Empiricism – the view that knowledge originates in experience and that science should‚ therefore‚ rely on observation and experimentation 3. John Locke – Created idea of “tabula rasa” (blank slate)‚ which means that the mind at birth is blank and we learn from experience. 4.

The cerebrospinal fluid acts primarily as a shock-absorber for the brain. It is‚ as talked about in a previous question‚ a method of protection for the brain. DESCRIBE THE FUNCTION OF EACH REGION OF THE CEREBRAL CORTEX. There are four lobes making up the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is located in the front of the brain. It’s associated with cognition‚ motor skills and reasoning (something that sets humans apart from other organisms). The parietal lobe is associated with processing

Chapter 48 Nervous Systems Lecture Outline Overview: Command and Control Center The human brain contains an estimated 1011 (100 billion) neurons. Each neuron may 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

areas located in the cerebral cortex which goes into the process of producing language. Broca’s area is found in the forebrain division of the brain. Directionally‚ Broca’s area is located in the lower portion of the left frontal lobe. Broca’s area is involved in several functions that include speech reproduction‚ facial neuron control‚ and language processing. Carl Wernicke’s contributes to Wernicke’s area.

The orbito-frontal cortex (the part of the brain directly behind the eyes) is responsible for integrating emotional responses generated in the limbic system with higher cognitive functions‚ such as planning and language‚ in the cerebral cortex’s prefrontal lobes. The left orbito-frontal cortex is responsible for memory creation while the right orbito-frontal cortex is responsible for memory retrieval. Healthy functioning requires an integrated

The cerebral cortex is responsible for labeling an event threatening or harmful. The hypothalamus gets information from the cerebral cortex to initiate the flight or fight response also known as sympathetic nervous system arousal. This arousal stimulates the medulla of the adrenal glands which then secrets epinephrine and
