A brain imaging technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow.

Visual representations indicating areas of the brain activated during specific tasks or mental processes.

The dynamic process involving neurons firing and communicating during mental tasks.

Cognitive operations like thinking, memory, and decision-making that involve brain function.

Change in blood circulation corresponding to increased brain activity, detected by fMRI.

The study of behavior evolution, genetics, and adaptability using comparisons across species.

The process through which species change over time through adaptation and selection.

The ability of behavior to increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.

A research strategy that involves comparing behaviors across different species to draw conclusions.

The study of how genetic makeup influences behavior in animals and humans.

A lack of awareness of a part of one's body, leading to inability to recognize it.

The conscious recognition of one's body and its parts.

The sense of the relative position of one’s own parts of the body.

A disorder caused by problems in the nervous system, affecting awareness or perception.

Part of the brain responsible for processing body sensations and awareness.
