- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei2) to learn about the basal nuclei (also known as the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. As shown in this video, the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through the system that results in decreased activity in the cerebral cortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirect pathway has an extra couple of connections in it, including disinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus. What is the end result on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiated by the cerebral cortex?arrow_forwardIn the past, aspiring London taxicab drivers underwent a rigorous education that required them to learn the location of about 25,000 streets in the city. The average posterior hippocampus of London cabbies, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging, was larger than that in a comparable group of London bus operators, who follow a fixed route and so do not have to learn a detailed map of the city (Maguire et al. 2000). In addition, the more years of taxi driving, the larger the posterior hippocampus (Maguire et al. 2006). What does this research tell us about the interplay of the environment and genetics in the development of adaptive navigational skills in human beings?

The hippocampus is important for the consolidation of memories. В. C. O C. The hippocampus mediates all declarative memory. O D. The hippocampus is important for semantic memory E. O E. The hippocampus can mediate relationships between temporal cues. OF. O F. The hippocampus can mediate relationships between spatial cues.arrow_forward

One way to classify brain regions is based on their function. Consequently, brain regions can be classified as Primary Sensory Areas, Unimodal Association Areas, or Multimodal Association Areas. a) What do Primary Sensory Areas and Unimodal Association Areas have in common? b) What do Multimodal Association Areas do, in general? And what is 1 example of a cognitive function that would require the involvement of Multimodal Association Areas?arrow_forward
- Assume we can record spatially related neural activity from the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of human. You are on vacation in London and have a map to find the Tower of London (you also do not have a smartphone). What spatially related activity would you see in the entorhinal cortex as you are walking around London with your map with Cartesian coordinates? What activity pattern would you see in the hippocampus as you were moving toward your destination?arrow_forwardWhat is true of prenatal effects on brain plasticity? Parents' experiences before conception can influence their children's later brain development. Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not. Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not.
