Unit 3: Biological (8-10% combined) – 3B The BrainAn effective introduction to the relationship between physiological processes and behavior — including the influence of neural function, the nervous system and the brain, and genetic contributions to behavior — is an important element in the AP course.This Unit is split up into 3 mini units to help one digest the informationLearning Objectives? Describe the nervous system and its subdivisions and functions: — major brain regions, lobes, and cortical areas; (3B)— brain lateralization and hemispheric specialization. (3B)? Discuss the role of neuroplasticity in traumatic brain injury. (3B)? Recount historic and contemporary research strategies and technologies that support research (e.g., case studies, split-brain research, imaging techniques). (3B)? Identify key contributors (3B &3C)Vocab 33 terms(* = app)LesionEEG*CT scan*PET scan*MRI* fMRI*brainstem*medulla*reticular formation*thalamus*cerebellum*limbic systemamygdala*hypothalamus*cerebral cortexglial cellsfrontal lobe*parietal lobes*occipital lobes*temporal lobes*motor cortex*sensory cortex*association areas*aphasiaBroca’s area*Wernicke’s areas*Plasticityneurogenesiscorpus callosumsplit brainconsciousness*cognitive neurosciencedual processing*Key FiguresPaul Broca Phineas Gage Michael Gazzaniga Roger SperryCark WernickeReadingsThe Tools of Discovery – Neuroimaging (pgs. 66-68)Older Brian Structures (pgs. 69-73)The Cerebral Cortex (pgs. 74-83)Our Divided Brain (pgs. 83-86)Right Left Differences (pgs. 86-88)The Brain and Consciousness (pgs. 89-91)Chapter OutlineThe Tools of Discovery: Having Out Head ExaminedRecording the Brain’s Electrical ActivityNeuroimaging TechniquesOlder Brain StructuresThe BrainstemThe ThalamusThe CerebellumThe Limbic SystemThe AmygdalaThe HypothalamusThe Cerebral CortexStructure of the CortexFunctions of the CortexMotor FunctionsSensory FunctionsAssociation AreasLanguageThe Brain’s PlasticityOur Divided BrainSplitting the BrainRight-Left DifferencesThe Brain and Consciousness Cognitive NeuroscienceDual ProcessingThe Two-Tract MindPLANNERDATEASSIGNMENTDUE DATE9/24Neuroimaging & Older Brain Structure9/259/25The Cerebral Cortex 9/269/25Brain Book10/2 @ beginning of class9/26Our Divided Brain & Right Left Differences9/279/28-10/1Work on Brain Book10/2 @ beginning of class10/2Study for Unit ExamUnit Exam on 10/3 ................
