Rene Descartes - Answer Believed that the body (including the brain) had material
properties and worked like a machine, whereas the mind was non-material and thus did not
follow the laws of nature
Dualism - Answer seeing mind and body as two different things that interact
Thomas Willis - Answer founder of clinical neuroscience; isolated brain damage (biology)
could affect behaviour (psychology)
Joseph Gall - Answer Bumps on the skull determine personality (phrenology)
Marie Jean Pierre Flourens - Answer aggregate field theory: notion that the whole brain
participated in behaviour
John Hughlings Jackson - Answer many regions of the brain contribute to a given behaviour
Paul Broca - Answer discovered area in the brain (named for him) in the left frontal lobe
responsible for language production; patient named Tan
Carl Wernicke - Answer discovered a brain area responsible for interpreting meaning of
language; patient could speak freely but made little sense when he spoke
Broca and Wernicke - Answer focal brain damage causes specific behavioural deficits
Cytoarchitectonics - Answer how cells differ between brain regions
Camillo Golgi - Answer golgi stain; stain permits visualizaion of individual neurons in their
entirety
Cajal - Answer founded the neuron doctrine: concept that the neurons system is made up of
individual cells
Synapse - Answer junction between two neurons
Rationalism - Answer belief in reason and logic as the primary source of knowledge
Empiricism - Answer the view that knowledge originates in experience and that science
should, therefore, rely on observation and experimentation; brain begins as a blank slate
, Associationism - Answer the aggregate of a person's experience determined the course of
mental development
Edward Thorndike - Answer behaviorism; Law of Effect-relationship between behavior and
consequence
John B. Watson - Answer behaviorism; emphasis on external behaviors of people and their
reactions on a given situation; famous for Little Albert study in which baby was taught to fear a
white rat
Wilder Penfield - Answer brain mapping using electrical stimulation and recording
Montreal Procedure - Answer Created by Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper, a procedure to
treat epilepsy in which the neurons that produced seizures were surgically destroyed
Donald Hebb - Answer workings of the brain explained behaviour, and the psychology of an
organism could not be separated
Neurons - Answer basic signalling units that transmit information through the nervous
system
Glial Cells - Answer serve various f'ns in the NS; providing structural support and electrical
insulation to neurons and modulating neuronal activity
Glial Cells - Answer form the fatty substance called myelin the NS
Oligodendrocytes - Answer form myelin in CNS
Schwann Cells - Answer form myelin in PNS
Myelin - Answer a fatty substance that helps insulate neurons and speeds the transmission
of nerve impulses
3 main types of glial cells - Answer 1. astrocytes
2. oligodendrocytes
3. microglial cells
