# data[].attributes.body
We sleep to recharge our brain.

The sleep cycle is 1-2-3-4-3- 2-1-REM

We want to wake up in stage 1, after 8 hours of sleep (in the stage that is most relaxed but not groggy)

We dream in REM

Latent Content of Dreams: underlying meaning of the dream

Manifest Content of Dreams: the stuff you remember in the morning, what happened in the dream

-the corpus callosum is severed to help prevent seizures
-this structure of the brain connects the left and right hemispheres and allow for communcation between the two sides
-Gazzanaga is the researcher responsible for the split brain study
-The left hemisphere controls the right side of your body while the right controls the left-motor cortex
-The Broca's area is located in the left hemisphere-the left side controls speaking
-Words or pictures flashed in the left visual field to the right hemisphere are only able to be drawn
-The right side of the brain controls creativity and the ability to recognize faces
-The left hemisphere controls logic and causes us to want to explain or know the reasoning behind things
-I would rather go without the right hemisphere so I could still communicate and think logically.

Using evidence for the function of the frontal lobe, explain in 3 sentences or more what it means to be human?

-Your frontal lobe holds your personality, which makes you human. Without your own individual personality you wouldn't be who you are. The frontal lobe also decides how you make your decisions and this may be based on your personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Forebrain- thinking, reasoning, what makes us human

Midbrain- controls sensory information

Hindbrain- earliest to evolve

Pons: sleep/wake cycle, facial recognition

Medulla: breathing, heart rate

Cerebellum: balance, coordination

Reticular Formation: bundle of neurons in hind, mid, and part of forebrain(middle of brainstem)

Sends alert signals

Permanent damage=coma

Filters incoming stimuli

Helps control arousal

How does the findings of Jim's scan and the mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?

CT Scan: Uses X-rays to see structures at different angles

X-ray: a single image taken, shows the structure of the brain in a shadow form

EEG: measures brain waves

MRI: uses magnetic field to measure structure

fMRI: MRI that shows activity as well as functions of the brain

PET scan: uses radioactive glucose to highlight part of the brain that is damaged

Acetylcholine(Ach)

excitatory

movement, arousal, attention, memory

too much: spasms

too little: paralysis

Dopamine

inhibitory

emotions and pleasure, involuntary movements

too much: schizophrenia

too little: Parkinson's

Serotonin

inhibitory

activity levels, sleep mood, eating

too much: euphoria, muscle twitching

too little: sleeplessness, depression

Norepinephrine

excitatory

Arousal, wakefulness, learning, memory

too much: arousal and anxiety

too little: memory impairment, depression

Endorphins

inhibitory

inhibits pain message

too much: no pain

too little: increase in pain

GABA(Gamma Amino-butyric Acid)

inhibits neurons from firing

increases sleep and relaxation

too much: shortness of breath

too little: anxiety, seizures

Agonist Molecule: mimics a neurotransmitter, fitting into the receptor site and exciting the site. (morphine mimics endorphins, stimulating mood and pain sensation)

Antagonist Molecule: fits into the receptor site but is not similar enough to stimulate it. Instead it blocks or inhibits the function of that neurotransmitter receptor. (Botulin, a poison that paralyzes you by blocking ACH receptors involved in muscle movement)

Neurotransmitters: chemical messengers that allow for signals to be transmitted

Cell body: the main structure of the neuron and contains life supports for the entire cell

Axon: sends messages to other neurons

Dendrite: receives information and conducts it to the cell body

Synaptic Gap: space between the terminal button and the receiving neuron

Terminal Branches: end of the axon, conducts signals to the synapse

Myelin Sheath: fatty tissure that insulates axons and increases transmission speed

Receptor sites: little proteins on the outside of the cell that receives the message
