Question | Answer |
---|---|
3 types of neurons | sensory, motorm inter |
3 parts of the neuron | denarites, cell body, axon |
CNS | Central Nervous System, Brain and Spinal Chord |
3 types of cells | receptors, effectors, neurons |
Cognitive Psycology | Gerorge Kelly, Aron Beck, Albert Ellis 1950-1980 humans are rational reasoning machinesirrational beliefs lead to negative emotions |
Psychonanalysis | 1890-1940 Sigmund Freudtheory of human nature humans are irrational conscious minds is pushed around by the unconcious |
Behavoirism | 1920-1950 John Watson, Pablov, BF Skinnerstudy of behavior focuses on the outside, things you caan see with your eyes |
Functionalism | 1890-1920 William JamesNatural selection emotions and behaviors exist because they help up survive |
Structuralism | 1879 william Wundt and Robert Sternbergpsyc should be based on anatomy and physiologystudy of conscious reaction time experiments |
PNS is made up of... | Somatic and Autonomic |
Somatic system | under your control |
autonamic | involuntary |
autonomic is made up of | symathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (relaxation response) |
Internal charge of a resting neuron | -70 MV |
Charge of neuron during activation | -70 to -55 to +40 |
wake of depolarization | speed = 2-900mph, -70MV restored |
Neuro transmitters | float across the synaptic gap. chemical messengeres that shuttle info neuron to neuron |
axon terminal | where the neutron release is stimulated, they shuttle across the synapse to the dendrite |
ACH | exitatory, too little = alzhemimer's disease |
Norepinephrine | excitatroy, middle and lower brain, cocane prevents re-uptake |
cocane prevent reuptake | norepinephrine |
serotonin | exitatory, lower part of brain, LSD blocks it, MDMA blacks reabsoption |
MDMA bloack reabsorbtion | serotinin |
dopamine | front and lower brain, destrcution of producing areas may lead to parkinson's disease, excess= schizophrenia |
excess = schizophrenadestruction of producing areas may lead to parkinson's disease | dopamine |
GABA | INHIBITORY disruption = Huntington's chorea |
endorphins | midlower region of brain, 60-80% as powerful as morphine, *runner's high, placebo, physiological grace periods |
3 biological theories of depression | too little norepinephrine, too little serotonin, too little nor, ser, and dopamine |
two types of old antidepressants | 1) tricylics (increases NOR)2) MAO inhibitors |
Holmes + Rahe | Major life events = illness |
SSRI stands for... | Selective, Serotonin, Re-uptake, Inhibitors |
example of SSRI | Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvax, Celexa |
Mood stabilizers | Lithium (increases gaba), Neurontin (Gaba like substance) |
Anxiolytics | anti anxiety |
Buspar + Ativan | Anxiolytics |
Antipsychotics | Haldol + Thorazine, Risperal, Abilify |
Hans Seyle | "General Adaptation Syndrome" |
Robert Ader | did study w/ rats and tumors. proved immune system could be trained |
psychoneuroimmunology | immune system can be trained |
