Document Summary
Diencephalon is usually lumped into forebrain, but textbook mentions it as in midbrain (this structure is on the border of midbrain) so both are correct, but we will not be asked to make this distinction. You can make a connection b/w blood movement and brain activity. Compared pulses in forearm & region of brain showed identical pulses; but if asked a math question or heard church bells increased blood flow in brain therefore blood helps in thought process -> selective blood flow. > more release of k+ synapses to blood capillaries and helps in movement of blood. What parts of the brain are recruited to represent a picture of the world (olfactory picture for example) Widespread excitability during new learning (frequency of firing tends to be high when learning something new) In the heart: involved in the frequency of heart beat.
