Behavioral: negative and positive reinforcement

Environmental: triggers that stem from the environment and what you are surrounded by create disorders]]> 2016-09-16 12:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/124311593 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/124699627 message - dendrite-cell body - axon (myelin sheath protects) - terminal branch (axon terminal) - terminal button (synaptic knob) -synaptic gap (synapse) -receptor site

neurotransmitter: chemical messengers that allow for signals to be transmitted

cell body: the center of the neuron; life support of the entire cell

axon: sends messages to other neurons

dendrite: receives those messages ^^^

synaptic gap: junction between axon and dendrite

terminal branches: conducts signals to the synapse

myelin tissue: fatty tissue that speeds up the electrical impulse in the axon]]> 2016-09-19 12:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/124699627 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/125036353 Acetylcholine (ACh): 
-excitatory
-movement, arousal, attention, memory
-too much: spasms
-too little: paralysis

Dopamine:
-inhibitory
-emotions and pleasure
-too much: skitz
-too little: parkinsons disease

Serotonin:
-inhibitory
-activity levels, sleep, mood, eating
-too much: euphoria, muscle twitching
-too little: sleeplessness, depression

Norepinenephrine
-excitatory
-arousal, wakefullness, learning, memory
-too much: anxiety
-too little: depression

Endorphins:
-inhibitory
-inhibits pain message
-too much: no pain
-too little: increase in pain

GABA: 
-inhibits neurons from firing
-increases sleep and relaxation
-too much: shortness of breath
-too little: anxiety, seizures

Agonist Molecule: mimics a neurotransmitter 
ex: endorphins- morphine

Antagonist Molecule: blocks/inhibit a neurotransmitter
ex: botulin, antipsychotic]]> 2016-09-20 12:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/125036353 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/125371137 CT: uses x-rays to see structures at different angles 

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

EEG: measures brain waves

MRI: uses magnetic field to only measure structure in a video

fMRI: MRI that shows activity and functions of the brain

PET: uses radioactive glucose to highlight the part of the brain that is damaged]]> 2016-09-21 12:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/125371137 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/125679742 FOREBRAIN: thinking, reasoning, and what makes us human

MIDBRAIN: sensory info, emotion, and pain

HINDBRAIN: earliest to evolve  

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

Pons: sleep/wake cycle and facial recognition

Cerebellum: balance and coordination

Reticular Formation: arousal]]> 2016-09-26 12:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/126338902 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/126626887 Using evidence for the function of the frontal lobe, explain what it means to be human? 

To be human means to feel complex feelings and act upon them in a certain way, to be able to communicate those feelings with others, and create different judgments with that. 

Frontal lobe: personality, judgement, problem solving

Parietal lobe: sensory info

Temporal lobe: auditory processing

Occipital lobe: visual processing

Sensory cortex: controls senses

Motor cortex: controls movement

Broca's area: responsible for speech

Wernicke's area: responsible for language comprehension]]> 2016-09-27 12:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/126626887 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/126928610 Hypothalamus: produces chemicals that either stimulate or suppress hormone secretion

Pituitary: master gland that makes hormones 

Thyroid: produces hormones that influence mental and physical growth

Parathyroid: produces hormones that increase calcium levels

Pancreas: produces insulin which lowers glucose

Adrenal: produces adrenaline

Reproductive: creates testosterone and estrogen]]> 2016-09-28 12:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/126928610 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/127220848 1. Corpus Callosum - sends messages to both hemispheres of the brain to communicate
2. the left brain hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right brain hemisphere controls the left side of the body; words flashed on the left visual side can only be drawn because the right brain controls creativity (left side is the logical side)
3. I'd wanna go without my left hemisphere. ]]> 2016-09-29 12:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/127220848 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/127505736 1. It's essential for our survival. Our brain gets recharged when we sleep
2. sleep cycle: 90 min.
stage 1-2-3-4-3-2-1-REM
REM: brain recharges
3. Dreaming occurs during REM.
4. Latent: supposed meaning of dream
Manifest: the stuff that happens in the dream

Stage 2: heart rate and temp. lower, spindle waves form
Stage 3: muscles relax and body rejuvenates, sleep walking and talking occurs here, slow delta waves
Stage 4: muscles relax even more, heart rate and temp. drops lower, longer delta waves
REM: breathing and heart rate increase, begin to dream]]> 2016-10-03 12:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/127847074 dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/128137328 2016-10-04 12:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/fl45k2570rx0/wish/128137328
