PSY 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Retinal Ganglion Cell, Occipital Lobe, Autonomic Nervous System
Document Summary
Frontal lobe- associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. Parietal lobe- associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli. Temporal lobe- associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech. Limbic system: the limbic system, often referred to as the "emotional brain", is found buried within the cerebrum. Like the cerebellum, evolutionarily the structure is rather old. The cerebellum: the cerebellum, or "little brain", is similar to the cerebrum in that it has two hemispheres and has a highly folded surface or cortex. This structure is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, and balance. Hypothalamus- the structure is involved in functions including homeostasis, emotion, thirst, hunger, circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous system. Frontal: motor area, language, associated areas (thought reasoning, emotion) Iris: (color part) muscle that opens and closes pupil. Retina: sensory cells that transduce light into nervous system activity and other cells.
