Phineas Gage was injured in a railroad accident in 1848.
He suffered a brain injury that changed his personality.
• Gage was struck in the head by
an iron bar. The bar rammed
through Gage’s brain and out
the top of his head.
• Gage recovered from the
physical effects of the wound,
but his personality was altered.
The Accident and the Aftermath
Case Study: The Brain of Phineas Gage
• After Gage’s death, his family
donated his skull to a museum.
• Studies showed that the rod
severely damaged an area in
the brain related to personality.
• Other studies found similar
changes after injuries to the
same part of the brain.

The Nervous System
• The nervous system functions as a communication
system for the body. Messages are transmitted by
neurons to axons and dendrites.
• The nervous system is made up of the central nervous
system and the peripheral nervous system, which
transmits messages between the central nervous system
and all parts of the body.

The nervous system has two parts. The central nervous system consists of
the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of
nerve cells that send messages between the central nervous system and other
parts of the body. Nerve cells are called neurons.
• The cell body produces energy
that fuels the neuron’s activity.
• Dendrites receive information
from other neurons and pass
the message through the cell
body.
• An axon transmits information
away from the cell body.
Components of a Neuron
Neurons
• Myelin is a white, fatty
substance that covers the axon,
insulating and protecting it. The
myelin sheath helps to speed
up the work of neurons.
• Axon terminals branch out at
the end of the axon.

The Communication Process
• Messages are sent from the axon terminals of one neuron to the
dendrites of another neuron.
• In order for this process to happen, the message must cross a
synapse.
• A synapse is a junction between the axon terminals of one neuron
and the dendrites of another.
• Messages travel in only one direction. Messages
– enter the dendrites
– travel through the cell body and axon to the axon terminals
– cross the synapses to the dendrites of other neurons

• Neurons send messages across synapses through the release of
neurotransmitters.
• Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in sacs in the axon
terminals.
• A neuron fires, or sends a message, by releasing neurotransmitters.
– The message is converted into an electrical impulse that travels through
the neuron.
– The message is transmitted to the next neuron by other
neurotransmitters until the message arrives at its destination.
• There are several kinds of neurotransmitters.
– Acetylcholine is involved in the control of muscles and in learning and
memory.
– Dopamine is involved primarily in motor behavior.

Answer: A neuron fires neurotransmitters to carry
a message to another neuron; there, the message
is converted into an electrical impulse which
travels the length of the neuron and is then
transmitted to another neuron by
neurotransmitters.

• In ancient times, people did not attribute human psychological
processes such as thinking to the working of the brain.
• Instead, people widely believed that the body was inhabited by souls
or demons.
• Ancient Egyptians believed that a little person dwelled within the skull
and regulated behavior.
• The Greek philosopher Aristotle thought that the soul resided in the
heart.
• Today we recognize that the mind, or consciousness, dwells within
the brain.

The Forebrain
• The thalamus serves a relay station for sensory stimulation.
• The hypothalamus is vital to the regulation of body temperature, the
storage of nutrients, and various aspects of motivation and emotion.
It is also involved in hunger, thirst, sexual behavior, caring for
offspring, and aggression.
• The limbic system is involved in learning and memory, emotion,
hunger, sex, and aggression.
• The cerebrum makes up about 70 percent of the brain’s weight and
is where most conscious and intellectual activities take place.
• The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. It is the part that
thinks, and it also deals with memory, language, emotions, complex
motor skills, perception, and more.

• The cerebral cortex has a left side and right side.
• Each side is called a hemisphere.
• The corpus callosum is the structure that connects the two
hemispheres.
• Information received by one side of the body is transmitted to the
opposite hemisphere of the brain.
• Each hemisphere is divided into four parts:
– frontal lobe
– parietal lobe
– temporal lobe
– occipital lobe

Senses and Motor
Behavior
• The occipital lobe is the primary
visual area of the cerebral cortex.
• The temporal lobe is the hearing, or
auditory, area of the cerebral
cortex.
• Messages received from the skin’s
sensory receptors are projected to
the sensory cortex in the parietal
lobe.
• These sensations include warmth,
cold, touch, and pain.
Association Areas
• The association areas of the
cerebral cortex shape information
into something meaningful.
• The association areas in the
frontal lobes function as the
brain’s executive center.
• Association areas provide the core
of the working memory.
• The frontal region of the brain thus
retrieves visual, auditory, and
other kinds of memories.
• Other association areas make
possible the psychological
functions of language.

Language Abilities
• For nearly all right-handed people,
language functions are based in the
left hemisphere.
• Language functions are also based
in the left hemisphere of about two
out of three left-handed people.
• Wernicke’s area connects sounds
and sights. When this area is
damaged, people find it difficult to
understand speech.
• Broca’s area is involved in speech.
When this area is damaged, people
speak slowly and use simple
sentences.
Left and Right
Hemispheres
• The left hemisphere is usually
more involved in logic, problem
solving, and mathematical
computation.
• The right hemisphere is more
concerned with imagination, art,
feelings, and spatial relations.
• Split-brain operations have taught
psychologists much of what they
know about left- and right-
hemisphere functioning.

the brain is related to psychological
functions through the study of brain
damage due to accidents.
Electrical Stimulation
• Electrical stimulation of the brain
has shown that specific areas are
associated with specific types of
sensations.
• It is not a reliable research tool.
Lesions
• Scientists can study a brain by
cutting, removing, or destroying
parts of it.
• This method is used on laboratory
animals.
Electroencephalogram
• The EEG is a device that records
electrical activity of the brain.

• Heredity is the transmission of characteristics from parents to
offspring.
• Psychologists study heredity to understand people’s behavior.
• Genes are the building blocks of heredity.
• Genes are found in threadlike structures called chromosomes.
– Genes are composed of DNA.
– Most normal human cells have 46 pairs of chromosomes divided into 23
pairs.
– In each pair, one chromosome is from the father and one is from the
mother.
– The twenty-third pair determines gender.
– When a child is born without all 46 chromosomes, physical and
behavioral disorders may result.

• The debate over the role of biology in determining who we are as
people is called the “nature-nurture” issue.
• Nature refers to what people inherit.
• Nurture refers to environmental factors.
• “Nature” supporters argue that biological makeup primarily
determines people’s traits and personalities.
• “Nurture” supporters argue that the environment and everyday
experiences determine how we behave and think.
• Both views are extreme.
• Most psychologists think that both nature and nurture determine
psychological traits.
• The role of heredity is still a controversial topic.

The Genographic Project
Have you ever wondered where your ancestors came from? Some families can
trace their history back several centuries. But where were your ancestors 1,000
or 10,000 years ago? A remarkable program called the Genographic Project
aims to map the migratory history of all humankind. What can it tell us about
what we have inherited from our ancestors?
Current Research in Psychology
• The Genographic Project analyzes
DNA voluntarily contributed by
people around the world.
• The project aims to find out how
people migrated and populated the
world.
• Another goal is to learn why people
look so different from each other.
• The ultimate goal of the project is to
uncover a web of migration stories
that will explain how humans
populated the world and to show
how closely the human family is
related.
• The project relies on DNA
contributions from hundreds of
thousands of people.
