Document Summary
5 regions most relevant (what it does, where it is) Ps544: lecture 1: intro (part 2: cerebral cortex a. i. Frontal: higher level cognition, planning, language, ex fx b. Ex: monkey grabs grapes right next to snake when amygdala lesioned b. ii. Cingulate cortex: emotional control, communication between prefrontal cortex and amygdala and hippocampus b. iii. 1. Communication between limbic system and cortex/pfc (mediator/liason: basal ganglia c. i. Sustaining or suppressing behavior, key to attention and behavior regulation (inhibiting impulses) c. ii. Consider adhd, do they really have a pathology or had it just not developed yet: hypothalamus d. i. Food and water intake, temperature, hr, emotional behavior, sexual behavior, hormone levels (regulatory functions: cerebellum e. i. Motor control, balance, associative learning, attention and language e. i. 1. Consider, 3rd trimester: what happens when this develops extero-utero instead of intra-utero vulnerable for later development problems: neurons and synapses, neurons: carry out brain"s major functions, glia: aid and modulate neurons" activities c. Dopamine: attention and learning, reward, movement coordination c. iii. 1. b.
