Document Summary
Study online at quizlet. com/_1tytq2 the internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal and/or external stimuli, excluding responses more easily understood as developmental changes: intellectual traditions/disciplines, goals of individual. Disciplines: levels of analysis/type of research, animal models. Purpose- study human behavioral and health issues with easier and low- risk subjects. Disadvantages- expensive, never perfect representation (mice don"t get. Goal- understanding the neural adaptations involved in natural animal behaviors. Comparisons- between: take 2-3 different species, based on one behavior, what is different in their brains. Within: same species different variable (ex: season) learned there are multiple types of memory, different brain areas control each, capacity to learn outside of hippocampus: declarative. Place learning is declarative memory, hippocampus, procedural learning, striatum. Mice in t test, striatum shut off, hippocampus gave them place, when hippocampus was shut off they relied on response learning.
