Study Notes
Brain Structures and Functions
- The amygdala is responsible for processing fear responses in the brain.
Sensory Perception
- The thalamus is the part of the brain responsible for sensory perception.
Research Methods
- The study by Feinstein et al. (2011) used the lesion method.
Brain Layers
- The outermost layer of the brain is called the cerebrum.
Language Processing
- The frontal lobe is responsible for processing speech.
Visual Processing
- The occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing.
Personality and Rationality
- The prefrontal cortex is the component of the brain responsible for personality and rationality.
Synaptic Pruning
- Synaptic pruning is the process of eliminating unused synapses in the brain.
Cerebral Cortex
- The four different components of the cerebral cortex are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe.
Emotional and Behavioral Responses
- The limbic system is the term for the part of the brain responsible for our behavioral and emotional responses.
