Biological and environmental both cause drug abuse and addiction ]]> 2016-09-16 15:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/124378478 amylen5140 https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/124779667 Dendrites: Receive messages from other cells
Terminal branches of axon: form junctions with other cells
Vessicle:
axon: passes messages away from cell body to other neurons muscles, or glands
Cell body: the cell's life- support center
Neural impulse: action potential electrical signal traveling down the axon
myelin shreath: covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neural impulses
Sending Neuron: The neuron which transmits a message to another neuron
Synaptic Gap: space between the axon terminal of one neuron and the receptors of the next neuron
Nucleus: A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction
Action Potential:A neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon.
Neurotransmitters:Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse
Receptor sites: The areas at the end of dendrites on postsynaptic neurons that receive neurotransmitters to initiate cell firing.
Receiving Neuron: Postsynaptic neuron. The neuron which obtains an electrochemical stimulation from another neuron.
Terminal Button: The branched end of the axon that contains neurotransmitters.

Depolarized- fires
polarized- before it fires
Acetylcholine (Ach)
-Excitatory
-movement, arousal, attention, memory,
Too much: spasms
Too little: paralysis
Dopamine
-inhibitory or excitatory
-emotions and pleasure, involuntart movemetns
too much: Schizophrenia
too little: Parkinson's
Serotonin
-inhibitory
-Activity levels, sleep, mood, eating
too much: euphoria, muscle twitching
too little: sleeplessness, depression
SSRI's: Rehibits Reuptake
Prozac- happiness
zolof- happiness
Norepinephrine
-Excitatory
-arousal, wakefulness, learning, memory
too much: arousal and anxiety
too little: memory impairment, depression
Endorphions
-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 the neurotransmitter receptor.
The Chemical Mind
-Everything psychological is biological
-Neuron: building blocks that transport messages (think or dream)
-Cell body, Dendrites, Axon, 
myelin sheath: increase speed of message
-neurotransmitters: messages sent across the synapse  
inhibitory: chill neurons 
Hormones: affect mood attraction, affection , appetite

CT: shows all angles of brain
EEG (electroencephalogram): measures activity
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): Uses a magnetic field to measure structures
F-MRI (functional MRI): Combines structures and activity
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) : shows varies levels of damage, Uses Radioactive Glucose to measure Activity ]]> 2016-09-21 15:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/125443023 amylen5140 https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/125757546 Exploring the mind
QOD: How does the findings of Jim's scan and the mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?
-percise timing
-high risk gene (only from mother) 
-too much serotonin (this gene makes brain becomes insensitive)
-Stress in youth, sees too much real world violence

-being human means to be original but alike. everyone is different but many of us have similar characteristics. Being human means to listen and conquer problems together we are passionate about our species we face problems head on. being human means to feel, to think, to experience and to create. ]]> 2016-09-27 15:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/126706034 amylen5140 https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/126995073 Mouse Party

-Severed Corpus Callosum 
Explain the opposition that occurs between the brain and your body? 
-motor cortex, visual
- left hemisphere controls speech -when severed the left cannot transfer to right 
-when asked to point he picked 
what he saw in his right side but picked the left word
-the left needs reason (pointing and speech) the right is creativity (Joe drew pictures)
-right hemisphere is focusing on elements of picture  that make up the picture
-brains do not communicate when split
Which brain hemisphere would I rather live without?
right because all though that is the more creative side i would want to be able to speak and i want to be logical more than creative

why we sleep? 
-recharge brain, recuperation, growth, and mental function 
How long is sleep cycle 
-90 minutes 
1234321 REM sleep cycle 
best stage to wake up in is stage 1 
During what stage do we dream?
stage REM (rapid eye movement)
-paradoxical sleep 
the manifest is content of dream
the laytent is the supposive meaning of dream
What question do I have about sleep?
_Why do we have nightmares and good dreams  ]]> 2016-09-30 15:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/127554857 amylen5140 https://padlet.com/amylen5140/zmc74nlkwwr4/wish/127907614 Brain diagrams
