Lecture Notes For Biopsychology, 9th Edition - Page 10 preview imageChapter 1: Biopsychology as a Neuroscience8Neuroscienceis the scientific study of the nervous system; neuroscience includes manydifferentapproaches,includingneuroanatomy,neurophysiology,neurochemistry,neuroendocrinology,neuropharmacology, andneuropathology.b.Biopsychology as a Part of NeuroscienceBiopsychologyis a discipline of neuroscience that integrates these various approaches.Biopsychologists try to discover how the various phenomena studied by neurophysiologists,neuropharmacologists, neuroanatomists, and other neuroscientists relate to one another toproduce psychological phenomena such as learning, memory, motivation, and perception.Thus, biopsychology can be viewed asbridgebetween psychology and neuroscience.Thefirstpartofthecoursewillexaminethefundamentalsofneuroanatomy,neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, genetics, and evolution; the rest of the course willfocus on how these biological fundamentals are applied to the study of biopsychologicalphenomena.6.What Types of Research Characterize the Biopsychological Approach?Biopsychologists use a variety of research approaches in their studies; to understand whatbiopsychology is, you must understand what biopsychologists do.This diversity can be illustrated by discussing three dimensions along which biopsychologicalresearch varies:human vs. nonhuman subjectsexperimental vs. nonexperimental studiesapplied vs. pure researcha.Human and Nonhuman SubjectsAdvantages of human subjects:They can follow directions.They can report subjective experiences.They are often less expensive.They have a human brain.Advantages of nonhuman subjects:They have simpler nervous systems.Studying various species makes it possible to use thecomparative approach.There are fewer ethical constraints (although the ethics of both human and animal research iscarefully scrutinized by independent committees).b.Experiments and NonexperimentsBiopsychology research can involve experimental and nonexperimental studies.ExperimentsUsed by scientists to determinecause-and-effect relationships.Usually adifferent groupof subjects is tested under eachtreatment conditionof anexperiment; this is abetween-subjects design.Sometimes thesame groupof subjects can be tested undermultiple treatment conditions;this is awithin-subjects design.Independent variablesare set or manipulated by the experimenter; these manipulationsproduce the different treatment conditions in an experiment.Dependent variablesreflect the subject’s behavior; this is what the experimenter measures.
Page 11 of 16
Lecture Notes For Biopsychology, 9th Edition - Page 11 preview imageBiopsychology, Ninth Edition9The experimenter tries to conduct the experiment so that the independent variable is the onlything that varies between each treatment condition; the experimenter measures the effect ofthe independent variable on the dependent variable.In a well-designed experiment, the experimenter can conclude that any differences in thedependent variable between the various treatment conditions werecausedby the independentvariable (it’s the only possibility).Although the principle of good experimentation is conceptually simple, it is often difficult inpractice to make sure that there is only one difference among conditions; unintendeddifferencesbetweenconditionsthatcaninfluencethedependentvariablearecalledconfounded variables.The presence of confounded variables makes experiments difficult to interpret because it isimpossible to tell how much of the effect on the dependent variable was caused by theindependent variable and how much was caused by the confounded variable.An example of a well-designed experiment is the experiment of Lester and Gorzalka (1988)on theCoolidge effectin female hamsters (refer to Figure 1.3 fromBiopsychology).Nonexperimental StudiesSometimes it is impossible to conduct controlled experiments (e.g., if human subjects areinvolved, it may be impossible for ethical or technical reasons to assign them to particularconditions and to administer the conditions).In aquasiexperimental design,researchers examine subjects in real-world situations whohave self-selected into specific conditions (e.g., excessive alcohol intake); in a sense, thesesubjects have assigned themselves to treatment conditions.The major shortcoming of a quasiexperimental study is that although researchers can examinerelations between the variables of interest (e.g.,alcohol consumption’s relation to braindamage), a quasiexperimental study cannot control for potential confounding variables.Therefore, it does not allow a researcher to establish direct cause-and-effect relationships.Example:Researchers cannot randomly assign humans to control and alcohol groups,and then expose one group to 10 years of chronic alcohol exposure to see ifalcohol causes brain damage. Instead, they must compare the brains ofalcoholics and non-alcoholics found in the real world.Key Problem:Because subjects in the real world do not assign themselves to groupsrandomly, there are many other differences between the groups that couldcontribute todifferencesinthedependentmeasures.For example, theobservation that alcoholics have far more brain damage than non-alcoholicsdoesnotmean that alcohol directly causes this difference, because alcoholicsdifferfromnon-alcoholicsinmanywaysunrelatedtotheiralcoholconsumption (e.g., education, accidental head injury, diet, other drug use).Another type of nonexperimental design is called acase study.Case studies are scientific studies that focus on asingle subject; for example, you will learnlater in the course about how the in-depth study of one amnesic subject (H. M.) hascontributed much to our understanding of the neural basis of memory.The main problem with case studies is theirgeneralizability, or the extent to which theirresults tell us something about the general population.c.Pure and Applied ResearchPure and applied research are defined by the motivation of the researcher.
Page 12 of 16
Lecture Notes For Biopsychology, 9th Edition - Page 12 preview imageChapter 1: Biopsychology as a Neuroscience10Pure researchis motivated primarily by the curiosity of the researcher to find out how thingswork; pure research focuses on establishing building blocks or basic concepts that mayprovide information salient to many problems.Applied researchis motivated by an attempt to directly use the building blocks of basicresearch to answer specific questions; human and animal problems are directly addressed.7.What Are the Divisions of Biopsychology?a.Physiological PsychologyIt focuses ondirect manipulationof the nervous system in controlled lab settings (e.g.,lesions, invasive recording).The subjects are usually laboratory animals.There is a strong focus onpure research.b.PsychopharmacologySimilartophysiologicalpsychology,exceptthatthenervoussystemismanipulatedpharmacologicallyFocuses on drug effects on behavior and how these changes are mediated by changes inneural activityMany psychopharmacologists favorpure researchand use drugs to reveal the nature ofbrain-behavior interactions, while others concentrate onapplied questions(e.g., drug abuse,therapeutic drugs)c.NeuropsychologyFocuses on the behavioral effects of brain damage inhumans, typicallycortical damageCannot be studied in humans by experimentation; research focuses oncase studiesandquasiexperimental studiesMost applied of the six divisions of biopsychology; neuropsychological tests of brain-damaged patients facilitate diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle counseling (e.g., the case of Mr.R. described in the text)d.PsychophysiologyIt focuses on the relationship between physiological and psychological processes in humansubjects.Because human subjects are used, all brain recordings arenoninvasive(i.e., from the surfaceof the head).The usual measure of brain activity is thescalp electroencephalogram(EEG).Muscle tension, eye movement, heart rate, pupil dilation, and electrical conductance of theskin are other common psychophysiological measures.Example:Eyetrackingdeficitsinschizophrenics;referstudentstoFigure1.4fromBiopsychologye.Cognitive NeuroscienceNewest division of biopsychologyFocuses on theneural bases of cognitive processeslike learning/memory, attention, andperceptual processesOften employs human subjectskey methods arenoninvasive,functional brain imagingtechniques(refer students to Figure 1.5 fromBiopsychology)

This is done for two reasons:because disciplines learn from their mistakes; understanding biopsychology’s previous errorshelp biopsychologists to avoid these mistakes in their own work; andbecause it will make you a better consumer of scientific researchit will help you developcritical thinking about biopsychological research.a.Taming a Charging Bull with Caudate StimulationThe biopsychologist Jose Delgado implanted anelectrodeinto thecaudate nucleusof a bull.Each time the bull charged, Delgado used his hand-held transmitter to deliver an electricalstimulation to the caudate nucleus of the bull via the implanted electrode.This stopped the charge and after a few attempts, the bull stood tamely as Delgado strodeabout the ring.

Lecture Notes For Biopsychology, 9th Edition - Page 14 preview imageChapter 1: Biopsychology as a Neuroscience12Delgado and the popular press declared this a major discovery, the discovery of the caudatetamingcenter.Itwasevensuggestedthatcaudatestimulationmightcurehumanpsychopaths.b.Prefrontal Lobotomy(use Figures 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10 fromBiopsychology)In 1949, Dr. Egas Moniz received a Nobel Prize for developing a novel treatment for mentalillness:prefrontal lobotomy, a procedure that separates the prefrontal lobes from the rest ofthe brain.Moniz based his technique on a report that achimpanzee(Becky) was easier to handle afterpart of her prefrontal lobes had been destroyed as part of an experiment.Various forms of the operation were devised, such as thetransorbital lobotomyprocedure,which was performed by inserting an ice pick-like device through the eye sockets, often in adoctor’s office.Following the initial reports by Moniz of the operation’s benefits, it was performed onmentally-ill patients all over the world (over 40,000 in the United States alone).Note the case of Howard Dully, the boy who was lobotomized at the insistence of hisstepmother.11.End-of-Chapter DiscussionGuide the discussion to the following points and issues:a.What Was Wrong with Delgado’sClaims?There are many ways that stimulation might stop a charging bull other than by taming it (e.g.,the stimulation might have been painful, blinded the bull, made it sick, or made movementdifficult).When there is more than one reasonable interpretation of a behavior, the general rule is tofavor the simplest one; this rule is calledMorgan’s Canon.Infact,analysesof the filmedrecordofthiseventstrongly supporta moresimpleinterpretation: The left and right caudate are motor structures, and stimulating one side oftencauses an animal to walk in circles.This appears to be what happened in Delgado’s case; the bull was confused and incapable ofcharging, but not tamed.b.What Was Wrong with Moniz’sClaims?The surgery was based on the study of only one subject (Becky), and a nonhuman subject atthat!It is difficult to see how one could conclude that an operation that would eliminate theadaptive defensive reactions of a chimpanzee to an experimenter would help the mentally ill.Moniz and others who prescribed prefrontal lobotomy were not in a position to be objectivein its evaluation, nor were they trained to perform such evaluations. Early reports of thebenefitsofprefrontallobotomywerebasedonpoorlycontrolledstudiesfocusedonmanageabilityand published by Moniz himself.After many thousands of people had been lobotomized, controlled studies by objectiveresearchersrevealedterriblesideeffects(e.g.,“vegetable-likebehavior,”urinaryincontinence, epilepsy).< Return to Table of Contents

For background material to help you with this discussion, see the WebsitefortheInternationalSocietyfortheHistoryoftheNeurosciencesathttp://www.bri.ucla.edu/nha/ishn/.Lecture Launcher 1.2:Biopsychology ResearchMore Than White Rats and Lab CoatsBased upon lectures to this point, talk about another area of biopsychological inquiry in whichexperiments, quasiexperimental studies, and case studies complement one another to make valuablecontributions to our understanding of brain/behavior relations (e.g., ask students to split into groups ofthree to five students to discuss how these three methods for studying brain/behavior relations could beused to study theneural bases of the behavioral changes that emerged following Phineas Gage’saccident).Lecture Launcher 1.3: Ethical Issues in Animal and Human ResearchBiopsychology uses both human and nonhuman subjects, and there are different sorts of ethical issuesassociated with the use of each. Discuss the procedure of applying for ethics approval in your universityor college. What are the factors that the ethics committees consider when determining whether or not toapprove a particular experiment? Also talk about what checks are in place in your country, state, orprovince to protect human and animal subjects.Web sites for responsible use of nonhuman animal research:www.understandinganimalresearch.org.ukwww.apa.org/science/leadership/care/guidelines.aspxwww.animalresearchforlife.euwww.the-aps.org/pa/policy/animals/intro.htmWeb sites against the use of nonhuman animal research:www.uncaged.co.ukwww.navs.orgwww.stopanimaltests.comLecture Launcher1.4: Neuropsychology’s Case Studies versus PhysiologicalPsychology’s ExperimentsNeuropsychologists and physiological psychologists both study the effects of brain damage on theirsubjects. However, they use dramatically different methodologies: Neuropsychologists typically use casestudies of human subjects, whereas physiological psychologists use experimental studies of nonhumansubjects. Given that neuropsychology can collect data directly from human subjects, why is it necessaryto perform experiments on nonhuman subjects?

Lecture Notes For Biopsychology, 9th Edition - Page 16 preview imageChapter 1: Biopsychology as a Neuroscience14Lecture Launcher 1.5: Studying the Brain and Behavior from All SidesConsider the relative strengths and weakness ofphysiological psychologyandneuropsychology.Neuropsychology’s strength is that it deals with humans, but this is also its weakness because it precludesexperimentation. In contrast, physiological psychology can bring the power of the experimental methodand invasive neuroscientific techniques to bear on the question, but it is limited to the study of laboratoryanimals.Because the two approaches complement one another, together they can provide evidence for points ofview that neither can defend individually. Read about the case of Jimmie G. in Section 1.5 to see thepower of this approach in action.Lecture Launcher 1.6: Chimpanzees and Mental IllnessIn the analysis of Case 2 (Beck, Moniz, and Prefrontal Lobotomy), it was pointed out that a treatment formental illness was developed from the results of a single case study in a nonhuman animal. Moniz basinghis conclusions on a single case study was problematic in itself, but what about the fact that the removalof an adaptive behavior in a nonhuman animal was taken as evidence for the viability of a treatment for aform of mental illness? To what degree are studies of nonhuman animals currently used as part of theprocess for developing treatments for mental illness? If they are similar, then how are the interpretationsof the data obtained from these nonhuman animals different from that of Moniz?Lecture Launcher 1.7: The History of the BrainUse the PBS Web site on the History of Research on the Brain to find events and illustrations for use in aclassroom presentation. Images can often be copied from a Web site and inserted into a PowerPointPresentation for in class use. (Make sure you keep a record of where the image came from.) This is notonly good for legal defense of fair use, but it may allow you to find something again when you need it.Web LinkWeb Link 1.1 History of the BrainLecture Launcher 1.8: Research with Animals in Psychology“Psychologists undertake research with animals ‘...with a clear scientific purpose.’...There should be areasonable expectation that the research will a) increase knowledge of the processes underlying theevolution, development, maintenance, alteration, control, or biological significance of behavior, b)increase understanding of the species under study, or c) provide results that benefit the health or welfareof humans or other animals.” (APA Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in the Care and Use of Animals,Section VI.A.)Web LinksWeb Link 1.4 Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of ConductWeb Link 1.5 Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in the Care and Use of AnimalsWeb Link 1.6 Research with Animals in PsychologyWeb Link 1.7 PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
