Term
sympathetic nerves
Definition
cranial nerves are sympathetic
Other nerves that are not cranial: nuclei along the divisions of the spinal cord
Innervating responses that stimulate a range of daily needs, including homeostasis to response to stressors
Term
Amgydala and the hypothalamus
Definition
Emotional functioning
Hypothalamus receives inputs from the amgydala
Hypothalamus is the master glad, but still receives lots of input from the cortex, secrete these hormones and needed for the sympathetic nervous system
Term
bio pac system
Definition
Takes a variety of physiological signals
up to 4 input channels and converts them to digital signals for collection and processing on a computer
Term
bio pac data
Definition
Electrophysiological data (short duration) all the way to temperature (longer duration)
56 different possible responses (focus on a couple)
Displays data in real time on the screen
Term
respiration
Definition
Changes in thoracic
abdominal circumference
Measured in Liters
Term
GSR
Definition
Skin conductance
Measured in mV or mico Mho
Term
Occipital lobe
Definition
smallest lobe
vision
Term
Occipital lobe structures
Definition
Cuneus
lingual gyrus
clacrine sulcus
lateral occipital gyri
V1
Term
Hiearachial processing
Definition
v1 - 5
the specialized cells becomemore developed the further into the processing
Term
V1
Definition
receives the initial information
Term
V2
Definition
secondary visual cortex
Term
V3
Definition
sending on information, particularly for V5
Term
V4
Definition
color
Term
V5 and MT
Definition
Perceiving motion
Term
2 Visual Pathways
Definition
what and where
Term
what pathway
Definition
Ventral stream
Info sent from V1 to temporal lobe
Object identification
Term
Where pathway
Definition
Dorsal stream
Info sent from V1 to parietal lobe
Spatial vision andattention
Term
Damage to the Occipital Cortex (2)
Definition
V1 lesions
higher cortical lesions
Term
V1 lesions
Definition
partial to full damage
Partial: blind spot
Full: cortical blindness
Term
Higher cortical lesions
Definition
Agnosias
associative agnosia
prosopagnosia
akinetopsia
achromotopsia
Term
Agnosias
Definition
not knowing
Term
associative agnosia
Definition
fail to associate a meaning to an object
Term
prosopagnosia
Definition
fusiformface gyrius
inability to recognize faces
Term
Akinetopsia
Definition
MT
Unable to perceive motion
Term
Achromotopsia
Definition
V4
the inability to perceive color
Term
Face recognition
Definition
what pathway
temporal
fusiformface area
Expert object ID area – typically faces
Term
Auditory processing
Definition
temporal lobe
Superior Temporal gyrus: Auditory
Term
Auditory processing:Hemispheric Asymmetries:
Definition
Left: speech perception
Right: melody, pitch, rhythm
Term
Wernicke’s area
Definition
Language comprehension
Posterior Superior Temporal Gyrus
Wernicke’s Aphasia
Term
temporal and memory

Medial Temporal Lobes
Explicit Memory –hippocampus
Term
Bilateral Medial Temporal lesions
Definition
HM
Explicit Memory deficits (intact implicit)
Hippocampus involved in forming new memories
