Lecture

Brain Function Mechanisms

Description

This lecture discusses the active processes involved in sensory perception, the mapping of presynaptic neurons using various techniques, the role of primary somatosensory cortex in sensory stimulus conversion, dopamine neuron firing, reward-based learning, and important brain disorders like Parkinson's disease. It also covers the causes, treatments, and symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including the use of L-DOPA and deep brain stimulation.
