PSYB65H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Dopaminergic Cell Groups, Optogenetics
Document Summary
The opposing responses to familiar and unfamiliar languages mean that prenatal language experience shapes how the newborn brain responds to familiar and unfamiliar tongues. The simple, noninvasive nature of fnirs likely will yield new insights not only into brain development but also into adult brain function.

Neuropsychology; the study of the relation between brain function and behavior with a particular emphasis on humans. Light microscopic techniques allowed researchers such as korbinian brodmann to divide the cerebral cortex into many distinct zones based on the characteristics of neurons in those zones. Contemporary techniques allow researchers to identify molecular, neurochemical and morphological (structural) difference among neuronal types and ultimately to relate these characteristics to behavior. The visual cortex in animals trained in visually guided mazes is one example.
