The Amygdala Complex (Lecture 16 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning). Thorough review of the amygdala complex and its relationship with learning, motivation and emotion. Exerpt: "The pervasive use of the fear conditioning paradigm in rodents has meant that, for many years the amygdala was thought of as the brain’s ‘fear’ module. Accumulating evidence, from patient data, lesion studies in non-human primates and single neuron recordings convincingly paints a ...

Hypothalamus (Lecture 2 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning) Thorough review of the hypothalamus as it relates to behavioural control, including ingestive and affiliative (parental and pair bonding) behaviours

PDF flashcards covering all BIOC0005 lectures for the 2021-2022 curriculum.

Basal Ganglia (Lecture 10 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning) Thorough review of the basal ganglia as it relates to learning of behaviours. Traditionally thought to support procedural learning (i.e. habit formation), more recent research supports the basal ganglia to play a role in both goal-oriented (dorso-medial striatum) and habitual (dorso-lateral striatum) behaviour.

A PDF export of all my notion flashcards for all BIOC0005 Molecular Biology lectures for the 2021/2022 curriculum.

Adult Neurogenesis and the Dentate Gyrus (Lecture 6 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning) Thorough review of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus in both mammals and humans, and how this relates to memory storage and recall.

Mirror Neurons and Theory of Mind (Lecture 14 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning). Thorough review of mirror neurons as it relates to the Theory of Mind in human and non-human primates. Includes the Mirror Neuron Deficit Theory in the causation of autism spectrum disorder and the Simulation Theory of Mentalising - and oppositions to these theories.

The Ventral Hippocampus (Lecture 4 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning) Thorough review of the ventral hippocampus and its contentious roles in emotional versus spatial processing.

These are comprehensive lecture notes for the BIOC0005 Week 5 to Week 6 lectures, which consist of 7 lectures in total. BIOC0005 is taken by 2nd year BSc students studying Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and other life sciences degrees. Important knowledge/exam points are highlighted or typed in red. I received a first honours for this course and was named on the Dean’s list.
