Frontal Lobe/Amygdala Activity Quiz Experience 1. Purpose -The purpose of the experiment was to determine which part of the brain different people use when accidentally bumped into. The experiment was done in various places to people of different genders so the experiment was more random. The prefrontal cortex was the part of the brain that reasoned with what was happening; when people use this part of their brains their reactions are milder. The amygdala (part of the limbic system)

How different would my dreams have been if my EBA was damaged? EBA is an area in the occipital lobe that will respond strongly to the implication of a non-face body part‚ as defined in both the slides and the textbook. The first study to provide evidence for this region of the brain was done by Downing et al. (2001)‚ when they wanted to add to the

Researchers infer then that the problem has something to do with the fusiform gyrus itself or in the neural pathways that convey information from that area to other parts of the brain‚ like the occipital lobe‚ which processes visual information. so‚ prosopagnosics usually rely on voice‚ style of walking‚ hairstyle‚ clothing etc
