why has neuroscience been such a advances on neuroscience depend on the ability of
technology driven field? technology to see/measure what's happening in
the nervous system
Who was Paul Broca and what did he He was a French neurologist (1824-1880) that
do? mapped a part of the brain named "Broca's Area"
- connected location to specific function
Who was Karl Wernicke and what did German neurologist that identified "Wernicke's
he do? area"
- connected location to a specific function
,who was Wilder Penfield? At one time, "the greatest living Canadian" (1950s)
- neurosurgeon
- connect specific locations to function
What was John Hughlings Jackson's identified that multiple brain areas are essential for
contribution? complex function (not just one area)
- perception, action, language, etc.
Who was Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Spanish neurologist (1852-1934)
and what did he do? - used Golgi stain to show that brain is composed
of individual neurons, not a continuous network
Who was Charles Sherrington, and English physiologist
what did he do? - Nerve cells are linked by synapses
, What were advances in technology electron microscope
in the 1950s used to study - examine components of individual cells, like
neuroscience? synapses
microelectrodes
- examine electrical activity of individual neurons
why were lobster & squid first used in they don't have myelin, so they have very large
experiments looking at neurons? axons which are easier to study
What is computerized axial x-ray of brain that makes image based on density
tomography (CAT)? of tissue
- denser (bone) are white
- less dense (fluid) are black
- high protein (brain) light gray
