Parts of the neuron
-
Efferent/afferent neurons
-
the neral impluse...resting potential, action
potential, depolarization, hyperpolarization, refractory period
-
glial cells
-
myelin
-
neurotransmitters (Acetycholine, norepinephrine,
dopamine, serotonin, GABA, substance P, glutanate, endorphine)
-
presynaptic cell, postsynaptic cell
-
reuptake
-
receptors
-
postsynaptic potential
-
all-or-none principle
-
placebo effect
-
Organization of the Nervous System
-
Peripheral nervous system (soati/automatic;
sympathetic, parasympathetic)
-
Central nervous system (spinal cord/brain)
-
Brain images (CT, PET, MRI, EEG)
-
What is the oldest part of the brain?
-
Know research methods on the brain
-
Hindbrian: medulla, pons, reticular formation
(RAS), locus coeruleus, cerebellum
-
Midbrain: thalmus, hypothalamus, suprachiasmatic
nuclei, cerebrum, amygdala, hippocampus, limbic system, cerebral cortex
-
Cerebral Cortex - hemispheres: somatosensory,
cortex, Broca's area, Wernice's area, Association Cortex
-
