Cognitive neuroscience Final Exam with complete solutions A patient reports that she is functionally blind after a focal brain injury, even though her eyes and optic nerves are completely intact. Of the structures listed here, the most probable location for the brain injury is the: inferior colliculus. lateral geniculate nucleus. superior temporal lobe. postcentral gyrus. - answerlateral geniculate Nucleus A change in the resting potential from -70mV to -73mV is called: depolarization ...

Cognitive neuroscience Final Exam with complete solutions Which part of the neuron detects incoming signals? - answerDendrites Which part of the neuron contains the nucleus and cellular machinery? - answerCell Body Which part of the neuron transmits signals to other neurons? - answerAxon Which part of the neuron releases neurotransmitters when the cell fires? - answerAxon Terminals Which part of the neuron provides insulation around the axons of many neurons and helps to increase conduct...

Cognitive neuroscience Exam with complete solutions 2024 White Matter - answerAxons, myelin, glia cells Grey matter - answerCell bodies Agonist - answerChemical that promotes activity at a receptor. Drug (acts like a neurotransmitter and can have different effects depending on channel or receptor ie excitatory/positive ion flow or inhibitory/neg ion flow) Antagonist - answerChemical that blocks activity at a receptor (I.e no ion flow) event-related potential (ERP) - answerSmall voltage f...

Cognitive neuroscience summary chapter 2 Gazzaniga Glial Cells - answerNonneural cells that serve various functions in the nervous system, including providing structural support and electrical insulation to neurons and modulating neuronal activity. Soma - answerThe cell body of a neuron. Neuron - answerThe basic signaling units that transmit information throughout the neevous system. Dendrites - answerBranching extensions of the neuron that recieve imputs from other neurons. They take m...

Cognitive neuroscience summary frontal lobe - answermass of cortex anterior to central sulcus and dorsal to the sylvian fissue; contains the motor and prefrontal cortex parietal lobe - answerCortical lobe located posterior to central sulcus anterior to occipital lobe, superior to posterior temporal cortex; contains many neurons, including somatosensory cortex, gustatory cortex, and parietal association cortex which are all involved in orientation, attention, and representation of space te...

Cognitive neuroscience summary cognitive neuroscience - answerthe scientific study of biological structure that underpin cognitive processes. Paul Broca - answerfrench physician, anatomist and anthropologist. 1860s he discovered how damage to an area of the frontal lobe could impair speech production permanently. This area became known as Broca's area. modern research methods: functional MRI, ERPS, ECG - what can scientists now do with this modern technology? - answerscientists can now ...

Cognitive neuroscience summary Cognitive neuroscience - answerThe study of the physiological basis of cognition Franz Josef Gall & Phrenology - answer(1796) Idea of localization of function. Different parts of the brain are responsible for a certain mental function Broca & Tan - answerBroca's patient could only say "tan", after his death they found damaged to the focal region of the brain. Broca assumed that the focal region is responsible for speech production, this area, in the fronta...

Cognitive Neuroscience Chapter 1: History of Cognitive Neuroscience Thomas Willis - answerfirst to link specific brain damage to specific behavioral deficits, theorize how the brain transfers information Neuronal conduction - answerWillis began this theory of how the brain transfers infromation Cognitive neuroscience definition - answerdiscipline geared towards understanding how the brain works, who brain structure and function affect behavior and how the brain enables the mind Cignition...

Cognitive Neuroscience Ch. 3 Methods of Cognitive Neuroscience optogenetics - answera procedure in which a genetic manipulation is performed that will result in the expression of a photosensitive protein. the experimenter can then activate the neurons by exposing the tissue to light. the genetic manipulation can be modified such that the protein expression is limited to particular neural regions cognitive psychology - answerthe branch of psychology that studies how the mind internally rep...
