• Penjelasan biologis perilaku• Filosof dan neuroscientist yakin bahwa mind-
brain adalah satu. Mengapa dan bagaimana otak berhubungan dengan kesadaran masih tanda tanya
• Ekspresi gen tergantung pada lingkungan dan interaksi antar gen

Mind-brain relationship
• Psikoneuroimunologi• Efek do’a• Membunuh dengan pujian

Mengapa mempelajari otak?
• Otak adalah ‘tempat’ perilaku• Banyak masalah psikologis berasal dari
masalah biologis dan kadang-kadang) membutuhkan intervensi biologis mis• mis. Alzheimers, Parkinsons, epilepsi,
schizophrenia, depresi, ketergantungan obat• Pemahaman tentang biologi membantu untuk
menjelaskan fenomena psikologis (mis. persepsi)
Bagaimana mempelajarinya?
• perilaku• luka• anatomi• Elektrofisiologi• Imaging• multidisiplin
Some questions
• How does anatomy help us understand brain function?• What can studies of patients with brain damage tell us about
normal brain function?• What can studies of animals with brain damage tell us about brain
function?• Can we learn about brain function by non-invasive study of
normal humans?• What can we learn from micro-electrode recording?• How do chemistry and physics of nerve cells influence
psychological processes?• Will fMRI and PET scanners make other techniques for the study
of brain function obsolete?
perilaku
• We can often deduce a lot about brain function simply from behaviour
• It’s cheap and non-invasive and should be the starting point for most studies
Perilaku (mis. Visual psikofisik)
perilaku (mis. after-effects)
Behaviour (e.g. Interferensi ingatan)
• Could measure the independence of different memory systems• e.g. measure recalled words from a memory
test after reading a passage versus recalled words after doing maths
• Then measure recalled numbers after reading a passage versus doing maths
• 415• 692• 793• 318• 562
Luka di otak
• Mengukur pengaruh kerusakan otak (luka, lesions)
• Disebabkan oleh• Disease, trauma, stroke• Surgery (frontal lobotomies,
commisurotomies…)• misalnya
• Paul Broca• Phineas Gage (pasien frontal lobe)• Patient ‘HM’ (anterograde amnesia)
Masalah dan luka -
• We can only study what we get!• Lesions terjadi biasanya pada daerah tertentu (mis. dimana
saluran aliran darah tertentu berjalan)• Biasanya daerah luas dan multiple rusak• Kadang-kadang neuron rusak• Jarang terjadi (small n)
• Recovery• Otak dapat menyambung kembali (apalagi ketika masih muda)• Individu belajar strategi kognitif baru• Hard to know what the original function was
Lesions – pada binatang
• Secara sengaja membuat lesion• Secara kimiawi, electrikal atau dengan didinginkan
• Memilih daerah yang ingin dipelajari• Secara selektif
• Regional• Chemical
• Repeatability• Lesi yang sulit terjadi pada manusia
• Kelemahan• Perbedaan antar spesies• Invasive
Lesions - TMS
• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) involves creating a strong focal magnetic field over the scalp of a (healthy) subject
• Creates a disturbance of activity near the probe, which goes away when the probe is turned off!
• Pros:• Reversible, repeatable and (relatively) non-invasive
• Cons:• Not clear what its doing or exactly where the ‘disruption’ is
Anatomi
• Mempelajari lapisan otak dari post-mortem• Menggunakan pelacak untuk mengetahui
daerah mana yang saling berhubungan• Anterograde: travels forward showing which area this
cell projects to• Retrograde: travels back showing where inputs are
coming from• Both help us know about the function of an area
• Dengan ‘electron microscopes’ yang sangat kuat, dapat dipelajari anatomi sel saraf secara individual
Electrophysiology (neurophysiology)
• With electrophysiology we can insert microelectrodes into the brain and record form individual neurons, or clusters of them
• By measuring the rate at which it releases action potentials we can determine what the cell is used for• e.g. a motor neuron might fire during a hand-
movement, a visual neuron during the presentation of a particular stimulus…
Electrophys – pros and cons
• Pros• The firing of neurons, ultimately is often what
we want to know about• Can be used to study almost any area of the
brain• Cons
• Invasive• Animal work• If a cell responds to a stimulus is it
necessarily needed for that stimulus? (interpretation is harder than it sounds sometimes)
22
Electrophys and microstimulation
• Microelectrodes can also be used for stimulation• Can simulate the response of a neuron• e.g. in a motion detection task (below) we can
bias which direction the dots appear to move by microstimulation (of neurons that prefer that motion)!!

Imaging
• Computerised Axial Tomography (CAT/CT)
• Basically just X-ray, rarely used now
• Positron Emission Topography (PET)
• Inject with radioactive isotope (!) and measure where it goes
• Electro-encephalography (EEG)
• Measure the local electrical activity with scalp electrodes
• Magneto-encephalography (MEG)
• Measure magnetic field and infer where electrical activity occurs
• (Functional) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
• Measure the amount of oxygenated blood in an area
Imaging – EEG
25
Imaging – EEG
• Pros:• Very good temporal resolution (no delay at all)• Non-invasive (but a bit uncomfortable)• Useful for measuring patterns in activity (e.g.
sleep research)• Also for measuring ‘Event-Related Potentials’
(ERPs)• Cons:
• Poor spatial resolution (a few cm around the electrode)
26
Imaging - fMRI
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (anatomical scans)• fMRI – same basic technique to measure Blood
Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) signal• BOLD signal is related to activity in the brain
(presumably increased metabolism in active areas?)• E.g.:
27
Subject making finger movement
Subject imagining finger movement
JWP’s brain!
Using anatomical MRI
fMRI – pros and cons
• Non-invasive and can repeat measures for a subject
• Good spatial resolution (measure activity in voxels of ~1mm3)
• Not great temporal resolution (BOLD signal lags around 6secs behind activity)
• We aren’t really sure what the BOLD signal represents
Other methods
• Genetics• Family studies• Genetic mutation
• Microdialysis• Insert small porous probe into the brain and
measure local fluid concentrations
Multidisiplin
• Idealnya menggunakan beragam metode• Measure the behavioural characteristics of a
phenomenon• Use fMRI (or patients) to see which brain
structures are involved• Use electrophysiology to see what the
responses of the cells are like• Then use anatomy to see how they are
interconnected
