Drugs And Behavior Exam 1

Front 1

Hindbrain (parts)

Back 1

Medulla
Pons
Cerebellum

Front 2

Medulla

Back 2

Medulla - Coordinates basic life function, mediates respiratory and cardiac effects of some drugs

Front 3

Pons

Back 3

Pons - Together with Medulla, contains the reticular formation. Relay station between cortex and cerebellum

Front 4

Cerebellum

Back 4

Cerebellum - Maintenance of balance, coordination of skeletal motor activities and learned motor skills

Front 5

Midbrain*

*may not be important for the exam

Back 5

Controls important sensory and motor reflexes
Pain information
Non-spinal reflexes

Front 6

Forebrain

Back 6

Cerebral Cortex
Limbic System
Basal Ganglia

Front 7

Cerebral Cortex

Back 7

1.) Frontal Lobe - what makes us human, anything that involves complicated planning, sophisticated reasoning, inhibition of inappropriate behavior, motor controls
2.)Parietal Lobe - somatosensory, processing of touch,pain, etc.
3.) Occipital Lobe - visual processing
4.) Temporal Lobe - auditory
*association cortex - ~80% of the cortex that integrates different information

Front 8

Limbic System

Back 8

think of controlling emotional behavior, how we interpret the world through emotions
Contains primary reward center
Sexual Behavior
Site of actions of drugs that create euphoria

Front 9

Limbic System (structures)

Back 9

1. Hypothalamus -regulates many motivated functions (eating, drinking)
2. Hippocampus - involved in memory formation and storage
3. Amgydala - response in with emotional states
4. Parts of cerebral cortex - interracts with Limbic system to guide behavior

Front 10

Basal Ganglia

Back 10

Group of interconnected structures that control voluntary, smooth movement
Actions of stimulants in the basal ganglia increases motor activity
