What Are the Basic Brain Structures and Their Functions?
The Spinal Cord Is Capable of Autonomous Function.
The Brainstem Houses the Basic
Programs of Survival. The Cerebellum Is Essential for Movement. Subcortical Structures Control Basic
Drives and Emotions. The Cerebral Cortex Underlies Complex
Mental Activity.

The Spinal Cord Is Capable of Autonomous Function
Grey Matter
White Matter
Spinal Reflexes
Example: The Stretch Reflex

The Brainstem Houses the Basic Programs of Survival
A complement of survival reflexes:
Gagging, breathing, swallowing, etc.
Brainstem uses spinal reflexes to produce useful behavior:
The reticular formation and sleep

The Cerebellum Is Essential for Movement
Cerebellum = “little brain”
Role in motor learning
Beyond motoric training: Multiple cognitive processes Empathy

How Does the Brain Change?
The Interplay of Genes and the Environment Wires the Brain.
The Brain Rewires Itself throughout Life.
The Brain Can Recover from Injury.
![Page 16: Psychological Science Michael Gazzaniga and Todd Heatherton Chapter Four: The Brain and Consciousness.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e4e5503460f94b444dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Interplay of Genes and the Environment Wires the Brain
The Importance of plasticity
Chemical signals guide growing connections.
Experience fine-tunes neural connections.
Plasticity has “critical periods.”
![Page 17: Psychological Science Michael Gazzaniga and Todd Heatherton Chapter Four: The Brain and Consciousness.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e4e5503460f94b444dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Brain Rewires Itself throughout Life
Change in the strength of connections underlies learning
Hebbian learning: “fire together, wire together”
Changes in use distort cortical maps
![Page 18: Psychological Science Michael Gazzaniga and Todd Heatherton Chapter Four: The Brain and Consciousness.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e4e5503460f94b444dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Brain Can Recover from Injury
Remapping after injury reflects plasticity
The promise of transplanting stem cells
![Page 19: Psychological Science Michael Gazzaniga and Todd Heatherton Chapter Four: The Brain and Consciousness.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e4e5503460f94b444dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How Is the Brain Divided?
The Hemispheres Can Be Separated.
The Separate Hemispheres Can Be Tested.
The Hemispheres Are Specialized.
The Mind Is a Subjective Interpreter.

Definitions of Consciousness Allow Its Empirical Study
Subjectivity and “qualia”
Access to Information
