Dendrites = bushy branches that receive messages 
Axon = neuron extension that passes messages through it branches to other neurons
Sending Neuron = a neuron that sends the action impulse down the nueron to the receiving neuron
Synaptic Gap = the junction between the axon tip and the receiving neruon
Nucleus = central part of celll and is where activity and growth develops
Terminal Branches = areas that form junctions with other cells
Vessicle = a sac full of neurotransmitters
Cell Body = the nucleus containing central part of a neuron exclusive of its axon and dendrites
Myelin Sheath = helps increase speed of neural impulses 
Action potential = a neural impulse 
Neurotransmitters = chemical messenges that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons
Receptor sites = a molecular site or the docking port on the surface of a neuron]]> 2016-09-19 12:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/124700115 sanampreetbhullar https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/125051788
ACh = helps w/t muscle action, learning and memory
Dopamine - influences movement, learning, attention and emotions
Serotonin = affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal
Norepinephrine = helps control alertness and arousal
GABA = a major inhibritory neurtransmitter
Glutamate = a major excitatory neurotransmitter; involved in memory]]> 2016-09-20 13:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/125051788 sanampreetbhullar https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/125370052 CT Scan = series of x-rays from different angles
PET Scan = a visual display of brain activity when radioactive strands of glucose are injected 
EEG = graphical infomation that demonstrates brain activity
MRI = computer generated images of the soft brain tissue]]> 2016-09-21 12:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/125370052 sanampreetbhullar https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/125677358
3 major divisions:
Forebrain = thinking, reasoning, what makes us human
Midbrain = sensory info (emotion and pain)
Hindbrain = earliest to evolve (medulla, pons, cerebellum)

Jim's scan allows us to analyze the brain from all different angles. This analysis helps us determine if an individual has the mind of a psychopath (gene wise) and helps us determine what behavioral aspects we should be looking out for. Pre-existing measures consist of looking at behavior but not looking at scans which show evidence. Technology has greatly improved thus allowing psychologist and doctors to understand the psyche of an individuals brain.

The frontal lobe makes people individualistic because each personality is different from one another. This uniqueness makes a person think and act differently than the person right next to you. To understand and respect a human you need to be understanding of all personalities. ]]> 2016-09-27 12:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/126637150 sanampreetbhullar https://padlet.com/sanampreetbhullar/pizmka8elncg/wish/127220882
Question answers:

1. Corpus callosum - allows for the two hemispheres to communicate via neuro-transmission 
2. Some oppositions in the body and the brain are the following:
-Sensory and Motor Cortex
3. I would choose to not to have my right hemisphere because I am more of a logical person and those are traits found in the left hemisphere.

Words flashed to the right side allow  for Joe to say the word, while words flashed to the left side are hard for Joe to describe instead he draws them.

Joe draws with the corresponding hand because only that side of the brain understood the word.

We actually don't have a set reason but biologically we sleep to recharge our brain and to allow for people to be healthy. 

How long is the sleep cycle? About 8 hours.

Can you name the correct order of the sleep cycle? 1-2-3-4-3-2-1-REM

What happens between 3 and 4? You are in deep sleep, and your heart rate and breathing slow down, and your body is still. 

When is it best to wake up? Preferably during a stage when you are most relaxed and not in deep sleep. 

What stage do we dream in?
REM

What is difference between latent content of dreams and manifest content of dreams?
Latent content of dreams: underlying meaning of the dream
Manifest content of dreams: the stuff you remember in the morning
