Q

becuse the amydla and the FFA work together for facial recognition, people with capgras syndrome have damamges in the

why also the prefrontal cortex?

A

connections between the FFA and amygdala and also the prefrontal cortex

because damage= illogical thoughts running without check system

25
ct scans
3d imaging slices of the brain that tells us size shape
26
fmri
measures the blood oxygen of the brain
27
eeg what is pros and cons
measures firing and action potentials pros: hightempral con: low spatial resolution, only measure surface
28
petscan fmri pros and con
can detect brain structure cons: can detect brain activity
