I can understand a split brain person (Joe) by Gazzaniga

The corpus callosum is severed, and its function is to carry signals from the right side of the brain to the left side of the brain

The left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain. The sensory and motor cortex are affected by this as well.

I'd rather live without my right hemisphere because I need my logical thinking and speaking skills in order to survive in this world. The right hemisphere only controls some recognition and functions, but my left controls much more important things for me. I love my art and music, but I need logic.

Humanity: Humans are all acknowledges as the same species either way, who are naturally bipedal and have a similar brain structure. However, personality plays a great role in humanity as well as status, wealth, gender, ethnicity, etc. I personally do not believe that class or other factors make one more or less human, but it is the way that they treat others that will add or subtract from my personal "level of humanity" assigned to them. For example, I'd consider a poor, uneducated man who tries his best to help others in troublesome situations and puts his own needs aside for those he cares about to be more 'human' than a rich, educated and wealthy man who cares nothing for others who walk the same world he does.

I can identify the different parts of the brain

==========================

Hindbrain: Earliest to evolve
*Medulla
*Pons
*Cerebellum

Midbrain: Sensory Information
*Emotion and Pain

Forebrain: Thinking, reasoning, what makes us human
*collection of upper-level brain structures including the hypothalamus, thalamus, and limbic system

==========================

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

==========================
Forebrain

Cerebrum/Cerebral Cortex: 2 hemispheres, highly developed in humans, convolutions, sensations, motor control, and higher mental processes

Thalamus: Directs sensory messages (except for smell)

Hypothalamus: Life functions - Breathing, sleeping, hunger, thirst, sex

Corpus Callosum: Threadlike connections between hemispheres

Amygdala: Fear and aggression
'
Hippocampus: New memories
==========================

Lobes

Frontal Lobe: Personality, logic, problem solving

Parietal Lobe: Sensory information

Occipital Lobe: Visual Processing

Temporal Lobe: Auditory processing

Sensory cortex: Deals with sensation, in front of parietal lobe. More sensitive = Greater area in that part of the brain

Motor cortex: In back of frontal love. Movement, more agile = More area

I can understand the different types of neurotransmitters and be ready for my neuron quiz tomorrow

Types of neurotransmitters:

Acetylcholine (Ach)
*Excitatory
*Movement, arousal, attention, memory
*Too much: Spasms
*Too Little: Paralysis

Dopamine
*Inhibitory or Excitatory
*Emotions and pleasure, involuntary movements
*Too much: Schizophrenia
*Too little: Parkinson's

Serotinin
*Inhibitory
*Activity Levels, Sleep, Mood, Eating
*Too much: Euphora, muscle twitching
*Too Little: Sleeplessness, Depression

Norepinephrine
*Excitatory
*Arousal, wakefulness, learning, memory
*Too much: Arousal, 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

When a neurotransmitters fires, it is polarizing the cell. When it is done firing, it is depolarized.

Neurotransmitters
============================

*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 is BLOCKS or inhibits the function  of that neurotransmitter receptor.( Botulin, a poison that paralyzes you by ACH receptors involved muscle movement)

I can understand the process of neurotransmission and parts of a neuron

"the process involves the neurotransmissions on the cell going through the action potential and becoming the receiving neuron"
