Functional Neuroanatomy and Brain Organization
Introduction
Recall: the brain is the most complex organ in the human body
Studying the brain helps us understand the most fundamental aspects of human experience, including perception, emotion, thought and behaviour
Help us to understand who we are and why we do what we do
Through studying the brain we can also better understand and treat neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders
We can gain insights into the mysteries of the human experience
So far we have learned that the brain is an incredibly complex and fascinating organ that controls every aspect of our lives
Recall: in this course, we will explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie brain function
Understanding the cellular and molecular basis of brain function is essential for understanding the brain at a fundamental level
Can help us understand how the brain processes information, controls behaviour, and responds to environmental stimuli
Will also set you up for future courses
Functional neuroanatomy
Functional neuroanatomy: study of brain structure and function
Involves understanding brain regions and their functions
Understanding communication between brain regions to help explain complex behaviours
Essential for
Understanding behaviour
Diagnosing and treating neurological disorders
Understanding functional neuroanatomy is crucial for advancing our understanding and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders
Cerebral cortext divided into lobes which each have their own regions and functions themselves
Localization of brain function
Functional neuroanatomy provides insights into the localization of different brain functions
