Column 1
Glycogen is primarily stored in this type of glial cell in the nervous system
astrocytes
This part of the brain located in the temporal lobe is mostly associated with memory
Hippocampus
This is the brain's primary source of energy and can be created from glycogen. But the brain gets most of this from circulation.
Glucose
These TWO terms are used for the "wrinkles" or "folds" on the outer surface of the cortex
Gyri and Sulci
This type of dreaming is defined as being aware of dreaming while you are sleep.
Lucid Dreaming
One reason for its name is that humans tend to move their eyes around under their eyelids.
REM sleep
These are the signaling molecules of the immune system
Cytokines
The space between neurons where communication occurs.
synapses
This is the brains primary inhibitory neurotransmitter
GABA
These are theories that dreams provide us with a kind of virtual environment, where we can work out scenarios in a safe and relatively consequence-free way
Simulation theories
Stage 3 and 4 of NREM sleep are referred to as ___-wave sleep
slow-wave sleep
This term means that something is generated by the organism (from within). And is the opposite of exogenous.
Endogenous
When ATP is broken down for energy, this remains
Adenosine
This neurotransmitter is best known for its role in mood regulation and is associated with SSRI's
Serotonin
This hypothesis is the idea that dreams arise because the cerebral cortex is activated by pontine nuclei during sleep. This activation causes the cerebral cortex to synthesize a conscious-like experience.
activation-synthesis hypothesis
This section of the brain consist of the medulla, pons, and cerebellum
hindbrain
This protein is well known in mammalian cellular clocks. It is created and degraded on about a 24 hour period, and it can be found in cells throughout your body, including skeletal muscle cells.
BMAL1
The ____ ______ activating system refers to a number of brainstem nuclei that project upward toward the hypothalamus, thalamus, and cortex, and ultimately promotes wakefulness by increasing activity in the cerebral cortex
ascending reticular activating system
This stage of REM sleep is most noticeable because it has eye movements and muscle twitching
Phasic
These TWO simulation theories are focused on the primary function of dreaming. One stimulates dangerous situations and the other social situations.
Threat and/or Social Simulation
This hunger hormone is released by cells in your gut to increase appetite.
Ghrelin
These are the THREE terms used to describe the active and sleep cycles for animals. One is being active during the day and sleeps at night. One is active at night and sleeps during the day. And the last one is animals that are most active during twilight hours. (List all of them)
Diurnal, Nocturnal, and Crepuscular
These TWO are located in the tegmentum of the pons and will produce and release acetylcholine to promote wakefulness.
The laterodorsal tegmentum (LDT) and peduculopontine tegmentum (PPT)
This type of cell detect light and send signals to the suprachiasmatic nucleus to let it know whether or not it is light or dark out
Photosensitive retinal ganglion cells
As part of protoconsciousness theory, this type of consciousness is described as more elaborate and abstract awareness, and is more reflective and metacognitive; you are aware of your consciousness and you think about it.
secondary consciousness
