Lobes
The 4 lobes of the brain comprise this major section of the brain:
Cerebrum
The 'branchydoos' of the neuron that receive incoming chemical signals:
Dendrite
The part of the brain mostly responsible for handling automatic functions, heart rate, and alertness:
(Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain Stem)
Brain Stem
Responsible for raising heart rate. Often released during the 'flight or fight' mechanism.
Norepinephrine
Name the two main founders of Humanistic Psychology
Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow
Which lobe is responsible for interpreting and remembering auditory information such as music and speech?
What is the temporal lobe.
This protective layer of fat covers the part of the neuron that sends electrical impulses to increase conductivity
Myelin Sheath
Literally translates to 'little brain'
(Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain Stem)
Cerebellum
The tiny gap between two neurons where chemicals are exchanged is known as:
The synapse
What is the step of Maslow's hierarchy of needs that one must achieve right before self-actualization:
Self-Esteem
Which lobe is responsible for interpreting and remembering visual information?
What is the occipital lobe
This disorder breaks down the myelin sheath which makes neural impulses slower and leads to loss of cognition/memory
Alzheimer's Dementia
The most evolved part of the brain out of the 3 major structures on the brain:
(Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain Stem)
Cerebrum
Give one example of a condition you may develop with too little and too much dopamine:
Parkinsons, Schizophrenia
The bottom two tiers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs were identified as ____ needs. And the top two were identified as ____ needs.
Basic/Psychological
Which lobe is responsible for complex though, problem solving, and interpretation of other people's behavior?
What is the frontal lobe
Gaps between the myelin sheath on neurons that allow neurons to move around more easily
Nodes of Ranvier
What part of the brain is responsible for regulating aggression and anxiety?
Amygdala
What is the BROAD name of the type of medication that induces sleepiness and drowsiness. It uses GABA as a means to do this. (Not thorazine, that is simply a single drug that falls under this category)
Barbiturates
The idea that one's self-image and idealized image must be overlap in order to achieve self-actualization is known as:
Congruence
What system is involved with learning, memory, emotion, and motivation?
What is the limbic system
Identify the resting potential of a neuron and the greatest possible electrical charge:
-40 mv - +70 mv
What sinew connects the left and the right side of the brain?
What is the corpus callosum
When unused neurotransmitters return to their host neuron, this is called:
Reuptake
Another name for Humanistic Therapy is:
Client-Centered Therapy
