“I find it helps to unders-
tand how the brain works if
you think of it as a company,
The company runs at peak
efficiency when all the parts
are working, a
Up at the front of the com-
Pany (frontal temporal lodes)
are the vice presidents and
_ there are several. of. them;
~ They make the plans for the
company and decide who’s
- going to’ do what and when,
“As things. get underway,
: the vice-presidents get feed-
:"back on how well things are
- going, judge the information
‘and then make further deci-
“gions: change that, keep this,
s+ show appreciation or. an-
- Moyalice,,

: planning, organization,

.- and appreciation.

In the middie {parietal

-association cortex) are the
- Managers each running their
own department.

On the left side of the
brain are the speech depart-
ment (tongue,lip and throat
muscles), language depart-
ment (find the right wards
and know what they mean)
and the motor department

. controlling the right arm and
_leg.
On the right side of the
’ brain there’s another motor
department (left arm and
leg), a spatial reasoning
department (from knowing
where you are when driving a
car to getting your arm into a
sleeve), a music department
and a few incidentals,

Basically, the right side is

' the picture side and the left
the talking side.

So, up front you have’.

decision-making, judgement.

_How brain works _

‘October is Head Injury Awareness Month, The article |.
‘: below is the second in a@ series intended to increase public .-
+, .wareness of just what is meant by the term. Pe
“Ft is reprinted with the permission of the G.F. Strong

Now, the managers knaw
what the. plan is from the
vice-presidents and they
make sure it gets carried out,
In order to do this, they com-
municate frequently with one
another. sending messages
back and forth. ;

At the bottom of the cor-
porate ladder (limbic region,
amygdala and basal ganglia)
are the workers. They don’t
know what.the plan is but.
they know their job and they
do the same one day in and
day out. They handle things
like appetite control, the
néed for water, staying alert
or going to sleep and basic

‘emotions — turn on the
tears, make the face red or .

increase the pulse rate.

Basically, in a brain in- |
_jury, someone gets fired.

Depending on the injury,
that could be a worker,
Manager or even a_vice-
president.

You can also have so-
meone ‘away on a “leave of
absence’’ such as when
there's a temporary swelling
or loss ofblood supply for a
short time.

The effect of the injury is
to reduce the efficiency of
the company,

Messages get sent, but
aren’t picked up,

The vice-presidents get an-
noyed, the managers get
fatigued and the emotional
workers get overwrought,

Confusion reigns.

The whole purpose of
rehabilitation is to find out
who got fired and who is still
on the job so messages can be
re-routed and the company
can become more efficient
again,
