Brain & Tech.
This technology involves tracking blood flow to certain areas of the brain during conscious thought.
What is an fMRI?
This is where Broca’s area is located.
What is the left frontal lobe?
Karl Lashley used these subjects in his experiment on localization.
What are rats/mice?
This neurotransmitter has an effect on prosocial behavior.
What is serotonin?
Defined as gene expression attributed to environmental influences. What is this concept?
What are EPIGENETICS or EPIGENETIC CHANGES?
EEGs measure this during sleep?
What are brain waves?
This is where Wernicke’s area is located.
What is the left temporal lobe?
This term describes brain damage that impedes speech and language.
What is Broca’s aphasia and Wernicke’s aphasia?
This study observed the effects of romantic love on dopamine in the brain.
What is Fisher, Aron, and Brown (2005)?
This study format is preferred to evaluate inherited components of genetics in pheno and genotypes. This study method is used in Crisp et al (1985) and most commonly by Bouchard.
What are TWIN STUDIES?
Freed (2001) used this to test dopamine’s effect on Parkinson’s.
What is a PET scan?
These are the four lobes of the brain.
What are the frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes?
These two theories describe localization.
What are strict and relative?
Controversy and lack of concrete evidence are both weaknesses of this chemical messenger study.
What is pheromone research?
In EVOLUTION organisms are driven by the need to survive and reproduce, this means organisms who are not successful in this pursuit do not pass on their genes.
What is NATURAL SELECTION?
Fisher, Aron and Brown (2005) used this technology to study the brain’s response to love.
What is an fMRI?
This study showed neuroplasticity and cortical remapping in monkeys.
What is Merzenich et al (1984)?
This person used neural stimulation to create the cortical homunculus.
Who is Wilder Penfield (1937)?
Ethnocentrism, inter-group favoritism, and defensive non-cooperation are influenced by this hormone.
What is oxytocin?
The process when chemicals are added to the DNA molecule leading to gene repression.
What is GENE METHYLATION?
This study used an MRI to track structural changes in subjects that learned how to juggle.
What is Draganski (2004)?
Draganski et al (2004) showed that this area of the brain had more gray matter, showing neuroplasticity.
What is the mid-temporal area?
Sperry and Gazzaniga found this function of the brain was not localized in their study.
What is language?
McCoy and Pitino(2002) set out to produce this type of behavior.
What is socio-sexual behavior?
In this CASE STUDY, chemicals that inhibit gene transcription are studied in rats with more or less nurturing mothers. As a result, less nurturing mothers had offspring with higher production of stress hormones, and nurturing mothers have offspring with lower production of stress hormones.
What is WEAVER ET AL (2004)?
