Broca's Effect On The Brain

One night your best friends invite you over for pizza and to play some card games. While enjoying the pizza and games certain parts of your brain are still functioning to make sure things run smoothly. The four areas we will focus on are Broca’s area, the hippocampus, the hypothalamus, and the occipital lobe.

First, the Broca’s area falls under the association area of the cortex. The Broca’s area is located in the left frontal lobe of the brain. The main focus of the Broca’s area is designated for the production of speech. Meaning, when people speak it will come out smoothly and fluently. So when you are with your friends the Broca’s area is making sure you are socializing and is allowing you to smoothly communicate with others.

Second,

the hippocampus is a structure that is located under the cortex. It was developed to help form long-term declarative memories. The memories are then stored in another part of the brain where memories for locations of objects are stored. This area is helping everyone remember immediate and long-term memories from the evening.
Thirdly, the hypothalamus is another structure located under the cortex. This area regulates body temperature, if he or she is hungry or thirsty, if he or she is sleepy, sexual activity, and emotions. It also controls the pituitary, meaning it regulates hormones. This area will allow one to know when he or she is full or if he or she is still hungry.
Lastly, the occipital lobe, which is located near the cortex. The occipital lobe can be found at the rear and bottom of each cerebral hemisphere. This lobes main job is to process visual information from the eyes. This is a major area of the body for everyone at the party because it allows them to see one another, see the pizza, and the cards.
In conclusion, these four areas mentioned are important for your everyday functioning. They make sure to communicate key information so you will be able to function and feel like you are supposed to as a human being. If any of these were to stop functioning like they are supposed to you may run in to some difficulties.
