| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Principal Investigator? | Lead researcher; ensure integrity of research |
| Lab Manager | Oversees lab and keeps it operating |
| Lab Technician | Do the hands-on lab work |
| Postdoctural students | PhD students continuing their research |
| Voluntary Actions | -Performed by choice -Controlled by motor cortex |
| Involuntary Actions | -Performed by relfex -Controlled by hind-brain and midbrain |
| CNS | Brain and spinal cord |
| PNS | Nerves |
| Frontal Lobe | -Smell -Reasoning -Problem Solving -Movement -Memory |
| Parietal Lobe | -Bodily Sensations |
| Temporal Lobe | -Speech production -Hearing -Language understanding |
| Occipital Lobe | -Sight |
| Cerebellum | -Balance -Muscle Coordination -Smallest part of brain |
| Cerebrum | Largest part of brain |
| Brain stem | -Breathing -Blood pressure regulation |
| Hypothalamus | -Sleeping/Waking -Thirst/hunger -Stress |
| Glial Cells | Cells that support neurons |
| Interneurons | Carry messages between motor and sensory neurons |
| Action potential | Sequence of change in voltage across the membrane |
| Vesicles | Envelope type structure that holds gas/fluids |
| Receptors | End of neuron that receives stimulation |
| Acetylcholine | -Involved in muscle contraction, learning, and memory -Positive Effect on Behavior: enhanced cognition -Also associated with attention and waking up |
| Dopamine | -Plays a role in pleasure, motivation, mood, attention, movement, and memory -Positive Effect on Behavior: suppresses overeating -People repeat actions that lead to dopamine releases |
| Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) | -Primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of CNS -Essential for signal regulation and normal brain development -Positive Effect on Behavior: decreased anxiety and tension -Also contributes to motor control and vision |
| Glutamate | -Primary excitatory transmitter in the brain -Present in 90% of all brain synapses -Positive Effect on Behavior: enhanced memory and improved learning -Regulates development and creation of nerve contacts |
| Epinephrine & Norepinephrine | -Excitatory transmitter involved in fight-or-flight response -Positive Effect on Behavior: increased attention -Contracts blood vessels to increase blood flow |
| Serotonin | -Involved in regulation of mood and asleep -Affected by exercise and light exposure -Aids in digestion |
| Agonist | Substance that initiates a response when it is combined with a receptor |
| Antagonist | Restricts activity of neurotransmitters |
| Inverse Agonist | Compound that will increase the amount of receptors |
| Reuptake inhibitor | reuptake the excess neurotransmitters from the synapse |
