Behavioral Neuroscience Review Exam 1 Flashcards
eyes are on the ___ part of head
rostral/anterior
drug that blocks ligand binding to receptor
antagonist
dendrites that reach above the soma
apical
two things related to neurotransmitter levels that may cause a seizure
too much glutamate
too little GABA
part of spinal cord that may be damaged if i can feel pain in both legs, but only move my left leg
right ventral root horn/nerve
energy source for sodium-potassium pump
ATP
differences between IPSPs and EPSPs
excitatory- cations, depolarizing
inhibitory- anions, hyperpolarizing
-70mV
resting membrane potential
neurons in C.elegans nervous system
302 neurons
two brain regions that make dopamine
ventral tegmental area
substantia nigra
needed to activate an AMPA receptor
glutamate
two components of folds in the cerebral cortex
sulci and gyrus
faster form of action potential propagation
passive propagation
role of norepinephrine in PNS
sympathetic nervous system
fight or flight
subtype of neuron that processes sensory information
interneuron
lobe that contains primary somatosensory cortex
parietal lobe
-40mV to -55mV
threshold potential
muscle weakness caused by what toxin
exocytosis/vesicle fusion
two cells that secrete myelin
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
nervous system responsible for vision (not vision)
somatic nervous system
part of action potential when voltage-gated potassium channels are open
repolarization period/hyperpolarization
PSPs from different dendrites processed by what body
integration
conduction zone of a neuron
axon
proteins that bring the vesicle closer to the membrane
SNARE proteins
3 ionotropic glutamate receptors
AMPA, NMDA, kainate
