Cognitive Neuroscience

our ability to take in, to keep and retain, and bring out

storage/ consolidation

inability to learn any new information

inability to remember pre-surgical information dating back to 3 years

as you get farther away from the insident of hippocampal damage more and more info is recalled

• genetric degenerative disease affecting basal ganglia
• -explicit memory is fine but skill learning is impaired
• -movements very smooth and fluid but they cannot control it

skills

primed with some info to do a task so when you have to do a tast it is the first thing that comes to mind

• Alzheimer disease
• - depends on temporal- parietal frontal cortx

• premotor/SMA/ Parietal cortical lessions
• -inability to produce coordinated actions

surgery that lession the glub pallides as it becomes over active thereby causing tremors

inhibit glubus pallidus by electribally stimulating subthalamic nucleus which inhibts globus pallides

• cannot smoothly terminate movements (overshoot)
• in cereballar lessioned patients

• loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra
• -either shake alot (tremor)
• -or too stiff

sounds of language

• everything that goes with how we comprehend a word
• -semantic. syntactic, word form

facillitation of word recognition due to semantic association

visual form of language

inability to produce the label of a word

initially led to one interpreation but by the end of the sentence, you have to change it

positive peak 600 ms after synatic violation

• intonation, rhythm of language
• -represented in right hemisphere
• -emotion detecton is in right hemisphere while verbal detection is in left

deficit in language production

deficit in language comprehension

inability to read

• inability to write
• -angular gyrus damage

band of fibers that connects the 2 hemispheres

same region on one side is conneted to twin on other side

region on one side is connected to a different region on the other side

fibers from one hemisphere go to regions in same hemisphere

split brain

• abstract
• -left hemishsphere

• specific
• -right hemisphere
