D It regulates involuntary activities. A endocrine system B parasympathetic nervous system C spinal cord D somatic nervous system.
A somatosensory B auditory C primary visual D prefrontal. C B A D Neuroscience is the same thing as biological psychology. A True B False. Neurons are the fundamental building blocks of the nervous system. Glial cells called Schwann cells help guard the brain from inflammation and infection. The potential of a nerve cell at rest is about —70 mV. For a typical neuron, the threshold potential is —70 mV and the resting potential is —55 mV.
During an action potential, potassium ions rush into a neuron. For an individual neuron, some action potentials are stronger than are others. Action potentials travel more quickly in myelinated than in unmyelinated axons.
One disease that reflects a breakdown in myelin is cystic fibrosis. The process whereby neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by the sending neuron is called reuptake. Neurons are physically connected at a place called a synapse.
GABA sends inhibitory messages to a receiving neuron. Glutamate and GABA have similar effects on neural activity. Despite their different roles in behavior, all neurotransmitters are excitatory in their effects. Ellie lives with depression. Her medication probably elevates the activity of acetylcholine. Dopamine is involved in learning through reinforcement.
After a long run, Aaron sometimes experiences a feeling of euphoria, a "runners' high" reflecting the activity of a neurotransmitters called adenosine.
Caffeine enhances the activity of the neurotransmitter adenosine. The somatic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is a branch of the autonomic nervous system.
Sensory neurons carry information to the brain. Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. Reflexes are controlled by the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls the body's internal responses. Kate's racing heart suggests that her sympathetic nervous system is active. The parasympathetic nervous system controls the fight-or-flight response. Men earn a majority of the bachelor's degrees in the United States.
Some chemicals act as both neurotransmitters and hormones. The adrenal gland is the endocrine system's "CEO. Thyroxin is to insulin as the thyroid gland is to the pituitary gland. The bundle of nerve fibers joining the two hemisphere is called the corpus callosum. The split-brain operation is used to treat severe schizophrenia. Wilder Penfield conducted ground-breaking split brain studies. Will is a split-brain patient. When an object's image is flashed in his left-visual field, he cannot name the object.
Left brain is to language processing as right brain is to visual and spatial tasks. Some people are left-brained and others are right-brained. Abbie is right-handed. Wernicke's area is in the right frontal lobe.
Broca's and Wernicke's areas process music and gestures as well as language. The right hemisphere's role in language processing is negligible. Neuroplasticity is apparent, even when an entire hemisphere is lost. The evidence relating musical training to cognitive performance is mainly correlational.
Embryonic stem cells have helped treat Parkinson's disease in humans. A psychologist is using EEG when she uses scalp electrodes to measure the electrical activity in a participant's brain.
Computerized axial tomography CAT measures blood flow to the different areas of the brain. After a stroke, Mrs. Williamson has difficulty understanding what is said to her. The stroke probably damaged her temporal lobe. The processing of touch, pain, and pressure sensations occurs in the temporal lobe.
The case of Phineas Gage provided early knowledge regarding the role of the occipital lobe in thought and behavior. The motor cortex is to the visual cortex as the frontal lobe is to the occipital lobe. The auditory cortex is located in the parietal lobe. Autopsy studies of Einstein's brain suggested that the size of the parietal lobe may be negatively correlated with mathematical and spatial intelligence. The different body parts are equally represented in the somatosensory cortex.
When a stroke damages a portion of Mrs. Schexnayder's auditory cortex, it destroys cells in the temporal lobe. Evolutionarily, the cortex is the oldest part of the brain. People with epilepsy have sometimes had portions of their limbic system removed.
Subsequent memory problems may reflect damage to the thalamus. Information travels from our sensory receptors to the thalamus in the brain, which relays it to higher association areas. Anjelica is becoming increasingly hungry during a long late-afternoon class. Certain cells in her hypothalamus are probably becoming especially active. Heart rate and respiration are controlled by the medulla in the brainstem. An individual with damage to the cerebellum would have trouble regulating attention and arousal.
