Front 9

LIMBIC SYSTEM

Back 9

Emotional center of brain that also plays roles in smell motivation and memory

Front 10

THALAMUS

Back 10

Gateway from the sense organs to the primary sensory cortex

Front 11

HYPOTHALAMUS

Back 11

Part of the brain responsible for maintaining a constant internal state

Front 12

AMYGDALA

Back 12

Part of limbic system that plays key roles in fear, excitement and arousal (4 fs)

Front 13

HIPPOCAMPUS

Back 13

Part of the brain that plays a role in spatial memory

Front 14

BRAINSTEM

Back 14

Part of the brain the spinal cord and cerebral cortex that contains the midbrain,pins and medulla

Front 15

MIDBRAIN

Back 15

Part of the brain stem that contributes to the movement, tracking of visual stimuli and reflexes triggered by sound

Front 16

HINDBRAIN

Back 16

Region below the midbrain that contains the cerebellum, pons and medulla

Front 17

PONS

Back 17

Part of brain that connects the cortex with the cerebellum

Front 18

MEDULLA

Back 18

Part of brain stem involved in basic functions such as heartbeat and breathing

Front 19

EEG

Back 19

Recording pf the brains electrical activity at the surface of the skull. (aren't good at telling what part of the brain is being activated)

Front 20

CT

Back 20

Scanning technique using multiple x-rays to construct 3D images (better for brain tumors)

Front 21

MRI

Back 21

Technique that uses magnetic fields to indirectly visualize brain structure

Front 22

PET

Back 22

Imaging technique that measures the consumption of glucose- like molecules, yielding a picture of neural activity in different regions of the brain

Front 23

fMRI

Back 23

Technique that uses magnetic fields to visualize brain activity using the BOLD response

Front 24

AUDITORY

Back 24

Haircells--brain stem--thamalus--temporal lobe

Front 25

SOMATESENSORY

Back 25

Somatic nerves--spinal cord-- spinal reflexes may be activated--connects in brain stem--go to touch or pain

Front 26

SMELLOLFACTION

Back 26

Olfactory receptors--olfactory cortex--limbic system

Front 27

TASTE/ GUSTATION

Back 27

taste buds-- gustatory cortex--limbic system

Front 28

CORTICAL HIERCHIES

Back 28

sense--primary sensory--association cortex --frontal what? parietal where?

Front 29

STAGE 1 OF SLEEP

Back 29

5-10 mins, NREM,feels like you are drifting off,brain activity decreases 50%

Front 30

STAGE 2 OF SLEEP

Back 30

65% of sleep is done in this stage, 10-30mins,NREM, minor noises wont wake up

Front 31

STAGE 3 AND 4 OF SLEEP

Back 31

15- 30mins, adults 25% of sleep in this is a deep sleep, children 40% is a deep sleep, crucial to feel rested, night terrors occur in this stage

Front 32

STAGE 5 OF SLEEP

Back 32

25% of nights sleeps, 10-20mins,REM,return to stage 2 after,90 min cycles, increased brain activity,rapid&irregular breathing

Front 33

DEPRESSANTS

Back 33

Alcohol

Front 34

STIMULANTS

Back 34

Cocaine; euprohia, enhanced mental and physical capacity,blocks dopamine reuptake

Caffeine;

Nicotine;has adjustive value, activates axectyicholine receptors

Meth; explosive behaviour, weightloss,wide eyes

Front 35

OPIATES

Back 35

Heroin; slow and calm, mimics brain's natural endrophins, 10x stronger than morphine

Fentanyl; more powerful than heroin, need to build up tolerance or could cause death

Front 36

PSYCHEDELICS

Back 36

Marijuana; THC binds to anandamide receptors, time slows, treats cancer and nausea, can affect movement and memory

LSD (acid); very potent, alters perceptions, feelings of clear thoughts, more seratonin

MDMA(x); stimulant hullacinagen, feel depressed few days after, thought ti treat PTSD and anxiety, gives more empathy, energy, openness, sensitivity.

Front 37

UCS

Back 37

Stimulus that elicits an automatic respond without prior conditioning (food)

Front 38

UCR

Back 38

automatic response to an unconditioned stimulus (drooling from seeing food)

Front 39

CR

Back 39

Response elicited by a previously neutral stimulus as a result of conditioning (hearing bell then drooling)

Front 40

CS

Back 40

Initially neutral stimulus which after conditioning elicits a condition response(CR)
