Do you believe it is possible for us to predict the actions and behaviors of another person based on their brain's structure and function?

Each person will elaborate on this differently. For example, you might choose to answer this question in regards to someone who has Parkinson's Disease, a brain tumor growing in the amygdala, retrograde amnesia, schizophrenia or has the brain of an 8 year old. Be creative! Try to use as much neuroanatomy and physiology as you can. Response must be a minimum of 150 words.

Describe the structures and their function involved in vision. Be sure to start with the anatomy of the eyeball and retina. Be sure to describe the cell layers present in the retina. Then describe the nervous pathways involved in the sensation and perception of vision. What is the cranial nerve involved in vision? Then be sure to include the location and description of the lateral geniculate nucleus, primary visual cortex, and visual association cortex. Within what structure is the lateral geniculate nucleus located? Where the superior colliculus located and what is is its function in vision? How does visual perception affect visual sensation? That is, do we only see what we want to see? This is referred to as “top-down processing” of visual perception.
