TODAY’S BIOPSYCHOLOGY OBJECTIVE
We will explore the
effects of seizures
and brain surgery
on human behavior
by taking notes
while watching two
informative video
clips.
CONTRALATERAL
PERCEPTION
•
Contra- switched
•
Lateral- from the side
The left visual field is
perceived by the right
brain hemisphere
and vice versa.
Corpus
Callosum

hemisphere
controls the right

and vice versa
TERMS TO CONSIDER
• Cognitive Deficits
• mental activities and abilities (such as thinking,
understanding, learning, and remembering) are decreased
• Sever
• To separate something by cutting it
• Epilepsy
• a disorder of the nervous system that can cause people to
suddenly become unconscious and to have violent,
uncontrolled movements of the body
EPILEPSY & SEIZURES
A malfunctioned firing
of neurons leads to
too much electric
energy at once.
