Document Summary
Basic structure of brain from genetics as embryo (embryonic) Memory: reg. repeated long term interactions between neurons and supporting cells. Memory: long vs. short term and long-term potentiation. Long term memory -> short term memory = recall/retrieval. Long term: activated when info needed; pulled to st memory then uses; aka working memory. Emergent properties: result from arrangement and interaction of parts within system. Levels of biological organization systems and organs 7. Reductionism: complex systems to simple components so easier to understand. Inquiry: search for natural causes of natural phenomena. Encoding: short term -> long term or sensory member -> short term.
