PSYB65H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Olduvai Gorge, Louis Leakey, Autism Spectrum
Document Summary
The knowledge emerging from these lines of study change how we think about ourselves, how we structure edu and our social interactions, and how we aid those with brain injury, disease, and disorder. The brain is a physical object, a living tissue, and a body organ while behaviour is action, momentarily observable, but fleeting. The brain and behaviour differ but are greatly linked. Three reasons for linking the study of brain to the study of behaviour: how the brain produces behaviour is a major unanswered scientific question. We study the brain to understand humanity. How we become conscious, how we speak, how we remember. Understanding brain function will allow improvements in edu, economic, and social systems: the brain is the most complex living organ on earth and is found in many diff groups of animals. We want to understand the brain"s place in the biological order of our planet.
