Audition
These receptors are involved in audition.
What are mechanoreceptors?
This sense is closely linked to memory.
Olfaction!
Nociceptive stimuli is experienced as this.
What is Pain?
These are the names for the three swellings that become visible at the anterior (front surface) end of the human neural tube.
forebrain (prosencephalon)
midbrain (mesencephalon)
hindbrain (rhombencephalon)
This type of selection allows humans to select desirable traits in animals, rather than leaving the species to evolve and change gradually without human interference. (This is how we get dogs like golden doodles!)
What is artificial selection or selective breeding?
The primary auditory cortex is in this lobe of the brain.
What is the temporal lobe?
These receptors are involved in olfaction & gustation.
What are chemoreceptors?
These are neurons that fire in response to making a particular movement & observing somebody else making the movement.
What is a mirror neuron?
This is the folding process that results in the formation of the neural tube.
What is Neurulation
This stage of development refers to cells actively dying.
What is Apoptosis?
The cochlea contains a “map” of inputs from the high-frequency sound which is mediated at the base and low-frequency sound at the apex (end).
The auditory system has this type of organization.
What is tonotopic organization?
This is the name of the little bumps that you can see on your tongue.
What is papillae?
This structure is thought to be involved in the integration of the sensory information responsible for initiating a movement
What is the Posterior parietal cortex?
This structure becomes visible in a developing embryo 18 days after conception.
What is the Neural plate?
Participants might be shown an image, then the exact same image with a change, and asked to identify the change. What phenomena is this experiment testing?
What is Change blindness?
-failure to detect changes in a visual scene!
This structure turns physical vibrations into electrical impulses the brain can identify as sounds.
What is the cochlea?
Olfaction is unique because it is the only sensory modality that does not have to pass through the this structure before heading to the cortex.
What is the thalamus?
This pathway carries information about pain and temperature.
What is the Spinothalamic tract?
The peripheral nervous system forms from this structure in early development.
What is the neural crest?
This area of the brain shows activation for both pain and observing another experience pain.
Anterior Cingulate Cortex(ACC)
