1. Summary of Part 1: Basic Mechanisms

2. Micro vs Macro scales Micro = basic mechanisms common across brain areas Macro = differentiation, organization, and interaction of areas Overview of macro scale before discussing cognitive abilities

4. General Functions of Cortical Lobes (how is this determined?)‏

5. Other (subcortical) Areas Hippocampus: rapid learning Thalamus:sensory input, attention Amygdala:emotion, fear/desire Basal Ganglia:motor control, gating of PFC Cerebellum: Coordinating movements Reward prediction system: dopamine release

7. Physical Details Amount of processing Input More processing for motor output Meaning Cortical Hierarchy

8. Multiple Interacting Pathways Early Vision Visual Object Recognition Audition Abstract Semantics Maintaining Abstract Information (plans, sensory info, etc) Movement Spatial Processing Touch
