PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Visual Cortex, Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe
Document Summary
Where high level of perception of world of world occurs. Essentially, this is where all of our controlled interactions with the external world occur: unlike other sections of the brain where responses are due to stimuli and monitoring/controlling internal functions. We can"t exactly replicate a machine that exactly replicates a brain. We can make machines that copy individual functions but nothing that will run exactly like the brain. Folds were created because as the brain grew, it would become heavier. This would result in a problem with balance. Primary cortex direct sensory (or motor) connections. Association interpretation via memory (what have we seen, learnt) Left side of brain often receives information from and controls the right side of the brain. The vice versa is true for the right side of the brain. Contralateral: relating to or denoting the side of the body opposite to that on which a particular structure or condition occurs.
