PSYB65H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Bereitschaftspotential, Tourette Syndrome, Alpha Waves
Document Summary
Review of structural neuroanatomy: diencephalon: motivated behaviour, forebrain: Putamen- outer part of the lentiform nucleus of the brain. Globus pallidus- inner pale yellow part of the lenticular nucleus. Caudate nucleus- upper of the two gray nuclei of the corpus striatum in the cerebrum of the brain. Basal ganglia diseases are disorders of controlling movement, not producing movement: limbic system (limbic lobe) Cingulate cortex (cingulate gyrus: cerebral cortex (also called neocortex) Engaged in interpreting sensory input or organizing movements: tertiary areas (association cortex) Mediate complex activities: cellular organization of the cortex, cytoarchitecture map: Map based on the organization, structure, and distribution of cortical cells. Brodmann"s map- most widely used cytoarchitecture map: connections between cortical areas, neocortical regions are connected by four types of axon projections. Relatively short connections between one part of a lobe and another. Connections through the thalamus: the crossed brain, brain has contralateral organization.
