Neurophysiology and Learning September ‚ 2010 For the survival and progression of life as we know it‚ humans and non humans must rely on the fundamental aspects of learning. Learning is all around us‚ we experience it in our everyday lives‚ sometimes without even being aware of it. Theories of learning were introduced centuries ago‚ and being so important and of much significance in Psychology‚ they are continuously studied‚ revised and improved. A popular branch of the study of learning‚ Neurophysiology

is activated by the rise in blood temperature and is responsible for for controlling the mechanisms that will decrease the blood temperature. Efferent nerve impulses are sent from the hypothalamus to multiple different corrective mechanisms to try to decrease the blood temperature and maintain it at approximately 37℃. The efferent nerve impulses causes the smooth muscles to relax and as a result‚ opens up blood capillaries near the surface of the skin. This is known as vasodilation as the blood

Exercise 1: The effects of nerve stimulation A. Describe briefly what you have done for this section (maximum 100 words). Basically I am the volunteer. Two students handle the system while one student helps to spread the adequate electrode cream on the volunteer’s left wrist. The system is set to continuous‚ frequency is 1Hz‚ pulse duration at 200μs and pulse current at 10mA. The stimulator is switched off to disconnect the isolated stimulator terminals. The stimulus is then switched on and

communicate with thousands of other neurons in complex information-processing circuits. Recently developed technologies can record brain activity from outside the skull. One technique is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ which reconstructs a 3-D map of the subject’s brain activity. The results of brain imaging and other research methods show that groups of neurons function in specialized circuits dedicated to different tasks. The ability of cells to respond to the environment has evolved
