PSYC 3030 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Document Summary
From the text: (these questions are covered in your textbook, but we did not discuss them in class. ) (none for this section) Other questions: (these questions were covered in class, or in class and the text. ) Describe the following concepts and their role in neuronal communication: cell body, axon, dendrites, neurotransmitters, synapse, action potential, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, resting potential. Describe the concept of hierarchical processing in the brain"s visual system. Compare the effects of brain damage to broca"s area with those to wernicke"s area. What types of questions can be answered by the following cognitive neuroscience research techniques: neuropsychological (lesion) methods, magnetic resonance imaging (mri), diffusion tensor imaging (dti), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), electroencephalogram (eeg), transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms). Identify strengths and limitations of each of the above methods. Describe and be able to give examples of the following types of brain/behavior inferences: function-to-structure mapping, function-to-structure deduction, structure-to-function induction.
