But only recently have they been able to demonstrate it directly. To prove the point, researcher Jose Delgado once entered a bullring with a cape and a radio transmitter. The bull charged. At the last possible instant the speeding bull stopped short. Because Delgado's radio activated electrodes implanted deep within the bull's brain.
Physiological psychology is the study of how the brain and nervous system relate to behavior.
Let us enter this fascinating realm for a closer look at our biological heritage and human potential. The Brain is an impressive assembly of billions of sensitive cells and nerve fibers. Gathering sensory information and issuing motor commands takes place at all three levels of the brain. Response selection, learning, memory, and higher thought processes are controlled by the forebrain, particularly the cortex and association areas. Incoming information scatters to structures all over the brain and converges again as it goes out to muscles and glands.
