The Eye and The Brain

• Parts of the Brain:

  1. Cerebral Cortex - in control of conciousness, language, memory and intelligence
  2. Cerebellum - in control for muscle co-ordination
  3. Medulla - controls unconcious behaviour such as breathing, heart rate and digestion
• Methods of Brain treatment: electrical stimulation and MRI scans
• Treatment of the Brain is difficult because:

  • It's not fully understood what each part of the brain does
  • Surgery could easily damage the brain
  • Drugs do not always reach the brain due to membranes
