-Depolarizing a cell- when the neuron fires it depolarized the cell.

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
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
GABA (Gamma Amino-butyric Acid)- Inhibits neurons from firing, increases sleep and relaxation.
-too much: Shortness of breath
-too little: Anxiety, seizures
Endorphins- Inhibitory, Inhibits pain message.
-too much: no pain
-too little: Increase in Pain
Agonist Molecule- mimics a neurotransmitter, fitting into the receptor site and exciting the site.
Antagonist molecule- fits into the receptor site but is not similar enough to stimulate it. Instead it BLOCKS or inhibits a function.

-In terms of the frontal lobe, I believe that to truly be human you must have the capability of utilizing at least some part of your frontal lobe. The frontal lobe controls speaking, movements, judgments, and many other human-like activities so it makes sense to define someone as human who utilizes that. People with disabilities may only somewhat utilize this lobe but they still do nonetheless. So basically if you use at least a partial portion of your frontal lobe, you can be defined as human.]]> 2016-09-27 15:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanmor5999/o51ct9dq3ls3/wish/126705127 ethanmor5999 https://padlet.com/ethanmor5999/o51ct9dq3ls3/wish/127287340 What part of the brain is severed?
The Corpus Collosum which allows each side of the brain to communicate.
Opposition that occurs between the brain and your body?
Each hemisphere of the brain controls a different side of the body which includes the motor and sensory cortex.
-Left needs reason, Right needs creativity and can recognize facial recognition
Which would you live without, your left or right hemisphere?
I would much rather live without my right brain because I wouldn't be able to make sense of anything in the world and I am not creative.
