Document Summary
Believed to be helped by high doses of propranolol and electrical stimulation. Hippocampus: area of the brain where most long-term memories are stored. Neuronal inactivation: death of neurons that are normally activated during a stressful event. Chapter 1: an introduction to brain and behavior. What is biopsychology: the discipline that studies the complex interaction between behavior and the body. What is neuroscience: the study of the nervous system. Origins of biopsychology: philosophy, studies of brain damage, evolutionary theory, genetics. Leonardo da vinci: studied the part of the brain filled with fluid. Old phrenology: the areas of brain each correlate with an attribute. If a person is good with said attribute, the area of their brain that correlates with it will swell, causing bumps on the head: origins of localization of function. New phrenology: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), good spatial resolution, bad temporal resolution, electroencephalography. Surface electrodes: good temporal resolution, bad spatial resolution.
