Neuro: Brain And Behavior

Front 1

What are the causes of abnormal behavior?

Back 1

1. deviant structure and function
2. learning of deviant ideas
3. brain pathology

Front 2

What are the 3 different "brain functional organizations"?

Back 2

1. left and right hemisphere "traditional" organization
2. bottom-up, phylogenetic organization
3. anterior brain - posterior brain organization

Front 3

Dominant Hemisphere (4 styles?)

Back 3

(direct opposite of non-dom hemi)...detailed-oriented, processes information in a stepwise fashion, logical, subserves social emotions (pride, gratitude)

Front 4

Non-Dominant Hemisphere (4 styles?)

Back 4

(direct opposite of dom hemi)...gestalt oriented, processes information in multiple channels, creative, subserves primary emotion (anger, anxiety)

Front 5

Dominant hemisphere handles...? (4)

Back 5

-language
-verbal learning and memory
-verbal reasoning and planning
-complex learned fine hand movements

Front 6

Non-Dominant hemisphere handles...? (3)

Back 6

-prosody (emotional and gesturing components of language)
-visual learning and memory
-spatial information

Front 7

Disconnection Syndrome (4 tasks?)

Back 7

-ask the patient to close eyes and tie shoes
-ask the patient to close eyes, examiner positions one of patients hands and asks the person to do the same thing with the other hand
- by tachistoscope, a funny picture is presented to the right hemisphere of a patient with a callosal section. he laughs, but cannot explain why
- patient cannot copy a figure with his right hand, but can do so with the left.

Front 8

Left Hemisphere Dysfunction (3 symptoms?)

Back 8

-auditory hallucinations
-catatonia
-catastrophic reactions
-common emotions: sadness, suspiciousness, euphoria, anxiety

Front 9
