It is a topic of philosophy and science . One question is whether, and in what sense, rational agent s exercise control over their actions or decisions. As it has become possible to study the living brain , researchers have begun to watch decision making processes at work. Findings could carry implications for moral responsibility in general.

refimprove date May 2008 Sensory neuroscience is a subfield of neuroscience which explores the anatomy and physiology of neuron s that are part of sensory system s such as vision, hearing, and olfaction. Neurons in sensory regions of the brain respond to stimuli by firing one or more nerve impulses action potential s following stimulus presentation. How is information about the outside world encoded by the rate, timing, and pattern of action potentials? This so called neural code is currently poorly understood and sensory neuroscience plays an important role in the attempt to decipher it. Looking at early sensory processing is advantageous since brain regions that are higher up e.g. those involved in memory or emotion contain neurons which encode more abstract representations. However, the hope is that there are unifying principles which govern how the brain encodes and processes information. Studying sensory systems is an important stepping stone in our understanding of brain function in general. Typical experiments A typical experiment in sensory neuroscience involves the presentation of a series of relevant stimuli to an experimental subject while the subject s brain is being monitored. This monitoring can be accomplished by noninvasive means such as functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI or electroencephalography EEG , or by more invasive means such as electrophysiology ... neuroscience is to try to estimate the neuron s receptive field that is, to try to determine ... used to describe these receptive fields.

evolutionary biology Evolutionary neuroscience is an interdisciplinary Scientific method scientific research field that studies the evolution of nervous systems . Evolutionary neuroscientists attempt to understand the evolution and natural history of nervous system structure and function. The field draws on concepts and findings from both neuroscience and evolutionary biology . Historically, most empirical work has been in the area of Comparative biology comparative neuroanatomy , and modern studies often make use of phylogenetic comparative methods . Selection experiments and experimental evolution approaches are also being used more frequently. Conceptually and theoretically, the field is related to fields as diverse as comparative psychology , neuroethology , developmental neurobiology , evo devo , behavioral ecology , anthropology and evolutionary psychology . History The field began after the publication of Darwin s On the Origin of Species , but brain evolution was largely viewed at the time in relation to the incorrect scala naturae . The 1936 book The Comparative Anatomy of the Nervous System of Vertebrates was a landmark publication in the field. Following the Evolutionary Synthesis , the study of comparative neuroanatomy was conducted with an evolutionary view, and modern studies incorporate developmental genetics. ref cite journal last Northcutt first R.

Definition & Goals Visual Neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that focuses on the visual system of the human body, mainly located in the brain s visual cortex . The main goal of visual neuroscience is to understand how neural activity results in visual perception , as well as behaviors dependent on vison. In the past visual neuroscience has focused primarily on how the brain and in particular the Visual Cortex responds to light rays projected from static images and onto the retina . ref name refname4 While this provides a reasonable explanation for the visual perception of a static image, it does not provide a accurate explanation for how we perceive the world as it really is, an every changing, and ever moving 3 D environment. Face processing A recent study ref name refname5 using Event Related Potentials Event related potential ERP s linked a increased neural activity in the occipito temporal region of the brain to the visual categorization of facial expressions. ref name refname5 Results focus on a negative peak in the Event related potential ERP that occurs 170 milliseconds after the stimulus onset. ref name refname2 ref name refname8 This action potential , called the N170 was measured using electrodes in the occipito temporal region, an area already known to be changed by face stimuli.

About salience in cognitive neuroscience Salience disambiguation Salience No footnotes date May 2010 The salience also called saliency of an item be it an object, a person, a pixel, etc is the state or quality by which it stands out relative to its neighbours. Saliency detection is considered to be a key attention al mechanism that facilitates learning and survival by enabling organisms to focus their limited perception perceptual and cognitive resources on the most pertinent subset of the available wikt sensation sensory data . Saliency typically arises from contrasts between items and their neighborhood, such as a red dot surrounded by white dots, a flickering message indicator of an answering machine, or a loud noise in an otherwise quiet environment. Saliency detection is often studied in the context of the visual perception visual system, but similar mechanisms operate in other sensory systems. When attention deployment is driven by salient stimuli, it is considered to be bottom up, memory free, and reactive. Attention can also be guided by top down, memory dependent, or anticipatory mechanisms, such as when looking ahead of moving objects or sideways before crossing streets. Humans and other animals have difficulty paying attention to more than one item simultaneously, so they are faced with the challenge of continuously integrating and prioritizing different Top down and bottom up design Neuroscience and psychology bottom up and Top down and bottom up design Neuroscience and psychology top down influences. Neuroanatomy of salience The hippocampus participates in the assessment of salience and context using past memories to filter new incoming stimulus placing those that are most important into the long term memory.

multiple issues cleanup April 2012 lead missing April 2012 sections April 2012 unreferenced April 2012 On January 1, 2006 the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, PDN , headed by W.A. Harris , was formed within the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge from the merger of the Departments of Anatomy and Physiology. Anatomy was taught within the University since its foundation in about 1231. Initially, the teaching was of a theoretical nature based on readings of the classical texts of Galen , but the subject became established as an academic discipline in the early 16th century. In 1707 the first Professor of Anatomy , George Rolfe, was appointed. The tenth Professor of Anatomy, George Humphry , appointed in 1866, was a founder of the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology , and during the early tenure of his office, anatomy and physiology were taught together. In 1870 Michael Foster was appointed as Praelector in Physiology. In 1878, the University supplied Foster with a purpose built laboratory on the east side of Downing Street. Though Foster s contributions to research were not enduring, he was an inspirational teacher and is the academic great grandfather to a large fraction of the world s current physiologists. In 1883 Foster became the first Professor of Physiology, Cambridge University . The Departments of Anatomy and Physiology now fused to make PDN and have been the home of many exceptional contributors to medical and physiological sciences and Nobel Prizes including Edgar Adrian 1932 , Henry Dale 1936 , Alan Hodgkin 1963 , Andrew Huxley 1963 , Roger Tsien 2008 , and most recently Robert G.
