Biological Bases of Behavior: Unit 2

State of the Field Biological creatures – underlies all of psychology New findings at an exploding rate Focus on the basics

Two Communication Systems of the Body What are they? * Endocrine system (hormones) * Nervous system

Historical View: Franz Gall & Phrenology

Historical View: Phineas Gage

Yikes!

Yikes, Continued …

What Did We Learn? Connection between brain and emotions/personality Localization of functions (although … note some limits to that idea) Another Story

The Brain: Cellular Level Basic unit of nervous system: the neuron Types of neurons: sensory (afferent) & motor (efferent); interneurons (go- betweens)

Structure & Function of the Neuron

What Happens at the Synapse

From Neurons to Brain Structures
