Summary Introduction
To identify: The problems in defining intelligence in birds.
Introduction: The size of the brain varies with the species to species, and it reflects their functions. This is helpful for species survival and reproduction. The size and function correlation can be observed from the cerebellum.

I need help finding a research paper and a news article that evaluates how brain and mind are presented outside the scientific literature. Specifically, you’ll choose an empirical study (2020 or earlier) that was featured in news reports and critically evaluate its presentation there in light of the original research paper. The topic is about visual perception in animals or humans . We already spoke about mantis shrimp so that example is not available however it can be any other animal.

- A researcher wishes to determine if vitamin E supplements could increase cognitive ability among elderly women. In 1999 the researcher recruits a sample of elderly women age 75-80. At the time of the enrollment into the study, the women were randomized to either take Vitamin E, or a placebo for six months. At the end of the six month period, the women were given a cognition test. Higher scores on this test indicate better cognition. The mean and standard deviation of the test scores of 81 women who took vitamin E supplements was 27 and 6.9 respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the test scores of the 90 women who took placebo supplements was 24 and 6.2, respectively.C Computea 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in cognition test scores between Vitamin E and placebo group.arrow_forwardLimbic System, Emotion, Reward, and Addiction Describe how stimuli gain emotional significance using fear conditioning as an example at the introduction level (Introduction to Neuroscience College Level).

Although both genders are equally capable with expressing emotion, research suggests that males are better at expressing anger and females are better at expressing sadness and fear. In general, females are better decoders than males, even though no gender differences exist for encoding. Why do you think females learn to decode facial displays of emotion better than males?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity? A) Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation B) The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain. C) Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life. D) All of the abovearrow_forwardWhat is the oblique effect?

- STAC: The Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition proposed in 2009 is a conceptual model of neuroimaging to explain how the combined effects of adverse and compensatory neutral processe produce varying levels of cognitive function. [ P QUESTION 22 Which one is not the best way to describe necessary "threshold" as "sensitivity" declines with age? Individuals with lower sensitivity also have a lower threshold or tolerance for stimulation. O As sensitivity goes down, the threshold must be higher to compensate. Individuals with a low-sensitivity, need more stimulation than people with high-sensitivity. none of the above QUESTION 23arrow_forwardApply the subtypes of memory and brain regions involved in each to rodent experiments in learning and memory.arrow_forwardhow do you explain behavior using brain dynamics?arrow_forward
- The prefrontal cortex receives extensive input from the amygdala, and it uses information about emotion to make the final determination about whether to engage in a specific behavior. Bechara and his colleagues conducted a study on decision-making that compared healthy individuals to patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex. Which of the following statements about this research is FALSE? A) Over time, patients with prefrontal injuries did not produce anticipatory reactions (sweating) before making a "risky" decision. B) At first, both groups of individuals chose the "risky" option more often. C) Both the healthy individuals and the patients eventually switched to the "safer" option once they figured out how the game worked. D) Over time, healthy individuals began to produce a strong anticipatory reaction (sweating) before making a "risky" decision.arrow_forwardHow can one experimentally differentiate the function of different frontal areas (M1, FEFs, premotor, SMA, PFC) in action control? Answers: a. Examine neural activity using a task design that separates external cue, internal goals, and movement b.
