Study Notes
Voluntary Movement
- The motor cortex is responsible for controlling voluntary movements in the body.
Neuroanatomy Theory
- The localization of function theory posits that different brain regions are specialized for specific behavioral functions.
Rational Thinking and Impulse Control
- The prefrontal cortex is associated with rational thinking and plays a crucial role in regulating impulse control.
Gender Differences in Cortex Thickness
- On average, females tend to have a thicker cortex compared to males, despite having smaller overall brain sizes.
Environmental Threat Assessment
- The amygdala is involved in assessing and responding to environmental threats and is essential for risk control.
