PSYB57H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
It was initially believed that cognitive processes and structures were best described at the level of abstraction above the neural level: studying neurons does not provide useful explanations in terms of theory like memory storage does. abstract. Structure of the brain: four structures of the brain: hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain, cerebral cortex: forebrain. Hindbrain: hindbrain: one of three bulges on the neural tube, most primitive structure evolutionarily, brain stem: medulla and pons. Also implicated in balance and visual and auditory information: cerebellum: coordinate muscular activity. Lesions in cerebellum can cause jerky movements, tremors, and. Also problems in attention in visual and auditory stimuli and impaired balance and gait. dealing with rhythm. Midbrain: midbrain: inferior and superior colliculi relay information between brain regions and are located in the middle, reticular formation: wake and alertness. Affected by amygdale and hippocampus (memory: front lobe has 3 regions the body pain, pressure, touch, temperature.
