sensory information except for smell

associating emotions with experiences - fight or flight

formation of new memories (going to sombr)

regulation of body functions (sleep/temp) and motivation (hungry/thirst/sexy time)

attention, self-control, social processes (interactions)

Primary Auditory Cortex -

hearing, volume/direction of a sound

Primary Visual Cortex -

vision, orientation, size, and color

Primary Motor Cortex-

motor functions, left side of the body

Pain reduction and reward/runner’s high

motor controls over muscles, attention, memory, learning, and understanding when to sleep and rest your body.

enhanced action potentials, learning and memory

emotional states/impulse control - dreaming/relaxation

reward/motivation/motor control over voluntary movements

an lead to Parkinson’s disease

Alertness and reaction time, helps you understand what's going on in chaotic situations

leads to anxiety, food cravings, aggressive behavior, When neurotransmitters miss the synapse, it will cause clinical depression

overexcitement in the brain, can destroy the neurons

short, branch-like extensions of the cell body, receive signals from the neuron’s cell body

collects the information from neurons, electrical currents transmit to the axon

long narrow part of the cell body that connects one neuron to another, releases to the terminal buttons

release chemical signals from the neuron into the synapse

space where the neurons communicates through neurotransmitters - like a cliff

individual cell in the nervous system

Neurotransmitters- chemical substances that carry one neuron to another, cycle is like a highway

chemical substances that carry one neuron to another, cycle is like a highway

frontal lobe, parietal lobe, cerebellum, brain stem, temporal lobe, occipital lobe

PSYCH TEST

Term	Definition
Thalamus-	sensory information except for smell
Amygdala-	associating emotions with experiences - fight or flight
Hippocampus-	formation of new memories (going to sombr)
Hypothalamus-	regulation of body functions (sleep/temp) and motivation (hungry/thirst/sexy time)
Prefrontal Cortex -	attention, self-control, social processes (interactions)
(Facial Recognition--really part of visual) -	Fusiform Face Area
Cerebral Cortex -	thoughts, planning
Primary Auditory Cortex -	hearing, volume/direction of a sound
Primary Visual Cortex -	vision, orientation, size, and color
Primary Somatosensory Cortex-	touch, right side of the body
Primary Motor Cortex-	motor functions, left side of the body
Endorphins-	Pain reduction and reward/runner’s high
Acetylcholine-	motor controls over muscles, attention, memory, learning, and understanding when to sleep and rest your body.
Glutamate -	enhanced action potentials, learning and memory
Serotonin-	emotional states/impulse control - dreaming/relaxation
Dopamine -	reward/motivation/motor control over voluntary movements
Lack of Dopamine - c	an lead to Parkinson’s disease
Norepinephrine-	Alertness and reaction time, helps you understand what's going on in chaotic situations
Lack of Serotonin -	leads to anxiety, food cravings, aggressive behavior, When neurotransmitters miss the synapse, it will cause clinical depression
Excessive GABA -	overexcitement in the brain, can destroy the neurons
Lack of GABA -	can lead to epileptic seizures
GABA -	anxiety reduction
Dendrites-	short, branch-like extensions of the cell body, receive signals from the neuron’s cell body
cell body -	collects the information from neurons, electrical currents transmit to the axon
Axon-	long narrow part of the cell body that connects one neuron to another, releases to the terminal buttons
terminal buttons-	release chemical signals from the neuron into the synapse
Synapse-	space where the neurons communicates through neurotransmitters - like a cliff
Neurons-	individual cell in the nervous system
Neurotransmitters- chemical substances that carry one neuron to another, cycle is like a highway	chemical substances that carry one neuron to another, cycle is like a highway
myelin sheath-	protects the axon
Peripheral nervous system-	skin, muscles, jaw
Nervous system -	brain and spinal cord
6 lobes of the brain	frontal lobe, parietal lobe, cerebellum, brain stem, temporal lobe, occipital lobe
