Document Summary
Discover the origins of cognitive neuroscience and how it has developed into what it is today. Discuss some of the scientists and physicians who have made important contributions in this field. Linked specific brain damage to specific behavioral deficits. Amongst the first to theorize how the brain transfers information in what would later be called neuronal conductional. Foreshadowed cognitive neuroscience with the notion that isolated brain damage (biology) could affect behavior (psychology) Came up with the term cognitive neuroscience--> from cognition, or the process of knowing (i. e. what arises from awareness, perception, and reasoning) and neuroscience (the study of how the nervous system is organized and functions) The brain is built through the process of evolution. Primate brain appeared between 34 million and 23 million years ago.
