Describe the Thalamus: | a major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. Contains many specialized nuclei. |
Describe the prefrontal area: | This brain area associates experiences necessary for the production of abstract ideas, judgment, and conscience. |
Describe the Primary Motor Cortex: | The axons from this area form the major pyramidal tracts. |
Describe the Hypothalamus: | This area is the main visceral control center of the body. |
Stage 1 of sleep: | Eyes closed and relaxation begins, very easy to awaken; EEG shows ALPHA waves; may even deny being asleep. |
Stage 2 of sleep: | EEG pattern is irregular with sleep spindles. arousal is more difficult. |
Stage 3 of sleep: | Sleep deepens; theta and delta waves appear; Vital signs decline; dreaming is common. |
Stage 4 of sleep: | EEG pattern is dominated by delta waves; skeletal muscles are relaxed; the stage when vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature) reach their lowest normal levels. |
REM sleep: | Indicated by movement of the eyes under the lids; dreaming occurs. Begins about 90 minutes after the onset of sleep. Is necessary for emotional health; may be neural "debugging" |
