behavioral

Question 1

3 types of neurons

Answer 1

efferent = motor
afferent = sensory (carry impulses away from sensors)
interneurons

Question 2

what is the parasympathetic nervous system

Answer 2

rest and digest (pussy ass bitch)

Question 3

what is the sympathetic nervous system

Answer 3

fight or flight (superman) = sex

Question 4

3 organizations of the brain:
hind
mid
fore

Answer 4

hind = cerebellum, medulla, reticular
balance, equilibrium, movement, autonomic functions

mid = inferior superior coliculi
motor functions and responses

fore = (hypo)thalamus, basal ganglia, limbic system, cortex
thinking, perceiving, evaluating

Question 5

parts of forebrain and functions:
thalamus
hypothalamus
basal ganglia
limbic system
cerebral cortex

Answer 5

thalamus = sensory info relay station
hypothalmus = homeostasis, pituitary gland functions
basal ganglia = smooth movement and stability
limbic system = septal nuclei (pleasure), emotion (amygdala) and memory
cortex = next card

Question 6

4 lobes of cerebral cortex
frontal
parietal 
occipital 
temporal

Answer 6

frontal = executive function, impulses, long term (prefrontal), motor (primary motor), speech (broca)

parietal = touch sensations (somatosensory), spatial awareness, orientation, manipulation

occipital = eyes

temporal = sound (auditory cortex), speech understanding (wernicke), emotion (limbic system)

Question 7

acetylcholine

Answer 7

voluntary muscles movement, parasympathetic nervous system, attention, alertness

Question 8

(nor)ephinepherine

Answer 8

sympathetic system, wakefullness, alertness

Question 9

dopamine

Answer 9

smooth movements and posture

Question 10

serotonin

Answer 10

mood, sleep, eating, dreaming

Question 11

GABA and glycine

Answer 11

brain stabilization

Question 12

glutamate

Answer 12

brain excitation

Question 13

endorphins

Answer 13

natural pain killers

Question 14

sensation vs perception

Answer 14

sensation is the conversion of physical stimulus into signals while perception translates and makes sense of those signals

Question 15

webers law

Answer 15

the larger the stimulus, the larger the just noticeable difference of a new one has to be

Question 16

adaptation

Answer 16

decrease in response to stimulus over time

Question 17

the visual pathway

Answer 17

retina
optic nerve
optic chiasm
optic tracts
LGN of thalamus
visual radiation 
visual cortex

Question 18

auditory pathway

Answer 18

cochlea
vestibulocochlear nerve
MGN of thalamus
audiotry cortex

Question 19

Bottom up vs top down vs gestalt principles of image processing

Answer 19

1) data: recognize the actual features, slower but smarter
2) concepts: recognize patterns, faster but wrong
3) infer missing parts

Question 20

(dis)Habituation

Answer 20

The process of becoming used to a stimulus

Second stimulus intervenes causing resensitation to old stimulus

Question 21

Observational learning

Answer 21

Learning behavior by watching others

Question 22

Associative learning

Answer 22

Pairing together stimuli and responses or behaviors to consequences

Question 23

Classical conditioning

Answer 23

UCS (food) leads to UCR (drool)
NS (bell) leads to no drool
NS right after UCS leads to CS leads to UCR
UCS , NS, CS, UCR

Question 24

Operant conditioning

Answer 24

Frequency of behavior is increased with reinforcement and decreased with punishment
Positive adds something and negative takes away something
PR = add good
PP = add bad
NR = take away something bad
NP = take away something good

Question 25

Stages of consciousness and EEG waves and features 
Awake 
1
2
3/4
REM

Answer 25

Awake: beta alpha, ur awake duh 
1: theta = light sleep 
2: theta = sleep spindles, k complexes
3-4: delta = slow wave sleep and dreams
REM: mostly beta = body is active but youre dreaming

Question 26

habituation

Answer 26

process of becoming used to a stimulus
