Chapter 2 Flashcards
_______________ is when someone believes someone they’ve known for their whole life has been replaced with an identical imposter.
Capgras syndrome
_______________ measures structure using X-rays and asses brain damage
CAT scan
________________ measures electrical activity (an indication of brain activity) through electrodes placed on the scalp
ERP
________________ measures blood flow (an indication of brain activity) by detection of a nontoxic, radioactive substance
PET scan
______________ measures blood flow (an indication of brain activity) by detection of the charge on oxygen molecules
fMRI
Capgras syndrome involves information travelling from the _____________ lobe to the ______________ lobe
Occipital and temporal
There is a disconnect in getting the information to the ___________ in the capgras syndrome
Amygdala
Capgras syndrome impacts visual and not auditory. True or false?
True
____________ refer to different parts of the brain that are responsible for different things
Modules
The _____________ lobe and _____________ lobe are responsible for language processing
Frontal and temportal
_____________ was the study of the head
Phrenology
What is the first principle of phrenology?
Brain as organ of mind
What is the second principle of phrenology?
Basic character and intellectual traits are innately determined
What is the third principle of phrenology?
Differentially developed areas in the brain responsible for individual differences
________________ involves feeling for bumps or protrusions on the head.
Phrenology
_______________ means getting into the brain and selectively destroying parts of the brain and seeing what happens as a consequence.
Ablation/Lesion studies
_______________ is a very invasive procedure
Single-cell recording
_________________ found that the damage made to the brain was made and how much as done could conclude behavioural outcomes.
Ablation/Lesion studies
_____________ is when you insert an electrode into a single brain cell and record when the neuron fires and when it’s at rest.
Single-cell recording
_______________ is a way to learn about the brain
Case studies
_____________ is the most ideal way to learn about the brain.
Brain Imaging techniques
____________ are important for basic psychological structures (e.g. breathing)
Hind Brain and Mid brain
The ______________ involves automatic responses (e..g breathing and heart rate)
Medula
The __________ involves carrying nerve impulses to lower and higher areas of the brain (e..g, sleep and dreaming)
Pons
The ____________ involves muscular movement coordination and motor learning
Cerebellum
The ______________ is a relay area for visual and auditory systems (e.g. eye movements)
Midbrain
________________ involves states of consciousness and wakefulness (e.g. sleep)
Reticular formation
The _____________ is a sensory relay station that takes input from the senses and directs it to areas of the brain.
Thalamus
The ______________ controls biological drives (e.g. if the body is too cold, the hypothalamus will create heat)
Hypothalamus
The _______________ is the master gland that regulates the endocrine system. Works with the hypothalamus.
Pituitary gland
The ________________ controls emotional behaviour.
Amygdala
The ________________ is involved in the long-term storage of memory (e.g .encode new memories)
Hippocampus
The ______________ is the outermost layer of the brain.
Cerebral cortex
In humans, the cerebral cortex makes up about ___% of brain tissue.
80%
If someone didn’t have a cerebral cortex, they could be considered a ______________.
Vegetable
The _______________ is important for decision making, motor function, decision making, etc.
Frontal lobe
The _______________ is important for body sensations.
Parietal lobe
The _______________ is important for auditory functions.
Temporal lobe
The _______________ is important for visual functions.
Occipital lobe
_________________ is for understanding speech.
Wernike’s area
_____________ is for forming speech.
Broca’s area
The ______________ is responsible for your understanding of yourself (e.g. your place in the world)
Frontal lobe
What are the 3 areas of the frontal lobe?
Prefrontal area, premotor area, and motor area.
The _______________ is a band of fibres
Corpus callosum
_________________ measures magnetic field produced by electrical activity (an indication of brain activity)
MEG scan
