Study Notes
Brain Functionality
- The main function of the human brain is to process and integrate sensory information from the environment.
Visual Processing
- The occipital lobe is associated with visual processing.
Sensory System
- The function of the sensory system is to receive and process external stimuli.
- The sensory system collects information from the environment through sensory receptors, interprets it, and eventually responds to it.
Internal Representations
- Internal representations in the context of sensory systems refer to the internal mental images or maps that the brain creates to interpret and understand sensory information.
Executive Functions
- The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as decision-making and planning.
Brain Malfunction
- Malfunction of parts of the brain can lead to various disorders and diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or Huntington's.
Association Areas
- The primary function of the association areas in the brain is to integrate information from different sensory modalities.
Astrocytes
- Astrocytes primarily provide nutrients and oxygen to neurons and remove waste products in the brain.
Sensory Processing
- The sensory system is responsible for receiving and processing external stimuli.
Thalamus
- A key anatomical feature of the thalamus is that it serves as a relay station for sensory information, allowing for conscious perception.
Hypnosis
- The phenomenon of hypnosis involves victims being seemingly hypnotized to do something out of their will.
Altered States
- The "sabaw/lutang" state is characterized by a disconnection between conscious and unconscious thoughts.
Brain Routing
- The thalamus is responsible for routing conscious and unconscious thoughts through different sequences of neural processing centers.
Neural Development
- The rhombencephalon, one of the primary vesicles of the neural tube, gives rise to the cerebellum.
