1 History and Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience In the Beginning Evolution of the human brain Human brain surfaced ~100,000 years ago Areas of modern human (H. Sapiens) brain shared with many other species In the Beginning Rapid encephalization WWHGD? Why might behavior-x have evolved? How could behavior-x promote survival and reproduction? 1

2 Thomas Willis (17 th century) Dissections of human brains Linked brain regions to behaviors Highly detailed anatomical drawings (Circle of Willis) Franz Joseph Gall Phrenology Localization of brain function? Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens Ablation studies Aggregate field theory John Hughlings Jackson Localizationist view Proposed topographical layout of brain Homunculus Paul Broca Tan Broca s aphasia Broca s area Carl Wernicke Wernicke s aphasia Wernicke s area 2
