PS1005 Provide an overview of the principal structures of the midbrain‚ hindbrain and forebrain and their functions. The human nervous system consists of many structures. We distinguish between the central- and the peripheral nervous system. The two major subdivisions of the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord‚ which is found in the spinal column.

Broca’s area. Williams et al (2010) point out that such damage to this area can lead to significant impairment to communication. However‚ there is another language centre in the brain: the Wernicke’s area‚ located in the superior posterior temporal lobe. Both the Wernicke’s and Broca’s area are connected by a large bundle of nerve fibres called the arcuate fasciculus‚ which play an instrumental role in connecting both language centres of the brain‚ allowing for the sequence of the interpretation and

Psychology chapter three vocabulary nervous system‚ a collection of hundreds of billions of specialized and interconnected cells through which messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body.

Ungerleider and Mishkin’s what vs. where model was a lesion study by Pohl. In this study‚ a food reward was hidden in a hole and the monkey had to figure out where the object was and where the food would be. It was discovered that damage to the parietal lobe (dorsal stream) made it difficult for the monkey to accomplish this task indicating damage to the “where” pathway. Similarly‚ Pohl performed a task where food was hidden in the hole closest to the new object‚ so the monkey had to discriminate between
