Today in class, we finished diagramming and discussing the parts of the brain (limbic system and cerebral cortex). See attachment.

Next, the class discussed hemispheric differences, plasticity, and split-brain operations.

- Wernicke's Aphasia: Damage to the Wernicke's Area (4 min, 13 sec.)

For additional, supplemental videos, please go to the "Brain" page (on the left) and watch the Robotic Arm and Phantom Limb Sensation Videos.
