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)

|
Atypicals:
|
Treat + and - symptoms of schizophrenia and other disorders.
Have some anticholinergic, fewer extrapyramidal Require bloodwork |
