Document Summary
Concluded that speech production is located in the third frontal convolution of the left frontal lobe a region now called broca"s area: neuropsychology-the study of the relationships between brain function and behavior with a particular emphasis on humans. Histological- brains were sectioned postmortem, and the tissue stained with various dyes light microscope-(brodmann) staining brain can to identify cell bodies and stain individual neurons to reveal their complete structure. Dentate gyrus-(memory formation and learning). subregion of the hippocampus. Behavioral neuroscience-study of the biological bases of behavior-brain behavior relationships in humans and other animal. Ethology-study of animal behavior, especially under natural conditions. Neuropsychological testing of humans: memory disturbance-damage to temporal lobes, neuropsychological 3 memory tests, corsi block-tapping. Neural bases of sensation, cognition, memory, emotion, and movement created mazes and other tests and tasks to determine the neural circuitry underlying specific behaviors in laboratory animals. Rats have very large behavioral repertoires, meaning that they display a long list of capabilities.
