A theory that bumps on the skull indicate brain function.

The brain's ability to reorganize and adapt based on experience or damage.

The brain adapts and rewires itself through experiences.

Nerve cells conduct electricity and send chemical messages.

Certain brain systems are responsible for distinct functions.

Study of how culture influences brain activity and behavior.

Neurotransmitters that relay information between nerve cells.

The brain's ability to rewire itself after injury.

Regulates body's response to stress by signaling the pituitary gland.

A hormone released during stress that increases blood sugar levels.

Glands that release hormones like cortisol in response to stress.

Long-term stress can lead to increased risk of depression in individuals.

A technique to destroy specific brain cells to study impacts on function.

A method to measure electrical activity in the brain.

A scanning technique using magnetic fields to create detailed images of brain structures.

A type of MRI that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.

Measures electrical activity in neurons via scalp electrodes.

Higher right frontal lobe activity correlates to these symptoms.

Records magnetic fields from brain's electrical activity with a head coil.

Soldiers with PTSD show stronger magnetic fields in visual cortex for trauma images.

Tracks brain glucose levels during tasks to observe activity in areas related to fear and reward.

Monkeys with anxiety use more glucose in fear-related brain regions.

Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to map brain structure by putting a person in a chamber.

Individuals with violent histories often have smaller frontal lobes linked to moral judgment.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging detects brain activity by measuring changes in blood flow related to neural activity.

Viewing material connected to trauma activates fear, memory, and visual brain centers more than neutral stimuli.

The hindbrain controls essential survival functions like breathing, sleeping, and coordination.

The midbrain connects hindbrain and forebrain; it helps in movement coordination and sensory processing.

The forebrain manages complex cognitive activities, sensory functions, and voluntary motor skills.

Vertebrate brains have three main divisions: hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain for different functions.

Essential functions regulated by the hindbrain include airstreams, alertness, and body balance.

The midbrain plays a key role in enabling sensory input like seeing and hearing.

Two neural clusters in the limbic system linked to emotions like aggression and fear.

Neural structure below the thalamus that regulates homeostasis and drives like hunger and thirst.

The maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.

Areas in the brain associated with feelings of pleasure and reward.

Condition where the brain's reward system is underactive, leading to risk for addiction and depression.

Neural center involved in processing explicit memories of facts and events.

Outer layer of the brain divided into two hemispheres and four lobes responsible for higher brain functions.

Region of the cerebral cortex involved in planning, decision-making, and control of actions.

Region of the cerebral cortex involved in planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements.

Part of the cerebral cortex that processes sensory information from the body such as touch and body position.

Area located in the occipital lobe of the brain responsible for processing visual information from the eyes.

Found in the temporal lobes, this cortex processes auditory information received from the ears.

Systems that allow direct communication between the brain and external devices, often using electrodes.

Devices designed to restore lost functions in individuals with paralysis or amputations by interpreting brain signals.

Application of algorithms to interpret and learn from brain data, enhancing brain-computer interaction capabilities.
