-NO NOTES]]> 2016-09-16 12:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/124310781 9/19- I can understand the process of neurotransmission and pats of a neuron katherineand6870 https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/124316354
  • 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

  • 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)

    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]]>     2016-09-16 12:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/124316597     9/22- I can identify the different parts of the brain katherineand6870 https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/124316630
  • 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?

    -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.]]>     2016-09-20 12:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/125036859     katherineand6870 https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/126633622 2016-09-27 12:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/126633622 9/28- I can understand the endocrine system and influence of drugs on the body katherineand6870 https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/126636335 2016-09-27 12:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/126636335 9/29- I can understand a splitbrain person katherineand6870 https://padlet.com/katherineand6870/h47l00xi1ivv/wish/127219534 -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.

  • 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
