\u00a0STRUCTURE OF THE VERTEBRAE iERVOUS SYSTEM <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Ganglion<\/strong>: cluster of neuron cell bodies, usually outside CNS<\/p>\n
(axon bundles) carry sensory info, and exiting ventral roots carry motor info<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Hindbrain <\/u><\/strong>\u00a0(rhombencephalon)<\/p>\n
\uf0e0 breathing, heart rate, vomiting, salivation, coughing, through cranial nerves<\/p>\n
Superior <\/strong>(vision)\/inferior <\/strong>(hearing) colliculus<\/strong>: swellings on each side of tectum; important for sensory processing<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Forebrain <\/u><\/strong>\u00a0(prosencephalon)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Endocrine gland attached to base of hypothalamus by a stalk that contains neurons, blood vessels and connective tissue<\/p>\n
(membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord)<\/p>\n
Cerebrospinal fluid cushions brain against mechanical shock when head moves; provides buoyancy; supports weight of brain; reservoir of hormones and nutrition for brain and spinal cord<\/p>\n
Damage to prefrontal cortex \uf0e0 trouble on delayed-response task<\/strong> (see\/hear something, then have to respond after delaying)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Transcranial magnetic stimulation<\/strong>: apply intense magnetic field to a portion of the scalp, temporarily inactivates neurons below the magnet<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 Brain size isn\u2019t strongly related to intelligence<\/p>\n
(ex: humans have largest brains in proportion to our body \uf0e0 most intelligent) Problem: 1) brain-to-body ratio not accurate 2) lack meaning of animal intelligence<\/p>\n
