Back 11

destroys all of them a little bit of a time not selective to one brain area

Front 12

split brain patients

Back 12

have seizures

Front 13

not a bunlde of nerons but a bundle that connects the the brains

Front 14

split brain patients

Back 14

will lie if you ask them questions

Front 15

dominant hand

Back 15

sign of the brains a symentry

Front 16

walking

Back 16

is automated which is why split brain patients can walk

Front 17

symptoms of split brain patients after about two months leave why

Back 17

because there are smaller connectors that start to connect themselves

Front 18

neurons

Back 18

once dead don't regrow they could but scar tissues prevents it

Front 19

centeral nervous system

Back 19

brain and spinal cord

Front 20

somatic half

Back 20

nerves that go to muscles that allow you to contract sensory half and motor half to this system

Front 21

Autonomic half of nervous system

Back 21

two halves sympathetic fight or flight
parasympathetic stop/rest

Front 22

sympathetic

Back 22

creates an automatic response for fight or flight does things to make you more likely to survive

Front 23

candle light

Back 23

made eyes dilate which creates arousal

Front 24

parasympathetic

Back 24

consume process and store energy digestive system works with sex they work together

Front 25

what are brains made of

Back 25

Glia, neurons

Front 26

neurons

Back 26

individual cells in the nervous system that receive integrate and transmit information

Front 27

Glia

Back 27

cells in the nervous system that provide structural support and insulation, latin for glue, transmission from neuron to neuron, chemical balance

Front 28

Parts of a neuron

Back 28

Dendrites, soma, axon, terminal buttons, synapse

Front 29

Dendrites

Back 29

receives and integrates

Front 30

Gene

Back 30

book definition is weak small bit of DNA that creates one protien we have twenty to 35 thousand so that's close to the different types of proteens we can make

Front 31

Brain doesn't work

Back 31

unless neurons are active all the time

Front 32

neurons are active

Back 32

due to proteins

Front 33

Soma

Back 33

cell body-integrates

Front 34

Axon

Back 34

Transmits away from the soma

Front 35

Terminal Buttons

Back 35

secrete neurotransmitters

Front 36

Synapse

Back 36

junction where information is transmitted to the adjacent cell

Front 37

Glutamate

Back 37

know about it activate it

Front 38

Gaba

Back 38

know about it inhibit it

Front 39

equal librium

Back 39

atoms will equal out

Front 40

Ions

Back 40

will move until they equaled

Front 41

Proteins

Back 41

huge cluster of molecules

Front 42

basic rule of chemistry

Back 42

opposite charges attract

Front 43

EPSP

Back 43

Excitatory post synaptic potential

Front 44

-55mv or mili volts

Back 44

is thresh hold

Front 45

action potential

Back 45

is the signal that goes down the axon

Front 46

what causes EPSP

Back 46

sodium rushing in and glutamate receptor has to open up a hole the more glutamate you dump the more glutamate receptors will open holes and you'll get a larger epsp

Front 47

Gaba binds to Gaba receptor

Back 47

the gaba receptor opens a hole but not for sodium it's for chloride

Front 48

chloride

Back 48

a negative receptor

Front 49

receptors open this

Back 49

ion channel

Front 50

IPSP

Back 50

inhibitory post synaptic potential

Front 51

EPSP

Back 51

the bases of any drug you will ever consume

Front 52

sarantonan transporter

Back 52

reuses sarantonan

Front 53

neuron firing

Back 53

the bases of every though you will ever have

Front 54

voltage dated sodium channel

Back 54

another type of protein that's embedded in the axon

Front 55

vdsc

Back 55

won't open until voltage channel reaches -55 when this happens sodium rushes in

Front 56

axon potential

Back 56

a series of voltage gated sodium channels opening and closing on the axon

Front 57

Glutamate

Back 57

most prevalent excitatory NT in the brain

Front 58

GABA

Back 58

most prevalent inhibitory NT in the brain

Front 59

Acetylcholine

Back 59

Movemet

Front 60

Monoamines

Back 60

regulate many apects of everyday behavior

monoamines

Front 62

serotonin

Back 62

sleep/wakefullness, eating, aggressive behavior, depression
monoamines

Front 63

Norepinephrine

Back 63

depression. emotion, stress
monoamines

Front 64

Endorphins

Back 64

endogenous morphine

Front 65

Oxytocin

Back 65

love, social bonding, trust

Front 66

why do we get an action potential when we hit -55 ml volts

Back 66

voltage gated sodium channels open

Front 67

study how the brains works

Back 67

neuro transmission

Front 68

Endocrine System

Back 68

know the ones in the brain and a few in the body

Front 69

Endocrine Glands

Back 69

controlled by the nerous system through the hypothalmus

Front 70

pituitary

Back 70

master gland releases hormones that cause other glands to release additional hormones

Front 71

pineal gland

Back 71

releases metonan and it makes you sleeply

Front 72

one more

Back 72

find on slides

Front 73

brain plasticity

Back 73

the brain is plastic it can sprout no synapses and can change

Front 74

brain tissue implants and stem cells

Back 74

how can we use stem cells

Front 75

nanotechnology and neuroscience

Back 75

small engineered devices to help release

Front 76

Heredity and Behavior

Back 76

nature and nurture not nature vs nurture

Front 77

polygenetic

Back 77

not a single gene but multiple genes

Front 78

gene

Back 78

creates a protiene

Front 79

chromosomes

Back 79

strands of DNA carrying genetic information

Front 80

Genotype does not equal

Back 80

phenotype

Front 81

phenotype

Back 81

what you physicaly and mentally are as a person

Front 82

genotype

Back 82

is your genes

Front 83

We inherit dispositions, not destinies

Back 83

Front 84

Genes cannot tell us exactly what a person will be like
