Fundamentals of Neurobiology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show change as a consequence of prior experience and nature of experience describes nature of change  
🗑
show -basis of brain function - creates and process info - number decrease with age  
🗑
show - there are a variety - the micro-environment conditions to facilitate neuron function  
🗑
show receiving  
🗑
efferent   show
🗑
show no mitosis. neurons are always in G0 except when dying which serves as memory function  
🗑
emergence   show
🗑
show brain and spinal cord. structures that reside within bone structure  
🗑
peripheral nervous system   show
🗑
show insulates axons to prevent loss of capacitance to external environment  
🗑
show cells that make myelin sheath in central nervous system. same type of cell as schwann  
🗑
schwann cells   show
🗑
show "hopping" of action potential  
🗑
show places without myelin sheath that create new action potential and invades next segment of myelin  
🗑
neurotransmitters   show
🗑
electrical synpase   show
🗑
show neurotransmitters are disassembled and cannot be reassembled as a form of inactivation  
🗑
reuptake   show
🗑
show neurotransmitters are transformed into inactive form which can be reactivated as a form of inactivation  
🗑
show neurotransmitters diffuse into specific space of extracellular fluid so that they can find receptors specifically within that specific region of extracellular space  
🗑
what is the function and location of cholinergic receptor neurotransmitters   show
🗑
show Function: dopamine- behavior, neuroepinephrine- arousal, sleep, wakefulness. Location: dopamine- basal ganglia, mesolembic dopamine syptea VTA, midbrain, neuroepinephrine- locus colruleus  
🗑
what is the function and location of serotinergic receptor neurotransmitters   show
🗑
show EPSP  
🗑
what is the function of GABAa and GABAc   show
🗑
what is the function and location of the diffuse neuromodulating system   show
🗑
anterior vs posterior   show
🗑
show top vs bottom  
🗑
medial vs lateral   show
🗑
show close vs. far away  
🗑
ipsaletal vs. contralateral   show

show cerebellum, cerebral, brain stem  
🗑
gray matter   show
🗑
show collection of cell bodies with exact boundaries  
🗑
show collection of cell bodies with no exact boundaries  
🗑
locus of gray matter   show
🗑
show collection of cell bodies outside of central nervous system in peripheral nervous system  
🗑
cortex of gray matter   show
🗑
white matter   show
🗑
fiber of white matter   show
🗑

🗑
show relays processes and segregates signals, sleep  
🗑
hypothalamus,   show
🗑
epithalamus   show
🗑
brain stem   show
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
