The document discusses Lesson 7 of Grade 11 Personal Development, which provides an overview of the human brain and how its hemispheres and quadrants can aid in learning. It specifically discusses different theories about why people think and act the way they do. The human brain is the center of the nervous system and controls all organs of the body through receiving sensory information and muscle/hormone responses. It contains billions of neurons connected by synapses and has gray matter for neurons and white matter for axons and dendrites. The lesson activity sheet asks students to research the basic functions of different parts of the brain.
