Document Summary

In order to correct this scoville removed parts of the medial temporal lobes, crucially. Except he had a personality shift but he still could talk and do stuff. Accidental explosion sent his tamping iron straight through his head. Brain injuries are a potential source of information about the biological bases of cognition. Injuries to different areas of the brain appear to result in direct impairments, suggesting that different areas of the brain perform different functions. The cortex is the surface of the brain, also known as grey matter. Also called a fissure, especially for the major sulci. The hypothesis is that areas with different forms perform different functions. Korbinian brodmann spent years slicing and staining different areas of human and monkey brains. Auditory cortex located in superior temporal lobe, comprised of the transverse temporal gyri. Motor cortex doesn t control specific muscles, but organizes complex movements that involve body parts.
