Techniques to study, Localization of function (Brain and Behavior), Neuroplasticity
Maguire et al: Taxi drivers, hippocampus. Hippocampi of taxi drivers were larger than control, Volume of right posterior hippocampi correlated with amount of time spent as driver. Hippocampus change in response to environmental demands.
Neuroplasticity (Brain and Behavior)
Draganski: New skill would affect brain. MRI scan as base rate. More gray matter in mid-temporal area in both hemispheres. After no longer preforming skill, grey matter decreased.
Neurotransmitter (Brain and behavior), hormones
Morhenn: Trust game, trust game and massage, massage, massage gave higher oxytocin and gave more money
Pheromones and behavior, genetic similarities
Wedekind: Wear shirt for 3 days then women sniffed. They liked shirts of those with different genes than themselves. Androstadiene.
Genetics and behavior
Heston: Adopted children were likely to have schizophrenia if bio mom had. 10% were diagnosed.
Evolutionary explanations for behaviors
Releigh et al: Relation between social status and serotonin (depression neurotransmitter). Observed monkeys. Loss of dominance cause symptoms.
