  1. UNIT 3B BIOLOGICAL BASES OF BEHAVIOR: THE BRAIN

  2. UNIT OVERVIEW • The Tools of Discovery: Having our Head Examined • Older Brain Structures • The Cerebral Cortex • Our Divided Brain • Right-Left Differences in the Intact Brain • The Brain and Consciousness

  3. THE TOOLS OF DISCOVERY: HAVING OUR HEAD EXAMINED

  4. STUDYING THE BRAIN • Lesion • Stimulate (electronically, chemically or magnetically)

  5. RECORDING THE BRAIN’S ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY • Electroencephalograph (EEG)

  6. NEUROIMAGING TECHNOLOGY • CT (Computed Tomography) scan • PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) • fMRI (functional MRI)

  7. WHICH TYPE OF SCAN?

  8. WHICH TYPE OF SCAN

  11. OLDER BRAIN STRUCTURES

  12. THE BRAIN STEM • Brainstem • Medulla • Pons • Reticular formation

  13. THE THALAMUS • Thalamus • Receives sensory information from all the senses EXCEPT smell

  14. THE CEREBELLUM • Cerebellum • “little brain”

  15. THE LIMBIC SYSTEM • Limbic system • Hippocampus

  16. THE LIMBIC SYSTEMTHE AMYGDALA • Amygdala • Aggression, fear

  17. THE LIMBIC SYSTEMTHE HYPOTHALAMUS • Hypothalamus • Influence on the pituitary gland • Reward centers • Reward deficiency syndrome
