PSY372H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Artificial Neural Network, Machine Learning, Cognitive Psychology
Document Summary
Indicates they must have some memory that is not consciously accessible. We can look (in)to the brain for further examination: neuroanatomy, neurons & cognitive neuroscience techniques. Note: central sulcus- division line of frontal and parietal. Limbic lobe/system: sometimes called "5th lobe of brain, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus: memory processing takes place, amygdala: emotional processing; learning and memory. Basal ganglia: cluster of nuclei, helps with motor control, has many connections with the thalamus, coordination, parkinson"s, alzheimer"s, these types of dementia require intact neurons. Thalamus: relay center for all sensory info. Info that goes through the parietal lobe has to pass thalamus first: except olfactory ---> goes straight to cortext, determines if should send info for higher processing, ignored . Job is to determine what to do with the info. Hypothalamus: autonomic nervous system, controls pituitary gland, tells it to release certain hormones, 4 f"s. Midbrain (mesencephalon: tectum ---> more towards the back of neck (dorsal, tegmentum ---> more towards the front.
