This person is the author of 'Principles of psychology' and first saw human psyche as a function of nervous system.
William James

These cells support neuron by creating myelin sheath, controlling blood flow, etc..
Glial cells
100
This part of neurons deliver action potential
Axon
100
This is a hollow sphere that carries the neurotransmitters
Synaptic vesicles
100
The chemical that binds to the receptor and acts like a neurotransmitter is called...
Agonist
200
This method of research make changes in the brain and observe what happens in behaviors as consequences.
Somatic intervention
200
This system is in charge of immediate action such as fight or flight response.
Sympathetic nervous system
200
Neurons that send the action potential to another neuron is called....
Presynaptic neuron
200
Action potential is generated when the electric charge in the axon reach the ....
threshold
200
This neurotransmitter is relevant to mood, anxiety, and sleep, sexual behavior and lack of this neurotransmitter is related with depression.
Serotonin
300
In this discipline, researchers study what happens to the brain while participants are making decisions.
Neuroeconomics
300
This brain area is in charge of complex cognitive processing, is composed of 6 different layers, and pyramidal cell is the most outstanding in this area.
Cerebral cortex
300
This in the post synaptic neuron captures and reacts to neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitter receptors
300
Action potential is achieved by inrush of this ion and opening of this ion channel nearby as a result.
Na+ (Sodium)
300
This substance binds to GABA receptor. It first acts as a stimulant and later generates lasting depressing effect. It reduces post-synaptic excitation.
Alcohol
400
Brain is constantly changing and growing. This phenomena is called...
Neuroplasticity
400
This nerves transfers information from spinal cords and brain to muscles and glands.
Motor nerves
400
Presynaptic neurons that depolarizes the postsynaptic neurons are called
Excitatory presynaptic neurons
400
This measures the action potential in the brain.
EEG
400
This kind of substances generates strong sensory distortion and LSD is one type of this.
Hallucinogens
500
This brain imaging technique observes moment-by-moment oxygen use and blood flow in the brain and locate the activated area.
fMRI
500
Cerebral cortex is composed of 4 different lobes. Name them.
Frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe
500
Some neurotransmitters are taken back to the presynaptic neuron and gets recycled. This process is called...
Reuptake
500
When action potential travel down the axon, the size of it gets larger, smaller or stay the same?
Stay the same
500
Name four types of amine neurotransmitters. There are four different pathways for these.
Acetylcholine, Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephrine
