Document Summary

Cat scan: we can determine the effects of brain damage on behaviour, we can determine the effects that brain stimulation has on behaviour. What are the four methods to study the human brain: we can record brain activity specific performing while tasks/behaviour, we determine between the brain (size/development) specific can relationship anatomy with behaviour/function. A induced experimentally or can be caused by natural means can be lesion. Brenda milner"s work focused on memory and the brain areas responsible for memory. Brenda milner worked with patients that had part of their temporal lobe removed, which had memory problems. The patient is given a series of cards. After, the patient must sort the cards based on two dimensions (for instance, shape and colour) The dorsal lateral prefrontal is difficult to determine cortex. It does not provide a functional measure of the activity of the brain during behaviour.
