2. Neural basis of cognition

• mind=brain
• serial vs. parallel processing
• speed of processing
• central nervous system
• cerebral cortex
• localization of function
• frontal lobes
• temporal lobes
• parietal lobes
• occipital lobes
• Broca's area/Wernicke's area
• topographical organization
• neuron
• soma
• dendrites
• axon
• terminal buttons
• myelin sheath
• action potential
• synapse
• presynaptic neuron
• postsynaptic neuron
• neurotransmitter
• excitatory synapse
• inhibitory synapse
• neural redundancy
• retina
• receptors
• bipolar/ganglion cells
• receptive field
• feature detectors (bars, edges, etc.)
• Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) models
