Sometimes called the "Reptilian Brain".
What is the brain stem?
100
This is when learning occurs.
What are new synaptic connections?
100
The two types of memory that create short term memory.
What are sensory memory and working memory?
100
The RAS does this.
What is filters the sensory stimuli bombarding the sensory receptors and only lets the important stimuli through.
100
The percentage of calories consumed by the brain.
What is 20%?
200
Is responsible for homeostatis in the body.
What is the hypothalamus?
200
This is what happens at the synaptic gap.
What is transfer of information in electro-chemical signals (neurotransmitters)?
200
Approximitely a fraction of a second to up to 20 seconds.
What is the length of time the sensory register holds information?
200
Hebb's Law
What is neurons that fire together wire together?
200
A band of fibers that connects both hemispheres of the cerebrum.
What is the corpus callosum?
300
This part of the nervous system is 18" long.
What is the spinal cord?
300
These are three ways to "see" the brain.
What are EEG, PET, fMRI (MRI, x-ray, CAT scan)?
300
These three ways help stimulate learning and get a student's attention.
What is novelity, intensity, and movement?
300
The most important function of the brain.
What is survival?
300
This is the amount of sensory information filtered out byt the thalamus.
What is 99%?
400
If this is destroyed by a stroke the patient recognizes all emotions but fear.
What is the amygdala?
400
They send neurotransmitters and these recieve them.
What are dendrites and axons?
400
This is why you react before you think.
What is the pathway between the thalamus and amygdala is shorter than the pathway from the thalamus and the cortex?
400
When movements become automatic, this part of the brain takes over.
What is the cerebellum?
400
This part represents 80% of the total weight of the brain.
What is the cerebrum?
500
Represents 80% of the brain by weight.
What is the cerebrum?
500
This substances improves communication between neurons/
What is myelin?
500
The hippocampus does these three things.
What is holds memories from immediate past, constantly checks working memory, and dispatches memories to long term storage?
500
The sense of smell follows this pathway.
What is by pass the thalamus and go directly to the cortex?
500
The percetn of total neurons found in the cerebrum and the total volume of the brain.
What is 50% of the neurons and 10% of total volume?
