Question

18.a. How would you apply this quote, from Sherrington, to contemporary cognitive/behavioral neuroscience and, in particular, to understanding the neurobiological bases of learning and memory: Facts rebut the over-simplified conceptions such as ascribe to separate small pieces of the roof-brain, wedged together like a jig-saw puzzle, separate items of highly integrated behaviour.... Such savor of old 'phrenology. To suppose the roof-brain consists of point to point 'centres identified each with a particular item of intelligent concrete behaviour is a scheme 'over-simplified, and to be abandoned'. Rather, the contributions which the roof-brain [and the rest of the nervous system] makes toward integrated behaviour wil;.. . resolve into components for which at present we have no names. 18.b. What would Sherrington think of this current approach to finding the locus of learning and memory for classical conditioning (tone, airpuff> eyeblink)

Explanation / Answer

18.a. According neurobiological bases of learning and memory, it is a behavioral neuroscience due to its oversimplified conceptions.The intelligence is based on point to point centres. Complicated solutions can be resolved into easy one based on the components used.

b.To find the locus of learning and memory for classic condition tone is the primest one where the confidence there by improves. Airpuff and eye blink are also considered as behavioural aspects .
