I Think Neuron to Something
The minimum amount of time needed before a neuron can fire another action potential
Refractory System
What is the branch of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord?
Central nervous system
What part of the brain controls breathing and heartbeat?
Medulla
Which lobe is responsible for a person’s voluntary movement and higher-level executive functions?
Frontal Lobe
If you have issues with balance after being involved in a car accident, what part of your brain may be damaged?
Cerebellum
The part of the neuron responsible for receiving incoming signals from other neurons
Dendrite
Which system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?
Autonomic nervous system
What part of the brain is responsible for coordinating voluntary movement and balance?
Cerebellum
Which part of the brain is responsible for object and facial recognition?
Occipital Lobe
If you receive blunt force trauma to the back of your head and can no longer recognize the faces of family members, what part of the brain is damaged?
Occipital Lobe
What do neurotransmitters cross to reach the next neuron?
Synapse or Synaptic Gap/Cleft
The division of the nervous system that allows us to feel the world and move around in it
Somatic nervous system
What part of the Limbic system is responsible for learning fear and other basic emotional responses?
Amygdala
Which part of the brain is responsible for auditory information processing?
Temporal Lobe
If you receive a TBI and can no longer create memories for storage, what part of your brain may be damaged?
Hippocampus
Deficits of this neurotransmitter are linked to Alzheimer's disease
Acetylcholine (ACh)
What branch of our nervous system is responsible for putting us into our fight-or-flight response?
Sympathetic Nervous System
What is the primary function of your Hippocampus?
Explicit memory storage.
The (somato)sensory cortex is located in this lobe
Parietal Lobe
If this part of the brain is significantly damaged, a person would likely fall into a deep coma and not wake up:
Reticular Formation
What does GABA stand for?
Gamma-aminobutyric Acid
Activation of this branch of our nervous system would result in a slowed heart rate and increased digestion.
Parasypmathetic Nervous System
The part of the brain that acts as our sensory switchboard, routing all sensory messages except smell
Thalamus
Wernicke’s area is GENERALLY located in what side/lobe of the brain?
Left Temporal Lobe
Coach Rosenberg got hit by an MH player's golf ball on the left side of his head during a match and was unable to push the gas pedal of his car to drive himself home (name the damage, be specific)
Left Motor Cortex or Left Frontal Lobe
