Little Albie is going to the carnival with his dad. They decide where they want to go using their frontal lobes. They use the map to help them plan out their day.
2
If Albie’s frontal lobes were hurt, he could become a very mean boy and might play tricks on his daddy at the carnival.
3
When Little Albie walks into the carnival, he knows carnival music is playing because his thalamus tells his temporal lobe what he is hearing.
4
If Albie’s thalamus were hurt, his senses would be mixed up. If Albie’s temporal lobe were hurt, he would not be able to listen.
5
First, Albie and his dad watch a magic show. Albie uses his reticular formation to pay attention to the magician.
6
If Albie’s reticular formation were hurt, he would sleep and not wake up.
7
Next, they go to the petting zoo. Albie pets a sheep. His somatosensory cortex describes the fluffiness of the sheep to his parietal lobe.
8
If Albie’s parietal lobe or somatosensory cortex were hurt, he wouldn’t be able to feel the soft fur of a rabbit.
9
Soon, Little Albie feels hungry. This is because of his hypothalamus, which tells him it wants or needs food.
10
If Albie’s hypothalamus were hurt, he would eat too much cotton candy and become very fat.
11
Albie's dad buys him cotton candy and a corn dog. His medulla oblongata helps him to swallow and digest the food.
12
If Albie's medulla oblongata was hurt, he would not be able to swallow the pieces of corn dog he chewed up.
13
Little Albie sees a tightrope walker. She uses her cerebellum to balance on the the tightrope.
14
If Albie hurt his cerebellum, he would not be able to dance to the music playing at the carnival..
15
Little Albie plays jeopardy. He uses his hippocampus to remember facts he learned in school.
16
If Albie's hippocampus was hurt, he would not remember his fun day at the carnival.
17
Little Albie sees a juggler. The juggler is using his motor cortex to move his arms to juggle pins.
18
If the motor cortex was damaged, Albie would not be able to move his body to catch one of the juggler's pins.
19
Next, he goes on the Ferris Wheel with his dad. From there, he can see the entire fair using his occipital lobe.
