Study 1
Study 2
Neurotransmitter 1
Neurotransmitter 2
100
It is the method by which messages are sent through the central nervous
What is Neurotransmission?
100
It's aim was to see how sensory deprivation affects the brain and how the serotonin affects behaviour.
What is the aim of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999) study?
100
The aim of this study was to determine role of neurotransmitter acetylcholine on memory, specifically memory formation.
What is the aim of Martinez & Kesner (1991) study?
100
It is a body regulator it controls bodily processes such as sleep, libido and body temperature.
What is Serotonin?
100
Effective deliverer of sodium ions stimulates muscle contractions; excites nerves
What is Effects of Acetylcholine (ach)?
200
It is nerve cells - one of the building blocks of behaviour.
What is Neuron
200
In the study of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999) they did not consume water or food and did not speak and were also exposed to cold weather.
Who were the participants in the study of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999)? (Monks)
200
Rats
What is the participant in Martinez & Kesner (1991) study?
200
negative emotions such as anxiety and depression.
What are the things that Serotonin protects us from?
200
acetylcholine (Ach) is present in here.
What is peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
300
They are the body’s natural chemical messengers which transmit information from one neuron to another.
What are Neurotransmitters?
300
They found that serotonin levels had increased in the monks
What is the result of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999)?
300
scopolamine and physostigmine
What are the injections did rats get?
300
Serotonin stimulates neurotransmission in this neuron
What is post-synaptic neuron?
300
They are found widely throughout the body and brain
What are acetylcholine receptors?
400
Neurotransmitters are stored in here
What is use of (neurons') terminal buttons?
400
blood sample was used
What did Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999) used to get a result of study?
400
Rats were slower at finding way round maze and made more errors
What is the effect of Scopolamine?
400
Serotonin is secreted into the human body by this.
What is pineal glands?
400
Decreased heart rate, Increased production of saliva, High doses and Deficient levels
What are the cause of increase in Ach?
500
it is gap between two neurons where neurotransmitters cross.
What is synapse?
500
sensory deprivation triggered the release of serotonin. This was the conclusion of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999). Thus, this study shows that the neurotransmitter serotonin affects the human behaviour of increased arousal causing hallucinations, therefore affecting human behaviour in terms of arousal and emotion.
What is the connection between the study of Kasamatsu and Hirai (1999) and LO 28?
500
It is Questionable to what extent these findings can be generalized to humans.
What is the limitations of Martinez & Kesner (1991)?
500
This situation leads to low levels of arousal and lack of positive emotion, hence symptoms of depression
What is effect of low levels of serotonin?
500
It contribute to convulsions and tremors
What is cause of High doses?
