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

Seratonin
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.
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

Excitatory: revs up neurons
Inhibitory: chill out neurons

Polarization: Sodium is on the outside, and potassium is on the inside. Cell membranes surround neurons just as any other cell in the body has a membrane. When a neuron is not stimulated — it's just sitting with no impulse to carry or transmit — its membrane is polarized.
Depolarization is the opposite]]> 2016-09-20 15:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/125116380 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/125757943 9-22-16
How does the findings of Jim's scan and mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?

Jim's scan showed how his brain's functions differed from others.]]> 2016-09-22 15:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/125757943 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126408392 2016-09-26 15:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126408392 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126705961 2016-09-27 15:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126705961 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126714466 In my opinion i believe that a person is human if someone has the ability to communicate to another human or have a personality technically and function within their environment. However people with special needs or a handicap are human too. Human is really just a species and if you pass similar physical attributes and are able to have feelings and emotions then you are human.]]> 2016-09-27 15:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/126714466 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/127287422 Q 1: The corpus callosum, it helps connect the two hemispheres for the brain and send messages from one side to the other.
Q 2: The left side of the brain controls the functions of the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left. If you see something to your right, then since your left brain allows you to process and speak what you see, you'd be able to describe what you see to the right.
Q 3: I would rather live without my left because my right allows me to recognize faces and i feel like without the right my life would be boring.

Left is more explanitory and right does more facial recognition.]]> 2016-09-29 15:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/127287422 caitlynvan5152 https://padlet.com/caitlynvan5152/unit2learningobjectives/wish/127558433 Q 1: Because it helps with growth, it recharges your brain, and its similar to clearing the cache out of a computer.
Q 2: The sleep cycle is around 90 minutes. 1234321REM. Stage 3 and 4 go away and the best stage to wake up in is stage 1
Q 3: REM stands for rapid eye movement and is also called paradoxical sleep.
Q 4: Manifest content is what happens, and latent is the supposed meaning of the dream
