• Thin
• Layered
• Interconnected• Plastic ( consider vs brainstem)

Many ways to organize the cortex
We will adopt the most traditional and simplest:

T-scope approach
A setup sometimes used in split-brain studies The participant fixates a center dot and then sees a picture or a word on the right or left side of the dot. He may be asked to respond verbally, by reading the word or naming the picture. He may also be asked to respond without words, for example, by picking out a named object from among a group spread out on a table and hidden from view, so that it can only be identified by touch. (After Gazzaniga, 1967) Bottom of Form

Temporal lobe and speech-Werniche’s area
Interesting video links one two
Werniche’s area appears to mediate the logical requirement for the brain to bring meaning and speech together…damage to this area produces
Werniche’s Aphasia
Speech sounds fluent, but is largely devoid of meaning

The Phantom limb Phenomenon
- awareness arises from cortex independently of reality.
Loss of limb, but not loss of the perception that the limb is there

Damage to the Primary Somatosensory Cortex?
-perception of reality depends on CTX
Asomatognosias- a loss of Knowledge about part of body represented by area of cortex that was damaged..pg 176
Anosagnosias- failure to recognize the deficit
AGNOSIA- A loss of knowledge

Brain-Based Theory of Emotions• Frontal lobes
– influence people’s conscious emotional feelings and ability to act in planned ways based on feelings (e.g., effects of prefrontal lobotomy)
– Some scientists contend that the prefrontal cortex normally acts as a brake that can suppress urges or impulses by communicating with other brain areas that mediate fear and aggression, such as the amygdala.
left frontal lobe may be most involved in processing positive emotionsright frontal lobe involved with negative emotions
