ACTION STEP #4 OF THE BRAINPOWER LITERACY PLAN

      BRAIN AWARENESS MEMORIZING FORM

      You can repeat the last three action steps of the Brainpower Literacy Test and compare your answers as many times as you need in order to remember the names and functions of your brain. These memorization exercises can be a reminder of your awesome brainpower potential.

      You will notice that the various words in your brainpower awareness vocabulary will trigger different streams of consciousness and different intense emotions and memories concerning your old values. They may be from your old unverified beliefs and unevaluated opinions as you were growing up. Some of the old ideas have been stored in your long-term memory resources from the time you were very young. The good old ideas need to be re-affirmed and the bad old ideas need to be deleted from your memory so your mind will be uncluttered and ready for brand new opportunities and possibilities.

      Luckily, through the process of Self-Liberation, you can now integrate the true new scientific "brain science facts" into your current Self-Awareness. You can now deliberately replace the false old ideas that you were taught when you were growing up with the new correct rational ideas that you have now.

      This simple act of becoming more knowledgeable by learning the new the universally accepted scientific medical names of your brain parts and their functions can enrich your memory and empower you as a thoughtful person. This new brainpower knowledge will give you a solid foundation for all your future choices, goals, decisions, and realistic action plans.

      Now that you have studied the first three action steps of the Brainpower Literacy Plan, what do the following names of your brain's parts and functions mean in easy to understand words?


      FOURTEEN KEY BRAIN PARTS:

      [1] Cerebral Cortex =


      [2] Corpus Callosum =


      [3] Hypothalamus =


      [4] Thalamus =


      [5] Midbrain =


      [6] Cerebellum =


      [7] Reticular-Activating System =


      [8] Spinal Cord =


      [9] Medulla Oblongata =


      [10] Pons =


      [11] Brain Stem =


      [12] Pituitary =


      [13] Meninges =


      [14] Caudate Nucleus =

      FIVE KEY BRAIN FUNCTIONS:

      [1] CEREBRAL CORTEX =



      [2] PREFRONTAL LOBE =



      [3] LIMBIC SYSTEM =



      [4] CEREBELLUM =



      [5] BRAINSTEM =



        [The list of the five major functional brain areas is based on the advanced pioneering research by Daniel G. Amen of the University of California at Irvine.]


      Now you have a new brainpower awareness vocabulary that will enable you to better appreciate the billions of connections of neurons in your three pounds of brain tissue that make possible your ability to trust the new "brain science facts." When you learn about them and begin to realize how important they are in your life, you will be able to experience the rational humanistic ethical values that can help you create achievable plans and reach any worthwhile goals in the future.
