Document Summary
Episodic- sequence, what route to take (right vs left is different episodic memory) Cognitive mapping- knowing where you are along the route (ex: one turn from home), certain neurons fire in certain locations (place cells). Time cells fire during a certain time during a procedure (first step, second step etc. ) Place vs response learning- place learning is declarative memory, hippocampus, procedural learning, striatum. Mice in t test, striatum shut off, hippocampus told them , when hippocampus was shut off they relied on muscle memory. Box diagram analogous, bmi is functional coding, mimics brain. Embodiment: every experience is possible because we have the framework for it. Dogs don"t have cones, no architecture, are colorblind. Bmi restores a function that we already have but lost. Dopamine hypothesis- the only thing that causes sch. Is the two tracts that aren"t being regulated properly. Not enough dopamine in mesocortical tract, doesn"t regulate mesolimbic and has too much dopamine.
