Behavioral: how someone is influenced and taught something, such as positive and negative rewards plays pivotal role

environmental: disorders are caused by different types of surroundings]]> 2016-09-16 12:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/124315719 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/124699242 2016-09-19 12:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/124699242 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/125035904 Acetylcholine: Excitatory, movement, arousal, attention, memory. Having too much gives you spasms, too little gives you paralysis

Dopamine: inhibitory, emotions and pleasure, involuntary movement. Too much gives schizophrenia, too little gives parkinson's

Seratonin: inhibitory, deals with activity levels, sleep, mood, eating. Too much gives Euphoria, too little gives depression. Overall, makes people happy

Norepinephrine: excitatory, arousal, wakefulness, learning, memory. Too much gives anxiety, too little gives memory impariment

Endorphins: inhibitory, inhibits pain message. Too much gives no pain, too little gives increase in pain

GABA: inhibits neurons from firing, increases sleep and relaxation. Too much gives shortness of breath, not enough gives anxiety and seizures

Agonist molecules: mimics a neurotransmitter, fitting into the receptor site and fill the void (morphine mimics endorphins, stimulating mood and pain sensation)

Antagonist molecules: fit into receptor sites, but is not similar enough to stimulate it. Instead it blocks or inhibits the function of that neurotransmitter receptor. (Botulin, poison that paralzes you by blocking ACH receptors involved in muscle movement, thus giving paralysis.)A]]> 2016-09-20 12:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/125035904 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/125679631 How do the findings of Jim's scan and the mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?

Midbrain: sensory info, emotion and pain

hindbrain: earliest to develop

forebrain: thinking and reasoning]]> 2016-09-22 12:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/125679631 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/126632782 What does it mean to be human?

To be human means to have emotions and feelings. We should all be unique in our own regards and have different sets of personality traits. This is what can set us apart from each other 

Frontal lobe- logic, personality

Parietal lobe- sensory info

temporal lobe- auditory processing

occiptal lobe- visual procesing

motor cortex controls movement, sensory cortex controls sense, wernicke's area controls language comprehension, and broca's area controls speech]]> 2016-09-27 12:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/126632782 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/126928725 Pituitary gland- master gland that makes growth hormones and controls all other glands

Thyroid gland- produces hormones that influence mental and physical growth

Hypothalmus gland- main link between endocrine and nervous system

Reproductive glands- creates testosterone and estrogen

Adrenal glands- produces adrenaline for readiness for activity

Answer to question 2: The right side of the motor cortex controls movement in the left side of the body, and vice versa. Broca's area is located in the left hemisphere in frontal lobe, and it controls speaking. What someone sees to the left is being registered to the right side of the brain, and vice versa.

words or pics flashed to the left visual field or the right hemisphere can't be described, but he can draw it. right side controls creativity. left side controls logic 

Answer to question 3: I would rather not have right hemisphere, because then I would still be able to speak. ]]> 2016-09-29 12:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/127220920 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/127498403 Answer to question 1: To help restore function to the body and to improve memory

Answer to question 2: One sleep cycle is 90 minutes, the correct order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, rem, best time to wake up is at stage 1 after sleeping for 8 hours

Answer to question 3: We dream at stage rem

Answer to question 4: manifest content: stuff you remember in the morning. Latent content is the underlying meaning of the dream, the unconciousness of the dream]]> 2016-09-30 12:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/127498403 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/127846521 midbrain- controls limbic system

thalamus- sensory switchboard

hypothalamus- hunger thirst sex drive

stages of sleep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, rem

stage 1: body temperature and activity slows down

stage 2: heart rate slows down even more (sleep spindles)

stage 3/4: sleep walking, stage 4 is when there are longer delta waves

rem: you begin to dream]]> 2016-10-03 12:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/127846521 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128378714 Pons- controls sleep/wake cycle and facial recognition

medulla- controls heart rate and breathing

cerebellum- controls balance and coordination

Reticular formation: controls arousal and connects brain stem to cerebellum and cerebrum]]> 2016-10-05 04:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128378714 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379256 CT scan- uses x ray to see structures at different angles

EEG- measures brain waves

MRI-uses magnetic field to only measure structure

XRay- single image taken and shows shadow of the brain

fMRI- MRI that shows activity and functions of the brain

PET scan- uses radioactive glucose to highlight part of the brain that are damaged]]> 2016-10-05 04:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379256 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379469 2016-10-05 04:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379469 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379843 in google classroom]]> 2016-10-05 04:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/82pvuopg5sse/wish/128379843
