PSYB65H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Parietal Lobe
Document Summary
Psyb65- human brain and behaviour lecture 2 notes: Evolution of the ns and overview of structural neuroanatomy. Evolution of the human brain & behaviour that accompanies it. We do this by first looking at how humans as a whole evolved. There is a scientific explanation for why there is such diversity on the planet, why animals look different. We are closer to chimpanzees than we are to other primates. Comparing the brain with brains of other organisms: From a functional perspective, why is a fish brain smaller than a human brain: fish don t engage in complex behaviour as humans, comparing a dog or sheep brain to a human brain. But the same pattern is- the general structures remain similar. Animal rights movements: what is being reported that all the animals used in a research lab are taking refuge Why do different animals have different nervous systems. What differentiates humans from chimpanzee: the parietal lobe.
