Brain Localization Theory
Which part of the brain is responsible for interoception, emotions, and particularly disgust?
Insular Lobe
What is the name of the hormone system?
Endocrine
The body attempts to achieve homeostasis through a balance between multiple systems. What systems did we study that worked to achieve this balance?
Endocrine System and the Nervous System
What is the name of the minuscule gap between neurons?
Synapse
Which historical figure has his frontal lobe damaged. This would lead to more studies into brain localization.
Phineas Gage
White matter in the brain is composed of this cellular feature.
Axons and axon terminals
What is commonly called the master gland?
Pituitary gland
Roughly, how many nerve cells are in the human body?
100 Billion
What is the name of the electrical signal that travels through the nervous system?
Action Potential
Biological Psychology can be referred to by another name. What is it?
Biopsychology
Name all four lobes in the cortex
Frontal, Occipital, Parietal, Temporal
A hormone binds to a specific type of cell. They can be called receptor cells or .....
Target cells
The Brain and Spinal Cord are referred to as.....
The nerves branching out from the spinal cord are referred to as...
Central Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous System
When a neurotransmitter activates the next neuron is is said to be this type of transmitter; while, if it decreases the firing it is said to be this type if transmitter.
Excitatory Neurotransmitter
Inhibitory Neurotransmitter
Neurotransmitters are housed in this cell feature to be released when activated.
Vesicles
The portion of the brain that helps us maintain occular fixation on targets. It also stores sequences of movements.
Cerebellum
What does HPA stand for?
Hypothalamus- Pituitary- Adrenal Axis (HPA)
What aspect of the nervous system is activated when we are at rest.
Parasympathetic
1. This neurotransmitter helps regular our mood (well-being and happiness)
2. This neurotransmitter helps calm the firing of nerves in the cell body
3. This neurotransmitter is released during exercise
1. Serotonin
2. GABA
3. Endorphins
The grooves in the cerebrum have a specific name, what are they called?
Sulci
The section of the brain that helps maintain homeostasis.
Hypothalamus
In a study we reviewed, rats were subjected to a stimulus in order to track a hormones impact on memory. There was a negative correlation to the hormone (the more it was present the worse the results). What was the hormone?
Cortisol
Dendrites
Nucleus (Soma)
Axon
Myelin Sheath
Node of Ranvier
Axon Terminal
What does SSRI stand for?
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Label the Synapse as fully as you can. (7 from our notes)
Neurotransmitter
Vesicle
Receptors
Action Potential
Synaptic Cleft (Gap)
Presynaptic Neuron (Axon)
Postsynaptic Neuron (dendrite)
