Front 1

Name the 4 Functions of the Brain

Back 1

1. Control/Regulate biological functions
2. Handle Sensory Info
3. Control animal actions
4. Learning (primary function)

Front 2

These are cells that send/receive info (around 100-200 billion) in the brain tissue

Back 2

Neurons

Front 3

These cells provide structure and nutrition

Back 3

Glial Cells

Front 4

These cells are the fally cells around axons

Back 4

Myelin

Front 5

There are 10-15 times as many _________ than neurons.

Back 5

Support Cells (Glial & Myelin)

Front 6

This is the sending of messages

Back 6

Neuronal Conduction

Front 7

The _______ process is both electrical (the action potential - in the cell)and chemical(neurotransmitters - between cells).

Back 7

Electrochemical

Front 8

This man found that messages take time. The conduction rate is 30 messages/second

Back 8

Helmholtz

Front 9

Mind-altering drugs affect _______

Back 9

Neurotransmitters

Front 10

LSD mimics and therefore blocks _____

Back 10

Serotonin

Front 11

Cocaine blocks reuptake of _________ and ________ leading to the overabundance of these.

Back 11

Dopamine and Norepenephrine

Front 12

Alcohole produces ________

Back 12

Endorphins

Front 13

Dopamine in the cortex leads to ________ Disease

Back 13

Parkinsons

Front 14

The two cortex hemispheres are connected by _________. When this is split it results in "split brain" syndrome

Back 14

Corpus Callosum

Front 15

This is the crack or division in the brain.

Back 15

Fissure

Front 16

This is the last to develope in the brain, but the first to leave.

Back 16

Frontal Lobe

Front 17

This part of the brain affects vision.

Back 17

Occipital Lobe

Front 18

This part of the brain affects language and dreams.

Back 18

Temporal Lobe

Front 19

This part of the brain affects movement and tactile functions.

Back 19

Parietal Lobe

Front 20

The _________ is the part of the brain affecting memory.

Back 20

Hippocampus

Front 21

The _________ is the part of the brain affecting emotion and behavior regulation.

Back 21

Amygdala

Front 22

Finnius Gage completely changed when a railroad spike went through this part of his brain.

Back 22

Amygdala

Front 23

The _________ is the part of the brain affecting pleasure and basic drives.

Back 23

Hypothalamus

Front 24

The hippocampus, amygdala and hypothalamus are found below the ______ and above the ______

Back 24

Cortex & Brainstem

Front 25

This is the oldest part of us. It controls many functions as in movements, sleep and arousal and involuntary processes like breating, the pumping of blood, pooping, etc.

Back 25

Brainstem

Front 26

________ Map studied "cytoarchitecture" (types of cells and their arrangement."

Back 26

Broadmann's

Front 27

This type of imaging uses x-rays for spooting major damage within the brain. It is not very detailed.

Back 27

CT Scan

Front 28

This type of imaging reads clectrical impulses through the skull. It shows good temporal resolution (knows when things happened). Has bad spatial resolution (don't know where).

Back 28

ERP/EEG

Front 29

This type of imaging uses big magnets to detect oxygen in the blood. Shoes great spatial resolution, but poor temporal resolution. Compares resting to acting

Back 29

fMRI
