Unit 2 by Evan T March https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz Made with big dreams en-us 2016-09-15 15:45:46 UTC 2023-03-19 11:18:56 UTC hello@padlet.com 9/16 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/124378706 I can understand reassessment procedures and addiction perpectives.

Reassessment: 3 days after test show evidence of relearning. 5 days to complete the reassessment.

  • Biological: Disorders stem from a defect in a certain part of the brain.
  • Environmental:  Triggers that stem from the environment and what you are surrounded by create disorders.
  • Behavioral: Negative and Positive reinforcement play a big role in how a disorder develops.

  • Neurotransmitters: Chemical messengers that allow for signals to be transmitted.
  • Cell body: the main structure of the neuron and contains life support for the entire cell.
  • Axon: sends messages to other neurons, muscles or glands.
  • Dendrite: Receives information and conducts it to the cell body.
  • Synaptic Gap: Junction between axon and dendrite.
  • Terminal Branches: End of the axon, conducts signals to the synapse.
  • Myelin Sheath: Fatty tissue that insulates axons and increases transmission speed.
  • Receptor Sites: Little proteins on the outside of each cell that receive messages.

  • Acetylcholine: 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, mode, eating. Too much=Euphoria, muscle twitching, Too little= Sleeplessness, Depression.
  • Norepinephrine: Excitatory. Arousal, wakefullness, 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: Inhibits neurons from firing, Increases sleep and relaxation. Too much= shortness of breath. Too little= anxiety and seizures.
  • Depolarization: when the neuron fires and it depolarizes the cell.
  • SSRI: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Class of drugs used as antidepressants
  • All or none: The neuron fires when it has the required amount of energy, not anything less.
  • Agonist: mimics a neurotransmitter, fitting into the receptor site and exciting the site.
  • Antagonist: fits into the receptor site but is not similar enough to stimulate it. Instead it BLOCKS or inhibits the function of the neurotransmitter receptor.

CT scan: Uses X-rays to see structures at different angles.
X-ray: a single image taken, shows the 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 scan: uses radioactive glucose to highlight part of the brain that are damaged.]]> 2016-09-21 15:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/125443260 9/22 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/125756204 I can identify different parts of the brain.
How does the findings of Jim's scan and the mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in way that existing measures cannot?

  • Forebrain: Thinking, reasoning, and what makes us human.
  • Midbrain: Sensory information, emotion, and pain.
  • Hindbrain: earliest to evolve.

  • Medulla: Controls Breathing and Heart rate, located in brain stem in front of cerebellum.
  • Pons: Controls sleep/wake cycle and facial recognition, located on top of medulla and in front of cerebellum.
  • Cerebellum: Controls balance and recognition, located behind brain stem and below cerebrum.
  • Reticular Formation: Controls arousal, connects brain stem to cerebelllum and cerebrum.

Phineas Gage John Green Video:
What does it mean to be Human?
Humans show compassion and have an innumerable amount of feelings. We can also think using logic, which many other animals cannot do. Lastly, we all have some sort of personality that makes us who we are.
  • Frontal Lobe: Located in the front of brain, responsible for personality and logic.
  • Parietal Lobe: Located above temporal lobe, responsible for sensory information.
  • Temporal Lobe: Located below occipital and parietal lobes, controls auditory processes.
  • Occipital Lobe: located in back of brain, responsible for visual processes.
  • Sensory Cortex: located in parietal lobe, controls senses.
  • Motor Cortex: located in frontal lobe, controls movement.
  • Broca's Area: Located in frontal lobe, responsible for speech.
  • Wernicke's Area: Located where temporal and parietal lobe meet, responsible for language comprehension.

  • Hypothalamus gland: Main link between endocrine and nervous system, produces chemicals that either stimulate or suppress hormone secretions.
  • Pituitary Gland: Master gland that makes growth hormones and controls other glands.
  • Thyroid Gland: Produces hormones that influence mental and physical growth.
  • Parathyroid Gland: Attached to thyroid, produces hormones that raise calcium levels.
  • Pancreas: Produces insulin, which lowers glucose, glucagon which raise level of glucose.
  • Adrenal Glands: produces Adrenaline in readiness for activity.
  • Reproductive Glands: Creates testosterone and Estrogen.

Which part of the brain does the researcher sever? Corpus Callosum.
Explain the opposition that occurs between the brain and the body?
One hemisphere of the brain only communicates to one side of the body, so when one hemisphere is isolated, only that side of the body can.
Left hemisphere uses logic and reasoning.
Right hemisphere uses creativity and has facial recognition.
Which brain hemisphere could you live without?
Right hemisphere, i'm more logical.]]> 2016-09-29 15:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/127286527 9/30 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/127554848 Explain the difference between the two hemispheres and begin sleep.
Why do we sleep?
Helps growth, helps your brain recharge.
How long is the sleep cycle?
90 minutes
Name sleep cycle order?
1,2,3,4,3,2,1, REM.
Best Stage to wake up in?
Stage 1.
Stage 3 and 4 go away in later hours of sleep.
During What Stage Do We Dream?
REM sleep, also known as paradoxical sleep.
What is the difference between Latent and Manifest content of dreams?
Manifest is the content of the dream, Latent is the supposed meaning.
Question about sleep? 
How can sleeping in different phases affect a person?]]> 2016-09-30 15:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/127554848 10/3 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/vpcsszskm0vz/wish/127907013 I can Practice for Diagram Quiz and break down sleep stages.
  • Stage 1: Wakefulness turns into sleep. Brain waves change from Beta to Alpha and then to Theta.
  • Stage 2: Heart rate and temperature lower. Spindle waves are formed.
  • Stage 3: Muscles relax and body rejuvenates. Sleep talking/walking occur. Slow delta waves
  • Stage 4: Muscles relax even more, heart rate and temperature lower more also. Longer delta waves.
  • REM: Breathing and Heart rate increase, you also begin to dream. Rapid eye movement.
