PSYB65H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Anterior Cerebral Artery, Posterior Cerebral Artery, Middle Cerebral Artery
Document Summary
Agenesis of cerebellum: by freud linge, angenesis : failure of brain regions to develop, ataxia: in cerebellum: failure of muscular coordination and balance, cerebellum contain most neuron. Brains primary func is to produce movement and behaviour. Fabrication: produced by chain of reactions that takes place when vibrating air molecules hit the ear drum. Priciple 1: the nervous system produces movement in a perceptual world the brain constructs. The brain is plastic: neural tissue has the capacity to adapt to the world by changing gits func how it is organized. Important aspect of human learning and brain plasticity: development of lang and expansion of brain regions related to lang. Neuroplasticity: nvs fundamental potential for physical or chemical change that enhances its adaptability to envoi change and its ability to compensate the injury. Phenotypic plasticity: individuals capcity to develop into one or more phenotype: ex: two mice cloned: but different because their mothers were fed differently when pregnant.
