Optical focusing light on the retina Sensory transduction of light projected on the retina and projection of neural signal to higher processing areas of the brain Transduction Conversion of light energy into neural code/signal (Analogy of the eye) Front of the eye = Back of the eye = Optical function is at the ____ of the eye while the sensory function of the eye is concerned with the _____ of the eye If the eye was a camera... Lens= Film = If the eye was a camera... Optical part = ___...

cognition the process of knowing that involves awareness, reasoning, perception, recollection, and judgement neuroscience study of the nervous system, how it is organized and how it functions -how the brain processes and creates thoughts and ideas Thomas Willis founder of clinical neuroscience, first anatomist to link abnormal behavior to changes in brain structure -made theory of how brain transfers information -isolated brain damage cognitive neuroscience received name in late 1970...

Course Objectives -To identify the intellectual underpinnings and history of the concepts of cognitive neuroscience -To develop a working knowledge of the central nervous system and the basic functions which underlie human behavior -To understand the behavioral and neuroscientific methods that are applied to the study of cognition and brain function -To explain the major theories and models of fundamental cognitive processes and explore current thinking on how such models guide the st...

How we can study the brain - study damaged brain to learn about the healthy brain - brain scans (mris) - create temporary lesions to understand brain functions What do we gain by studying processes at a neural level? - knowing when and where cognitive processes occur in the brain helps us to understand the nature of those processes - can be important for understanding and treating neurological disorders - knowing when and where effects occur in the brain can constrain cognitive theor...

Cognitive Neuroscience Final Exam Interneurons Connect spinal motor and sensory neurons The Action Potential: Step 1 - Threshold Triggering event depolarizes cell body. If the cell body gets positive enough to reach threshold of -55mV, the sodium channels will open. The Action Potential: Step 2 - Depolarization The sodium channels activate and the positively charged sodium ions flow into the negatively charged axon The Action Potential: Step 3 - Repolarization Brings the cell back to...

Cognitive Neuroscience Final Question and Answer Exam The Case of Phineas Gage a tamping iron was blown through his skull, destroying most of his left frontal lobe. Resulted in loss of social inhibitions and poor decision making Central Nervous System brain and spinal cord Brainpower Read More Peripheral Nervous System Sensory and motor division Sensory division collects impulses from sensory receptors like skin, muscles, and organs to carry to the CNS Motor division Somatic and au...
