Document Summary
History: how a neuron works: youtube video (2 minute neuroscience, khanacademy. org/science/biology/huma-biology/neuron/nervous-system, double dissociation. Patient be lost most arithmetic, but could use strategies (hittmair-delazer et al. Patients ps & ge lost ability to love large, zero problems. Dissociation between direct retrieval and solution procedures. Fewer connections a neuron has the faster it can travel. Problem with ethics, issues of tested, reliability. Interfere with processing of the active brain. Precise timing (for single pulse) and relatively good localization. By interfering with the normal functions of a brain area,tms enables inferences about a causal link between this area and behaviour: disadvantage. Impossibility to stimulate deep brain structures directly. Cannot tell whether those areas are necessary for the process. (cid:1688)open fmri allows neuroscientists to share brain research data - science nation(cid:1689) Imaging: fmri youtube video, open fmri project. Principles of localization: where sensory information comes in-processing happens, brain differences: developmental and individual, distribution: localization vs distribution processing.
