Document Summary
Lecture 3: brain and behaviour: neuroscientists assume everything is controlled by the cells, chemicals, and structures of the brain. Information transmission: endocrine system (hormones, nervous system, functions, reception, reaction. Shows changes in activity associated types of processing tasks: nervous system, cns and pns, basic facts, reticular formation: begins in the hindbrain and runs through the midbrain. Involved in muscle reflexes, breathing, pain perception, sleep regulation, arousal: midbrain: important in integrating senses. Localization of function: franz gall european scientist developed the science of phrenology (the measurement of bumps on the skull to predict mental traits). However, the localization of function is not: broca"s area. Left frontal lobe: controls the movements required to produce speech, wernicke"s area, temporal lobe, controls the understanding and processing of speech. Layers of the brain: as layers go up, more complex and higher-level cognitive processes occur, hindbrain.
