Explain one technique used to study the brain in relation to behaviour with reference to one study.
Draginski: MRI scans were used to demonstrate both neural plascity and neural pruning
Explain localization of function, with reference to one study.
- Draginski
- HM
- Maguire
Explain neuroplasticity, with reference to one study.
- Draginski
- Maguire
Explain the effect of one neurotransmitter on human behaviour, with reference to one study.
- Antanova the neurotransmitter of acytlcholine, and how it is used in the formation of spatial memory
Explain one ethical consideration in one study of the brain and behavior.
- HM: HM was not able to fully give consent due to his condition. Including:
- Right to withdrawl
- Confidentiallitty
- Informed consent
Explain the use of one research method in one study of the brain and behaviour.
- Antanova: True Lab Experiment
Includes:
- IV Scopapolamine or not
- DV: the performance in the maze task, and also the hippocampal activity
- Random allocation of participants
- double-blind
- repeated measures design
Explain the role of one antagonist with reference to one study.
- Mcguagh and cahill
The Antagonist Propanolol was used because:
- Propanolol is the antagonist for the hormone adrenalin, and binds to adrenergic receptors in the amyglada which prevents the normal activation of the emotional memory pathway, which is key to understanding how emotionally charged memories are formed
Explain the formation of neural networks with the use of one study
- Draginski: showcases how neuralplasicty and neural networks had formed in the mid temporal area of both hemispheres (an area associated with visual memory) after a stimulus like juggling was introduced
Explain neural pruning with reference to one study.
- Draginski: showcases how after 3 months of no longer recieving a stimulus for the growth of neural networks, that these regions were pruned
Explain the effect of one hormone on human behavior with reference to one study.
- Mcgaugh and Cahill: Explains the role of adrenalin during periods of stress or high emotional arousal in order to create stronger and more vivid memories in order to better adress stressful events/periods in the future
Explain one effect of one potential pheromone in human behavior with reference to one study.
- Zhou et al: explains the potential role of the AND and EST hormone in human sexual behaviour
Explain the use of one research method in one study of hormones or pheromones.
- Mcgaugh and Cahill: used an experimental study in order to block the hormone adrenaline, allowing researchers to observe its role in memory formation.
Explain one ethical consideration in one study of hormones or pheromones.
- Mcguagh and Cahill:
