Study Notes
Brain Imaging Techniques
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly used to study the brain's structure.
Brain Function and Language
- Paul Broca discovered that damage to a specific area of the brain (Broca's area) can lead to language difficulties.
Neuropsychology
- Neuropsychology primarily emphasizes the study of the relationship between the brain and behavior.
Non-invasive Imaging Techniques
- Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Electroencephalography (EEG) are non-invasive imaging techniques used to measure brain and behavior.
Computational Neuroscience and Deep Learning
- Computational neuroscience and deep learning focus on developing computational models to understand brain function and behavior.
Chemical and Genetic Measures
- Chemical and genetic measures are used to study the biological basis of behavior and brain function.
Biological Bases of Behavior
- The study of the biological bases of behavior is called behavioral neuroscience.
Brainbow Technique
- John Sanes and Jeff Lichtman developed a transgenic technique called Brainbow for labeling different neurons with distinct colors.
Cerebral Cortex
- Korbinian Brodmann divided the cerebral cortex into 52 distinct regions based on the characteristics of neurons.
Deep Brain Structures Visualization
- CLARITY, a contemporary technique, allows for visualization of deep brain structures without relying on histological sectioning.
- Kwanghun Chung and Karl Deisseroth developed tissue-clearing techniques that allowed for the visualization of deep brain structures.
Animal Behavior
- The objective study of animal behavior, especially under natural conditions, is called ethology.
Brain Function Measurement
- Functional localization uses specifically designed tasks to measure brain functions linked to a particular brain structure or pathway.
Brain Cells and Connections
- Jean Livet and his colleagues developed a technique to visualize individual brain cells and their connections.
Abnormal and Normal Behavior
- The study of both normal and abnormal behavior is called behavioral neuroscience.
Challenges in Behavioral Neuroscience
- The major challenges faced in the field of behavioral neuroscience include understanding the complexity of brain function and behavior.
