BIO-Learning&modifying reflexes

reflex respone can be modified by the brain.

1)Reflex responses can be modified and can be overidden by a neuron between the brain &the motor neuron of reflex arc.

2)stimulus causes a particular reflex respone. it can also produce the same respone to a new reflex=a conditional reflex.-the can increases survival

Brain-neurons all intereconnected.

Modify behaviour as result of 'experience'.

co-ordinate compliacted behaviour..

When experiences are repeated-pathways that impulse travel along become stronger-means likely to transmit more impulses. Impulses that aren't used-die off
