PS267 Study Guide - Final Guide: Striatum, Phantom Limb, Alpha Motor Neuron
Document Summary
Sensation & perception: similarities & differences information about this stimulus to the brain. Individual cells in the auditory cortex seems to respond to a range of frequencies: respond more to hight intensity sound then low intensity sounds. Information about nutrience and make body to get ready to process it. Immediate effects likely due to a sudden decrease in inhibition efficacy of exisiting circuitry: long-term plasticity due to growth of new synapses and/or axons. Perceptual reorganization: evidence of reorganization in the adult visual cortex after less than a week, response to brail (chart) Chapter 6: object recognition: sensation, perception, and recognition are different phenomena, we perceive objects as unified wholes, our perceptual capabilities are extremely flexible, perception and memory are tightly linked. Ideal for processing the location of a stimulus: receptive fields of neurons in the temporal lobe are large and selective, and always represent foveal information only.
