Our senses give us a perfectly accurate snapshot of everything occurring in the external world, with no distortions or omissions. - ANSWERSFalse Humans can see all possible light wavelengths. - ANSWERSFalse The retina is located at which part of the eye? - ANSWERSThe very back (closest to your thalamus) Transduction means: - ANSWERSconverting energy out in the world to a language that neurons speak Which of these properties are true of cones? - ANSWERSThey are primarily located in th...

Gil talking to Mary - ANSWER******(example situation) Gil was talking to Mary in the park and a few days later he passes the park and remembered what she was wearing and what they talked about***** Physiological level- Gil perceives Mary as he is talking with her - chemical processes occur in Gils eyes and ears which -> electrical signals in neurons - individual brain structures are activated -> all leading to his perception of Mary and what is happening as they are talking both du...

A elaborate document (ca. 120 pages) with notes on all the lectures for behavioural neuroscience. It includes the text from the slides with the comments/explanation from the lecturer for each point. For some lectures (like lateralization or emotion) a lot of what the lecturer said was literally in the slides. For those lectures only the things that were said that are not written on the slides are added. But for others like brain damage, ALS and anorexia the majority of the notes are explanations...

This document contains all the information from the lectures of Neurodevelopment. It is complete with pictures and notes from the lecturers. The human brain developement discussed in the course can be found in the summary: "Translational Neuroscience Second Exam" in my Stuvia account - the first chapter of that summary contains extra information about Neurodevelopment.
