Document Summary

Iii. forebrain thalamus hypothalamus cerebral cortex frontal lobe parietal lobe temporal lobe occipital lube great cortex! Convolutions gives more cortical surface area while keeping the same volume. We are relatively more dependent on cortex (cid:858)e(cid:374)(cid:272)ephalizatio(cid:374)": cortex controls things in us that hindbrain used to do. Sensation: a receptor cell detects a stimulus to cause a response.

Sense organs have specialized neurons- receptor cells e. g. , eye with rods and cones sensory receptor cells detect a particular form of energy adequate stimulus, e. g. , light: reception, transduction, coding. Subthreshold/ subliminal stimuli too weak to detect. Absolute threshold reliably detect stimulus 50% of the time.
