43 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
CNS:
Brain and Spinal Cord
PNS:
Nerves than go from CNS to organs, muscles, glands, etc.
Divided into:
SNS
ANS
SNS
ANS
Parts of PNS
SNS goes to skeletal muscles

ANS: viscera and smooth muscles
(Sympathetic and Parasympathetic)
Sympathetic & Parasympathetic
Parts of ANS:
Sympathetic: Fight or Flight
Parasympathetic: relaxation, digestion,
Neural Development
5 stages
PMDMS

Proliferation 2.5 weeks
Migration 8 weeks
Differentiation: develop axns/ dendrites
Myelination: mostly postnatal
Synaptogensis: postnatal
Ataxia:
Apraxia
Agnosia:
Anosognosia:
Ataxia: Like being drunk- slurred speech, uncoordinated. (cerebellum)
APRAXIA: No skilled motor
ANOSOGNOSIA: Cant recognize own symptoms
AGNOSIA:Cant recognize familiar objects
Cerebellum:
Balance, posture, coordinated motor
RAS
Consciousness, arousal, wakefulness
Thalamus:
Relay station for all SENSES except smell. (also motor, memory, language, Korsakoff)
Hypothalamus:
Hunger & homeostasis (damage = rage)
SCN
Circadian and sleep/wake. SAD.
Basal Gang
BG Big movements, expressive facial movements
(huntingtons, parkinsons, tourettes)
Limbic-
ON the edge!!
Basal Gang
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Hippocampus:
learning, memory
Kluver-Bucy
Psychic blindness- cant recongize meaning, problems in amygdala
Parietal Lobe:
Somatosensor cortex
Parietal Lobe:
Somatosensory cortex

Apraxia & anosognosia
Occipital Lobe:
Sight

Visual agnosia
Prosopagnosia at the corner with temporal and parietal
Left:Dominant
Letters, words, language, verbal memory, speech, reading, writing, positive emotions
Right/Nondominant:
Patterns, faces, music, nonverbal sounds, nonverbal memory, geometry, direction, negative emotions
Theories of color:
Trichromatic
Opponent
Tri: 3 receptors, RGB

Opponent: RG, YB, WB
Gate control theory:
Can only feel a certain amount of sensory info, ie, pain at a time...
Psychophysics
Amount of stimulus threshold stuff... ie, weber's law, fechners law, stevens power law
Weber:

Fechner:

Stephens:
More intense stimulus, need more intesity to perceive. IE: One gram to 10 grams to feel, 10 grams to 100 grams. (a ratio, whisper in library, etc)

FECHNER: increases arithmatically, geometrically/logarithmically

Stephens Law: At extremes, others apply to middle of spectrum: exponential descriptions...
Memory:

Temporal
Temporal: LT declarative

Hipposcampus: consolidates doesnt store, alzheimers,

Amygdala: trauma, ptsd

Prefrontal: STM, episodic, prospective

Thalamus: Processing memories

BG, Cerebellum Motor: procedural and implicit
LTP:

Protein Synthesis

ApoE4
LTP: glutamate receptors and other areas- changes # and shape of dendrites and synapses.

Protein Synthesis RNA during/after learning for LTM,

ApoE4: linked to alzheimers
James-Lange:
Body then interpret mentally
Cannon-Bard
Simultaneous
Schacter-Schacter
Only one physio reaction, its how we interpret it.
Lazarus
Appraisal: how you interpret events/situation. Depends on you and how you interpret it/respond.
Emotion: Limbic
Amygdala
Hypothalamus
Cerberal Ctex
Amygdala: perception of emotion, and immediate visceral response (anger, fear, etc)
Hypothalamus: translate into response

CC: Left =positive emotions (damage= depression)
Right=nondom=negative (damage = indifference, cheerful)
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
Stress response mediated by adrenal and pituitary glands.

Alarm Reaction- release epinephrine, increase glucose and heart rate etc...

Resistance: Hypothalamus releases acth which releases cortisol

Exhaustion: cant keep up elevated levels, and fatigue depression set in... leave body vulnerable to disease, etc...
Sleep: 5 stages
Beta
Alpha
Theta
Delta
REM (most vivid dreams)
First two months, babies srat with REM then reverse. 50% of newborn, 30% by 6 months, and 20% by adulthood.
REM & Development
Post Concussional Syndrome: or
mild TBI
headache, dizzy, nausea, vision, drowsy, then- insomnia, fatigue, tinnitus, cognitive impairment, irritability, depression, anxiety. Most recover 1-3 months.
Huntington's:
Parent/child likelihood
Age
Symptoms
Children of huntingtons have 50%
Usually 30-50yo
Emotional/cognitive then motor
GABA isues, glutamate, in bg, cn, putamen, gp
PARKINSONS
Whats happening in brain

Co-occurring psychiatric symptoms:

Treating motor symptoms
Degeneration of dopamine cells in substantia nigra

Motor, then more psychiatric (ie, 50% depression)

With L-Dopa - a dopamine agonist
Generalized Seizures:
Tonic Clonic/GrandMal

Absence/petit mal/(tonic)
tonic- muscles contract-
clonic- shaking

Just loss of consciousness
Partial seizures:
Simple & complex
Start on one side of brain/body, sometimes spread
Simple- no loss of consciousness,
complex- change in consciousness
Multiple Sclerosis:
What is it?
Who?
Demyelination, various triggers. More women, age onset 20-40. 80-85% have relapsing remitting.

vision, fatigue, sensory probs, motor, electric sensation, 50-70% cognitive impairments
Anticholinergic SEs: (seen with traidtion antipsychotic/neuroleptics)

Extrapyramidal (dopamine related)
Dry mouth, blurred vision, tachycardia, urinary retention, constipation, delayed ejaculation
EP's: Tardive dyskenesia, other motor
Atypicals:
Treat + and - symptoms of schizophrenia and other disorders.
Have some anticholinergic, fewer extrapyramidal
Require bloodwork
Cannon Bard
VS
James Lange
CB: Simultaneous

JL Body -> Emotion

Schacter-> one response, how we interpret
