©what did Rene Descartes say about the brain and conscious mind.
Answer: he believed that the body (including the brain) had material
properties and worked like a machine, whereas the mind was
nonmaterial and thus did not follow the laws of nature (Newton laws of
physics)
However, the mind could influence the body and through the passions,
the body could influence the mind
Very big on the pineal gland
known as dualism
©dualism. Answer: the presumption that mind and body are two distinct
entities that interact, Rene Descartes

the body could influence the mind
Very big on the pineal gland
known as dualism
©is cognitive neuroscience monism or dualism. Answer: monoism,
conscious mind is a product of the brain's physical activity and not
separate from it
©What is Thomas Willis say. Answer: he was ahead of the curve
he foreshadowed cognitive neuroscience with the notion that isolated
brain damage could affect behavior
biology affects psychology
©what did Franz gall do. Answer: Believed that innate faculties are
localized in specific regions of the cerebral cortex.
,Brain was organized around 35 or more specific functions (cognitive
basics like language and color), ranging from cognitive basics to
ephemeral capacities like affection and moral sense, each supported by
specific brain regions
is someone used their faculties with greater frequency than others, that
part of the brain representing the function would grow: which is basic
phrenology
©Believed that innate faculties are localized in specific regions of the

©what did Marie-jean Pierre florins do. Answer: showed that certain
parts of the brain were responsible for certain function
destroyed the brains of pigeon and rabbit to observe what happened
, invented aggregate field theory, which is saying that all individual
mental functions are performed by the brain as a whole, not by discrete
parts
©aggregate field theory. Answer: invented aggregate field theory, which
is saying that all individual mental functions are performed by the brain
as a whole, not by discrete parts; by Fluorenes
©what did marc dx do. Answer: noticed that three patients with similar
left-hemisphere lesions all had similar speech disturbances
©what did john highlines Jackson do. Answer: published observations
on the behavior of people with brain injury
in seizure, patients moved in characteristic ways, in jerks.
led him to propose topographic organization in the cerebral cortex
map of the body was represented across a particular cortical area, where
one part was the foot, the lower leglet
also touched upon brain plasticity a little bit (stroke patients didn't lose
all function)
