region is enlarged in the jugglers and the London cabbies? ____________ ____________________________________________________________ 5. In some diseases, neuronal cell bodies in the cortical gray matter can be lost. How do you think this will affect the appearance of the sulci and gyri? ___________ _____________________________________________________________

6. What is the Dura Mater? __________________________________________ 7. What is the precentral gyrus responsible for? ___________________________ 8. What is the postcentral gyrus responsible for? __________________________ 9. What are meninges and why are they important? ________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Conclusion
