I am in control.
Thanks for the Memories
Let's all work together.
Time to learn
100
Neurologists and neurosurgeons use them routinely to locate extent of tumors or lesions.
What is a computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) Scans?
100
These two type of cells make up the central nervous system.
What are neurons and glial cells?
100
Without it you would not remember where you put your keys or cell phone.
What is the hippocampus?
100
Key to balance, posture, and coordination.
What is the cerebellum?
100
It filters out about 99% of sensory information.
What is the thalamus?
200
An brain imaging scan that allows scientists to picture anatomical areas that become active while a person performs a various mental task.
What is a positron emission tomography scan (PET)?
200
They do not regenerate regularly, they transmit information to each other and form networks, and they come in several different shapes?Three ways that neurons are unique.
What are the three ways neurons are unique?
200
The hippocampus holds memories in the immediate past but eventually dispatches it to the memory of the cortex.
What is long-term memory?
200
"Gateway to the cortex," nearly all input from the sensory organs travels first to its nerve cell bodies.
What is the thalamus?
200
Use novelty, attach sense and meaning to task, incorporate movement.
What are three ways that teaches can increase potential for learning?
300
This scan shows the structures of the brain but also neural activity.
What is a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)?
300
These are the major parts of the neuron.
What are the cell body, dendrites, and an axon?
300
Memories are not stored in one location.
What is where memories are stored?
300
Maintains homeostasis, (body temperature, heart rate.)
What is the hypothalamus?
300
Represents 80% of the brain by weight.
What is the cerebrum?
400
An imaging tool that is used to measure electrical patterns created by the oscillations of the neurons.
What is an electroencephalography (EEG)?
400
Dendrites receive information from other cells and the axons send information to other cells.
What are the main jobs of the dendrites and the axon?
400
Repetition and experience strengthen networks.
What is how a memory is strengthened?
400
Major role in controlling emotions.
What is the amydgala?
400
The 4 inch bundle of fibers that connect the two cerebral hemispheres.
What is the corpus callosum?
500
This scan allows scientists to study changes in the brain and determine which areas are active each millisecond.
What is magnetoencephalography (MEG)?
500
A process where neurons are pruned away because they migrate to the wrong place or fail to form enough synaptic connections.
What is opoptosis?
500
The more meaning attached to new information will increase the likelihood of it being recalled later.
What is why do teachers pair background knowledge to new information?
500
Consists of the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus.
What is the limbic system?
500
Processes conscious decisions and responses made to novel situations.
What is the cortex?
