The Brain Learning

The brain processes and stores information through a series of well-coordinated steps involving various regions. Initially, incoming data is handled by the Thalamus, which functions as a switchboard, directing the information to the appropriate brain areas.

Information goes to the Thalamus which acts as the switchboard of the brain by processing information coming in and sending it to the appropriate place
Information then goes to the Frontal lobe where new information is held in short term memory for 5-2o seconds. The new information is not stored but if it is important it gets sent to the Hippocampus

The Hippocampus is where the new inforamation gets organized and indexed and sent out to the cortex for storage

The Cortex is where storage of the new information happens. This could take hours, days, or even weeks and then sent to the appropriate lobe

The Frontal Lobe

This is where judgement, planning, working memory, and decisions are stotred

The Cerebellum

This is where movement, balance, and ordering are stored

The Parietal Lobe

This is where sensory, motor, and spatial inforamtion is stored

The Occipital Lobe

This is where visual information, pictures, and movies are stored

The Temporal Lobe

This is where language, explicit memory, words, and pictures are stored
