Question
Answer
four lobes of the brain   parietal lobe frontal lobe temporal lobe occipital lobe  
🗑
frontal lobe   front lobe motor cortex broca's area (LEFT ONLY)  
🗑
motor cortex   in frontal lobe planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements  
🗑
broca's area   LEFT SIDE ONLY muscles involved in producing speech  
🗑
parietal lobe   somatosensory cortex  
🗑
somatosensory cortex   skin senses (skin, pain, etc)  
🗑
occipital lobe   visual cortex  
🗑
visual cortex   what we see  
🗑
temporal lobe   auditory cortex wernicke's area (LEFT SIDE ONLY)  
🗑
auditory cortex   what we hear understanding second language  
🗑
wernicke's area   LEFT SIDE ONLY comprehension  
🗑
corpus callosum   makes the brain act as a whole  
🗑
split brain research   cutting the corpus callosum and seeing how two brains interact  
🗑
twin studies   identical twins- same genes not same amount of copies fraternal twins- same womb but genetically different  
🗑
limbic system   midbrain amygdala hypothalamus hippocampus  
🗑
amygdala   midbrain (limbic system) hottest aggressions and biggest fears  
🗑
hypothalamus   midbrain (limbic system) body maintenance (hunger, thirst, heat, etc)  
🗑
hippocampus   midbrain(limbic system) conscious memories  
🗑
nervous system   CNS PNS Brain Spinal Cord somatic autonomic sympathetic parapsympathetic  
🗑
cns   decision maker  
🗑
pns   gathers and transmits the decisions  
🗑
somatic   voluntary descions  
🗑
autonomic   involuntary descions  
🗑
sympathetic   stress response center  
🗑
parasympathetic   balances body out after stress response  
🗑
ssri   selective class of drugs to treat depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and other psychological disorders  
🗑
reuptake   process when neurotransmitters are shot from synapse back up into terminal buttons  
🗑
acetylcholine   forms new memories low levels = alzhiemers  
🗑
noraphinphrine   stress response high levels- heart rate increase  
🗑
dopamine   pleasure and reward response too much = schizophrencics too little = parkinsons  
🗑
seratonin   too little = depression  
🗑
endorphins   elevates mood and decreases pain too much = (opioids) addiction  
🗑
left brain functions   broca's area wernicke's area logic, facts, details, patterns, reality based, words and lang  
🗑
right brain functions   feeling, imagination, present and future, philosophy and religion, spatial perception, fantasy based  
🗑
sensory neurons   detect physical and chemical changes  
🗑
motor neurons   outgoing messages to the muscles  
🗑
interneurons   intervene between sensory and muscle neurons reflexes  
🗑
thalamus   hindbrain relay center all senses relay through thalamus besides smell  
🗑
mri   use magnetic field to measure density and location of brain material  
🗑
eeg   look at brain waves in different stages on conscious  
🗑
cat/ct   computerized axial technology  
🗑
x-ray   focuses on structure of brain  
🗑
pet   what areas of brain are most active during a task  
🗑
fmri   brain structure and blood flow ties structure to brain activity during a specific task  
🗑
dollar drop demonstration   I drop the dollar myself- faster brain initiating drop and catch messages and i know when to put out those messages Someone else drops dollar-takes more time for the message to go through my eyes, to my CNS, to my motor cortex, then finally to my hand  
🗑
plasticity   if one area of brain is damaged other areas will connect neurons to compensate for damaged area - the younger you are the more plastic your brain is  
🗑


   

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.
