Document Summary
Chapter 7: the neuroscience of personality: people who meditated showed greater brain activation on the left prefrontal cortex of their brains both at rest and in response to positive and negative emotional events. As a special bonus, participants in the medication group also showed better immune functioning than participants in the control group. What is neuroscience and how do we study it: the nervous system is made up of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is further divided into the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. Csf is similar to blood plasma, and is continually produced, circulated, and reabsorbed through the brain and the ventricles. Bodily responses: sweating is measured by galvanic skin response (gsr), which is a measure of skin conductance or how quickly a slight electrical current passes through two points on the skin.
