Dopamine

Delightful, drops in disappointment, dope in excess

Acetylcholine

Active, muscle contraction and attentive, memory

Glutamate

Go! Go! Brains main gas pedal

Gaba

Gear down gaba, brains main brake

Substance P

Pain

Endorphin

Enjoy! Ultimate high and blocks pain

Serotonin

Sweet, sleepy and slimming, reduces appetite

Norepinephrine

Neat, feels good, nervy, impulsive, naughty, aggressive

Balance of norepinephrine

Serotonin

Balance of GABA

Glutamate

Negative inside, depressed, not going to do anything

GABA

Blocks serotonin re-uptake

Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors like prozac

Blocks release of Substance P

Endorphins, internal morphine

Blocks glutamate receptors

Alcohol

Blocks re-uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine

Cocaine and some anti depressants

Drug increases release of norepinephrine and dopamine

Amphetamines

Increase gabas effect as brake for brain, three things

Valproic acid


Valium


Alcohol

Disease involving excess dopamine

Schizophrenia

Disease involving a shortage of dopamine

Parkinsons disease

Acetylcholine

Involved in muscle contraction, memory, thinking, and parasympathetic system

GABA

Brains main brake pedal, it's most important inhibitory neurotransmitter

Substance P

Causes pain, Capsaicin in chili peppers increases it's release

Serotonin

Improves mood and self control, causes sleepiness, reduces appetite

Dopamine

Feels good, drops in disappointment, increases in Pleasant surprises, excess contributes to schizophrenia, shortage results in Parkinsons disease

Norepinephrine

Feels good, increases impulsiveness and aggressiveness, used by sympathetic system

Glutamate

Brains main gas pedal, it's most important excitatory n.t

Endorphin

Provides the ultimate high, blocks pain and provides the placebo effect

Neural tube formation begins

3rd and 4th weeks after fetilization

Two birth defects caused by neural tube not forming

Spina Bifida and anecephaly

Tube defects are the worst lower or higher?

Higher

Spina Bifida detection before birth

Hugh levels of alpha fetal protein in mom's blood

Vitamin helps prevent spina bifida and when do women need it most

Folic acid and before they know they are pregnant before the 3rd and 4th weeks

Most common birth defect and what causes it

Cerebral palsy and it's essentially a stroke that occurs before baby is born

Gray matter

Thinking parts, cortex

White matter

Insulated by myelin and most of cerebrum's interior

Thalamus

Conscious part of brain

Cerebellum

Important for coordination, balance, and muscle tone

Mid Brain/ thalamus

Major relay station for sensation

Pineal gland

Measures day length and makes melatonin

Medulla

Controls many life support functions including breathing

Pons

Pending it causes pinpoint pupils and coma

Hypothalamus

Has many functions including drives and hormone control

Left hemispheres specialties

Speaking half, analyzes and makes plans, list maker

Right hemispheres specialties

Music, art, insights, and remembering faces

Occipital lobes

Vision

Temporal lobes

Memory, smell, and hearing

Parietal Lobes

Makes sense of sensations

Frontal lobes

Makes decisions-has no sensory functions

Prefrontal

Does our most complex thinking and planning

Brocas

Tells the mouth how to talk, if damaged speech becomes slow and difficult

Premotor

Learned motor skills

Primary motor area

Map of body for controlling voluntary movements

Primary sensory area

Map of body for sensation and know where body parts are

Sensory association area

Interprets sensations

Auditory

Hears

Wernickes

Understands language

Occipital lobe

Vision

Proprioception

Keeps track of your body parts, you don't have to look

Phantom limb sensations

Pain in missing limb, common among amputees

Medulla oblongata

Deepest and most protected part of brain, runs breathing and other vital functions. Intercranial pressure can squeeze into the foramen magnum and stop breathing

Fourth ventricle

Ventricle where CSF comes out to the subarchnoid space

Basal nuclei

Huntingtons disease and parkinsons disease affect this part of the brain

Corpus callosum

Huge bundle of axons connects the left and right hemispheres, harder than any other brain tissue, calloused body

Third ventricle in the thalamus

This part sits on top of the brain stem and directs sensory impulses up to the conscious part of the brain. Decides what sensations we will notice

Longitudinal fissure

The deep groove

Link between hemispheres

Corpus callosum

Hole with CSF

Lateral ventricle

Thin hole with CSF

Third ventricle

Parkinsons disease

Muscles stay contracted, causing rigidity, stiff face, trembling hands, and hunger


L-dopa is main treatment


Disease starts when the substantial nigga stops making dopamine

Huntingtons disease

Totally genetic, risk for kids 50% if parent has it


More severe than parkinsons


Basal nuclei disintegrates, dopamine levels are normal

Flow of CSF

1. CSF comes out of choroid plexuses in the lateral ventricles.


2. Third ventricle in thalamus.


3. Cerebral Aqueduct in the midbrain.


4. Fourth ventricle under the. cerebellum.


5. Subarchnoid space around brain and cord.


6. Into the blood in a dual sinus.


Hydrocephalus

When CSF accumulates in the ventricles

Migraine Pains

Cerebral arteries by constricting and dilating too much.

Spinal Tap/ Lumbar Puncture

To pull out CSF to see if meningitis is viral or bacterial, causes spinal headaches until CSF is able to float back to brain. Bacterial = deadly

Epidural

Injection of anesthetic into fat filled epidural space, no headache

Spinal anesthesia

Injection of anesthetic into the subarchnoid space, causes headaches because CSF may leak out of meninges after surgery. Most dangerous because needle is so close to cord.

Epidural bleed

Arterial bleed

Subarchnoid bleed

Arterial bleed

Subdural bleed

Bleeding veins and most lethal head bleed

Blood Brain Barrier

Consists of atrocities and tight blood capillary walls, protects brain from toxins but also can keep out some medications.

Why do we sleep?

Increased CSF flow during sleep washes out metabolic wastes.
