16
Q

Limbic system

A

Emotional regulation and memory consolidation. Contains hippocampus and amygdala

17
Q

Brain’s 3 concetric layers

A

Centric core
limbic system
cerebrum

18
Q

Centric Core

A

Contains hypothalamus and controls basic function and endocrine system to maintain homeostasis

19
Q

Cerebrum

A

Higher level processes
- outer most layer = cerebral cortex (grey matter)
- each sensory system sends messages to and from cerebral cortex

20
Q

Hemispheres

A

each respobsible for specific functions though some are bilateral

21
Q

Lateralisation

A

Dominance of one hemisphere for particular function

22
Q

How are hemispheres connected?

A

By bundle of fibres called corpus callosum

23
Q

AO3 + Neurosurgery

A

Treat mental disorders
DOUGHERTY ET AL = 44 pt with OCD had cingulotomy
- 30% successful response
- 14% partial
- success suggests symptoms are localised

24
Q

AO3 + brains scan evidence

A

TULVING ET AL
semantic + episodic memory are located in different parts of PFC
- areas have different functions

25
Q

AO3 + case study

A

PHINEAS GAGE
1m long iron pole through frontal lobe
- post mortem
- personality changed to boisterous, blasphemous, and rude

26
Q

AO3 - Higher cognitive functions

A

LASHLEY
- removed rats cortical regions when learning maze routes
- learning required all of cortex not a particular region

27
Q

AO3 - Plasticity and functional recovery

A

humans are able to regain cognitive abilities after damage
