NEUR 2600 Lecture Notes - Corpus Callosum, Brainstem, Iceberg
Document Summary
Had in mind to eventually be able to put his brain in a bottle. Seemed crazy at the time, but people are using brainwaves today. Without sensory or motor input, it would die. Higher the spinal cord missing, the less emotional input. Neil hebb, sensory escalation (soundproof room, blinded, etc), people would ask to get out even though they were being paid well. Made a robot with every bit of behavior was identically like a human. Some organization to it, like the dorsal, medial, etc. Corpus callosum holds the hemispheres together (hard like a callous) Grooves on cortex are sulci and bumps are gyri. Corpus callosum on top of it (white in mri"s because little water in it, just like the skull) Cerebellum also has sulci and gyri too, just smaller. Can"t feel anything if you don"t have it (pns) Pns is organized too, just like everything else. Lose that vertebrae, lose that movement and feeling.
