Working on How do Drugs Affect Brain/Neurons? Brain Hypothalamus Thalamus Pons Medulla Midbrain Cerebellum Cerebral Cortex Diencephalon Brain Stem Brain Corpus callosum Limbic System? Emotions, Drives, Mood Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus Brain Corpus callosum Limbic System? Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus Amygdala almond-shaped regions (2) in the temporal lobes memory, decision making, emotions Hippocampus- sea-horse-shaped regions (2) in temporal lobe long-term and short-term memory, spatial ability and memory One of first areas of brain to degrade from Alzheimers Parietal Lobe Perception, spelling, numbers, visuospatial processing, object classification Sensory cortex Temporal Lobe Memory, language, hearing, speech, emotion (limbic), face recognition Visual input/processing object recognition, interpreting visual stimuli Occipital Lobe Vision, color processing/ID, visual processing Frontal Lobe Thinking, problem solving, emotions, behavior, decision making, motor cortex Fish Shark Snake Bird How do Drugs Affect Brain/Neurons? Brain What does a small cerebral cortex mean? Brain size? Does Size REALLY Matter? EQ = How much the observed size of the brain expected based on body mass Makes sense. Capuchin monkeys higher EQ than gorillas But gorillas outperform them on cognitive test Does Size REALLY Matter? Shouldnt a larger brain be smarter? The number of neurons in a brain AND where they are Front. Hum. Neurosci., 09 November 2009 | The human brain in numbers: a linearly scaled-up primate brain Suzana Herculano-HouzelSuzana Herculano-Houzel* Instituto de Cincias Biomdicas, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil Does Size REALLY Matter? What makes you smart? Today Finish Obj 6 and 7 What do you need to finish project?
