Document Summary
Lecture 3 - psychobiology 2 - introduction to neuroanatomy. Dorsal or superior - base to the top ventral or inferior - top to base. Sectioning in neuroanatomy: sagittal, mid saggital, coronal, axial/horizontal. Sulcus: a depression in the cerebral cortex. Fissure: deeper groove in the cerebral cortex. Brain evolution: the brain has evolved over hundreds of millions of years, similar hindbrain/midbrain, markedly changed/improved forebrain. Involved in emotion: fear responses, aggression, hippocampus, the seahorse, the story of henry molaison. Changed person": became unreliable, callous disregard for loved ones, hypersexuality, poor social skills, fail to learn from mistakes. 40,000 patients" included young children: parietal lobe.

Primary and association areas: each sense has a primary cortex, there are also association areas.
