Brain Imaging Technique
This technique measures blood flow changes to detect brain activity in real time
fMRI
This neurotransmitter plays a major role in the brain’s reward system.
Dopamine
This study showed hippocampal growth in taxi drivers.
Maguire et al. (2000)
This hormone plays a key role in social bonding and trust.
Oxytocin
This type of twin showed a higher concordance rate for depression in Kendler et al's study
monozygotic (identical) twins
This imaging tool was crucial for identifying hippocampal growth in Draganski's juggling studies
MRI
This neurotransmitter is linked to mood, sleep, and appetite.
This brain structure is especially plastic in relation to spatial memory.
hippocampus
Pheromones are processed by this organ in some animals, but its role in humans is debated.
vomeronasal organ (vmo)
This gene was the focus of the Caspi et al. study
5HHT (AKA Serotonin)
In Brown and Kulik's study which form of brain imaging was used to detect brain activity associated to flashbulb memories?
fMRI
If a drug mimics or enhances the action of a neurotransmitter. It's called a...
Agonist
This structure regulates emotion, especially fear.
Amygdala
This was the key gene group studied by Wedekind et al.
MHC genes
What is the model called for when life stressors interfere with genetics?
Stress-Diathesis Model
Need to Stay Very Still
Claustrophobia/ Fear
The substance scopolamine was used for this purpose. (Rogers and Kesner)
To block Acetylcholine
Despite damage, Pauly could still form this type of memory.
Procedural Memory
In Mcgagh and Callhil's study This hormone was activated by emotional arousal and influenced memory consolidation.
Adrenaline
This field studies how environmental factors influence gene expression.
Epigenetics
Low ecological Validity
Follow up Question: Explain why..
Participants were more likely to do this when serotonin levels were higher. (In Crockett's Study)
Avoid causing harm to others (more prosocial)
This type of amnesia was primarily observed in HM.
anterograde amnesia
This drug was used in a follow-up study to block adrenaline's effects (In Mgaugh and Cahill's Study)
beta-blocker (propranolol)
Follow up question: What was the effect of the beta-blocker on memory performance?
Participants with this combination of alleles were more likely to show depressive symptoms when exposed to stress.
What are two short alleles
