PSYB65H3 Lecture : Lecture2 note
Document Summary
Last week we had an overview of the brain, its function, design, how it got there in our evolutionary history and individual development. As we move forwad in the brain, it gets more complex (cortex, newest evolutionary and deals with more complex things) The brain adds on more and more complex processes. But we still have the primative aspects of the brain (eat, sex, territory protection but we make them more complicated, ex territory protection is not urinating on a fire hydrant, but having borders) This week we will turn to the cerebal cortex in greater detail. The cerebal cortex at each of the lobes. Not only how its functionaly divided, but also the coverings and the vascular supplies. Throughout the course we will mainly focus on the cortex since it is where much of the complex activity takes place, and since it takes up most of the space of the brain.
