Physiology and behavior
| Path: |
Description
- Explain one study related to localization of function in the brain (for example, Wernicke, Broca Gazzaniga and Sperry).
- Using one or more examples, explain effects of neurotransmission on human behaviour (for example,the effect of noradrenaline on depression).
- Using one or more examples, explain functions of two hormones in human behaviour
- Discuss two effects of the environment on physiological processes (for example, effects of jet lag on bodily rhythms, effects of deprivation on neuroplasticity, effects of environmental stressors on reproductive mechanisms).
- Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behaviour (for example,agnosia, anosognosia, prosapagnosia, amnesia). Evaluate two relevant studies.
- Discuss the use of brain imaging technologies (for example, CAT, PET, fMRI) in investigating the relationship between biological factors and behaviour.
