Lashley’s Search for the Engram in the 1920s After training, cortical lesions are made. Three different lesion locations are shown in red, blue, and yellow Errors are associated with the size rather than the locus of the lesion. Rats are trained to run through a maze without entering blind alleys.

Photographs of Human Fetal Brain Development Lateral view of the human brain shown at one-third size at several stages of fetal development.Note the gradual emergence of gyri and sulci.
Eight Phases in Embryonic and Fetal Development at a Cellular Level • Mitosis/Proliferation • Migration • Differentiation • Aggregation • Synaptogenesis • Neuron Death • Synapse Rearrangement • Myelination 8 stages are sequential for a given neuron, but all are occurring simultaneously throughout fetal development
Recovery from Aphasia: Imaging Neural Correlates Metabolic correlates of recovery in 2 patients. Perilesional regions near damaged left inferior frontal gyrus identified by single subject fMRI analysis. Rosen et al. (2000) Neurology, 55,1883-1894.
Behavioral Remediation for Dyslexia: Imaging Brain Outcomes Phonological training in dyslexics who have little or no activation in left neocortical regions activated during reading in normal children results in increased activation in critical regions on the left AND increased activation in homologous right neocortex. Temple et al. (2003) PNAS, 100, 2860-2865.
Orbital Frontal Cortex and Impaired Social and Sexual Behavior After an on-the-job explosion blew a 13-pound tamping rod straight through Gage's head, the well-liked construction foreman remained conscious. He was able to talk and even walked to the cart that took him to Cavendish, Vermont where he was treated by Dr. John Martyn Harlow.
