The brain and behavior (Con’t)
The Limbic System: includes parts of the thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala
regulation of emotion, memory, and motivation
Hippocampus - role in memory processesAmygdala – learning of fear response (parts of
the brain are needed for learning); semantic memories

The Brain – The Limbic System
Ring of structures located between the central core and the cerebral hemispheresImportant to learning and emotional behavior
Hippocampus essential in formation of new memoriesAmygdala, together with the
hippocampus, is important for regulating emotions

The brain and behavior (Con’t)
Cerebral Hemispheres – right and left halves of the cerebrum
Occipital – back of head – visual signals are sent and visual processing begins – Primary Visual Cortex
Parietal – forward of the occipital – registers sense of touch – Primary Somatosensory Cortex.Temporal – below the parietal – auditory processing – Primary Auditory CortexFrontal – continuing forward – principle areas that control the movement of muscles – Primary
Motor Cortex
Corpus Callosum – structure that connects the two cerebral hemispheres

The Cerebral Cortex
Occipital lobeReceives and processes visual
information
Temporal lobeComplex visual tasks such as face
recognitionReceives and processed auditory
informationInvolved in balance, some emotions and motivationsSome language processing

The Cerebral CortexParietal lobe
Receives sensory information from body
Involved in spatial abilities
Frontal lobeCoordinated information from
other lobesControls voluntary movement,
attention, setting goals, and expression of appropriate
emotions

Hemispheric SpecializationCorpus Callosum
Fibers that connect the two hemispheres
Allow close communication between left and right
hemishphere
Each hemisphere appears to specialize in certain functions

Neural Plasticity• The brain can be changed, both structurally and chemically, by
experience• Rat studies show that an “enriched” environment leads to
larger neurons with more connections• Has also been shown in humans• Recent research has uncovered evidence of neurogenesis, or
the production of new brain cells, in human brains

Tools for Studying the Nervous System
![Page 15: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Microelectrode Techniques• Very small electrodes inserted into individual neurons• Used to study activity of a single neuron
![Page 16: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Macroelectrode Techniques• Used to get a picture of overall activity in the brain• An example is an EEG, which uses electrodes placed on a
person’s scalp to measure brain activity
![Page 17: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Structural Imaging• Computerized Axial Tomography (CT-scan)• Uses X-rays to create a 3-dimensional image of the brain
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)• Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images
![Page 18: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Functional Imaging• EEG imaging• electrical activity on the scalp from millions of neurons is used to
produce a continuous picture of activity in the brain• Magentoencephalography (MEG) and Magnetic source
imaging (MSI)• Can localize activity more precisely than EEG
![Page 19: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Functional Imaging• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon
Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)• Use radioactive glucose to determine location of greatest brain
activity• Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)• Shows function and structure by measuring movement of blood
molecules within the brain

The Endocrine System
![Page 21: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Endocrine System
Endocrine System – glands that secrete chemicals into the bloodstream/help control bodily functioning
Hormones Controlled by the nervous system through the
hypothalamusConnection with the Pituitary gland – “Master
Gland”
Hypothalamus > ANS > Pituitary Gland > Adrenal Gland
![Page 22: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Endocrine SystemHelps coordinate and integrate complex psychological reactionsEndocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstreamHormones serve to organize the nervous system and bodyHormones also activate behavior, such as sexual behavior
![Page 23: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Endocrine System
Thyroid glandSecretes hormones
(primarily thyroxin) that control metabolism
Parathyroid glandsControl levels of calcium and
phosphate which in turn controls levels of excitability
![Page 24: Brain and Behavior. The Brain – The Central Core Medulla Controls breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure Pons Maintains the sleep-wake cycle Cerebellum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8d18/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Endocrine SystemPineal gland
Secretes melatonin which regulates the sleep-wake
cyclePons
PancreasRegulates blood-sugar levels
Secretes insulin and glucagon

The Endocrine SystemPituitary gland
Referred to as the “master gland” because it regulates
many other glands
GonadsOvaries and testes secrete estrogens and androgens
Adrenal glandsSecretes hormones in
reaction to stress
