Resumo de Recurso
Basis of Behaviour by Alex
Neuron structures & functions
Dendrites receive messages, Axons send messages, Myelin sheaths speed messages up, terminal buttons release neurotransmitters
resting potential , when a neutron is inactive
Action Potential, a brief shift in electrical charge
All or None Law, Neuron fires or doesn't no in between
Synapse
presynaptic neuron sends signal, postsynaptic neuron recieves signal
neurotransmitters tiny chemicals transfer info
Acetylcholine, attention voluntary muscles, arousal & memory
Antagonist: blocks neurotransmitter, Agonist: acts like neurotransmitter
Dopamine, voluntary muscle movement
Serotonin, associated with sleep & eating
Norepinephrine , mood & arousal
GABA (inhibitory) and Glutamate (excitatory), help regulate anxiety
Endorphins, like opiates are for pain relief & pleasure
Nerve Systems
Central nervous system
Brain & spinal cord, send & receive messages
peripheral nervous system, includes nerves that branch or spinal cord
Somatic nervous System, includes nerves around skeletal muscles to sensory receptors
afferent nerve fibres carry messages inward while efferent ones carry messages outward
autonomic nervous system , associated with fight or flight
Parasympathetic nervous system, rest & digest
Brain tests & research methods
electroencephalo-graph (EEG), monitors electrical activity with electrodes
Also important for researching sleep
Lesioning , refers to destroying a piece of the brain
Electrical Stimulation of the Brain, sends electrical signals to stimulate the brain used in surgery
. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, enhance or depress brain activity creating virtual lesions
Brain-Imaging
CT scan (computerized tomography, uses x-rays to study structures of the brain
PET scan (positron emission tomography) , used to map brain activity with radioactive chemicals
MRI scans (magnetic resonance imaging), make a 3 demential picture using radio waves
fMRI (functional MRI), better MRI includes blood & oxygen flow
Hindbrain
medulla, auto responses like breathing & reflects
cerebellum, coordination , movement
Pons, sleep & arousal
mid brain
sensory processes & dopamine pathways
forebrain, limbic system
thalamus , sensory
hippocampus, memory
amygdala, fear responses
hypothalamus , pleasure centre
Cerebrum, for cognitive thinking , remembering & learning
Endocrine system
controlled by the nervous system via pituitary gland to release hormones for long lasting effects
Genetics
Behavioural genetics , based on behaviours of organisms not traits
Genes contain DNA to pass traits
there are dominate & recessive genes (dominate always win)
Genotype , persons genetic makeup
Molecular scientists do genetic mapping to see where specific genes are
