Song for learning parts of the brain and their functions. LYRICS BELOW. • There's so much here packed into 3 minutes, that I recommend repeated viewings/listenings for anyone wanting to use this song as a memory/learning aid. The song is actually pretty catchy if you listen enough, although there's no exact repetition like most pop songs. • This is licensed as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (CC-BY-SA).

Special thanks to Creative Commons and all who use it! • Video (and PDF with chords) also available at http://archive.org/details/BrainParts... • LYRICS: • This is a song about parts of the brain • I'm singing it to memorize the names • The ideas here may be simplistic • but matching meaning and rhyme is a tough logistic • The Cerebral Cortex has four main lobes • With names from the nearby skull bones • • Frontal does the thinking • Occipital deals with vision • Parietal senses objects • and Temporal listens • Inside these lobes there's specialties • Like Broca's Area which produces speech • Wernicke's area handles language comprehension • and the Motor Cortex is for moving with intention • The Sensory Cortex handles perception • of touch, pain, temperature and proprioception • There's two outer brain parts that are distinct • They may seem separate, but everything's linked • The Cerebellum does balance coordination • and has our memorized-movement archive • The Brainstem sets heartbeat respiration • and other things that we need to survive • The brain's inner parts are unique • cut the Corpus Callosum to take a peek • the Thalamus handles signal routing • and the Amygdala's emotions can have you shouting • the Hippocampus does our long-term memory saving • and the Hypothalamus makes our sex and food cravings • The Anterior Cingulate Cortex learns from mistakes • and in controlling movement, the Basal Ganglia is the brakes • The brain parts list is much longer, indeed • But for my class assignment this is all I need • ----- • See my blog post about this video and the issues with Creative Commons licensing here: http://blog.wolftune.com/2011/07/brai... • ----- • Credits for unoriginal images: • Patrick J.
