  1. Biological Bases of Behavior 8-10% of the AP Exam An intro to the relationship between physiological processes and behavior

  2. The Brain Is there anything you do in a 24 hour period, which is not related to operations in your brain?

  3. Key Structures of the BrainMake 4 Colum's Titled: Structure, Function, Location, Damage • Wernicke’s Area • Temporal/parietal lobe (left side) • Center for understanding language • Damage = may result in losing ability to understand speech or parts of it. Ex: may be able to understand nouns and verbs, but not prepositions. • Broca’s Area • Frontal lobe (left side) • Center for expressing language • Damage = loss of speech or inability to say what is intended

  4. Key Structures, con’t • Thalamus • Forebrain • Sends sensory and motor messages to other parts of brain • Damage = may result in sensory experiences not being sent to other areas of brain to be recorded as memories • Cerebellum • Hindbran • Controls walking, balance, coordination • Damage = ability to walk smoothly or coordinate sight with action

  5. Key Structures, con’t • Auditory Cortex • Temporal lobe • Center for hearing • Damage = sensations from ear recv’d by brain but may not be interpreted ‘ “perceptive deafness” • Primary visual cortex • Occipital lobe • Reconstruct • Damage = signals sent from eye may not be coded into recognizable images

  6. Key Structures, con’t • Hypothalamus • Between thalamus and pituitary gland • Regulates emotions, hunger & thirst • Damage = may result in eating disorders (either over-eating or under-eating) • Pituitary gland • Beneath hypothalamus • Controls body’s endocrine system • Damage = may affect growth, metabolism and sex drive

  7. Key Structures, con’t • Cerebral Cortex • Forebrain • Center for info processing, rational thought, decision making • Damage = reasoning abilities may be altered = may react more emotionally • Medulla • Hindbrain • Regulates vital involuntary functions like breathing & blood flow • Damage = severe damage could result in death
