Visual System
The portion of the retina with the highest concentration of photoreceptors
What is the fovea?
The portion of the inner ear where hair cells are located.
What is the cochlea?
The neural region that is largely responsible for producing DA.
What is the substantia nigra?
These are the two large categories of long-term memory.
What are explicit and implicit?
Th part of the brain stem closest to the spinal cord.
What is the medulla?
The most active PRs in dimly lit environments
What are Rods?
The range of human hearing.
What is 20 - 20,000 Hz?
The different phases of neural communication affected by drugs.
What are NT production, clearance, release, and receptor binding?
Recalling going to Disneyland for the first time is this type of memory.
What is episodic memory?
A neural measurement tool that indicates where the brain is active during a certain task.
What is fMRI or PET?
Neural hemisphere where information from the left visual field is processed
What is the right hemisphere?
The sound wave component that corresponds to loudness.
What is amplitude?
NE from the locus coeruleus primarily regulates these two characteristics.
What is alertness and mood?
The striatum is heavily involved in this type of memory.
This cell makes up the myelin covering PNS axons.
What are Schwann cells?
Neurons whose axons leave the eye and enter the brain.
What are retinal ganglion cells?
Ear structures responsible for conducting vibrations against the eardrum into waves in cochlear fluid.
What are the ossicles?
An exogenous substance that mimics and amplifies the effects of a certain NT.
What is an agonist?
The hippocampus is imperative for executing the process in memory.
What is converting short term memories to long term memory?
The opening of these ion channels leads to depolarizing EPSPs.
What are ligand-gated Na+ channels?
The brain region that first receives sensory input from the eyes
What is the LGN?
The inner ear structure that responds to low frequency vibrations.
What is the apical basilar membrane?
Drugs that treat ADHD by increasing DA activity in the prefrontal cortex.
What are amphetamines?
Increased neurogenesis in adult mice correlates with this effect on memory.
What is increased forgetting?
This nervous system is most likely active when I am at home taking nap.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
