| 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 |
