Neurobiology of Development
This embryonic structure will become the spinal column
Neural tube
Slowness or absence of movement
hypokinesia
Theorist responsible for identifying object permanence and conservation of liquid(s)
Jean Piaget
What is the last brain region to mature?
Frontal lob
non-invasive research method
imaging
This structure is the "nursery" for the rest of the nervous system
neural tube
Unusual neuronal maturation rates are a suspected etiology for what disorder?
ASD
Moved young laboratory rats home and let them grow up in his kitchen; an enriched environment
Hebb
Part of the brain being stimulated when rats engage in repeated electrical self-stimulation
hypothalamus
brains are sectioned post-mortem and stained
histological methods
This structure resembles a fried egg
embryonic disc
Brain tumors that develop in adults are typically what kind of tumor?
Glioblastoma
Responsible for theory of growth cones as well as neuron theory
Ramon y Cajal
Uses x-rays to create a 3-dimensional image of the brain
CT or computed tomography
A temporary and reversible lesion that prevents synaptic transmission
regional cooling
neurogenesis is largely complete after five months of age; neurogenesis in what region of the brain is the exception?
hippocampus
Broca's area
Studied the concept and coined the term synaptic pruning
Changeux
In this method, areas of high-water content stand out from low-water content
MRI
High specificity; low temporal resolution
chemogenetics
What product of progenitor cells do not divide?
Removal of the hippocampi results in what functional deficit
Anterograde amnesia; H.M., can't form new memories
Neurons maximally responsive to specific locations in the world
Place cells
The neuroplastic ability to modify behavior from a damaged area of the brain
compensation
In this state, we expect low amplitude and fast frequency
arousal, excitement or alert
