Biology Flashcards
Hippocampus
Is a limbic structure involved in memory and emotion. Damage to the hippocampus can result in memory problem. It help go from Short term to long term memory
Circadian click
Is the superchiasmic nucleus
Dopamine Is the causative agent for
Schizophrenia
Nor epinephrine and serotonin are implicated in
Depression and eating disorders. They are significantly involved in regulating appetite mood and sleep.
Low levels of gaba are linked to
Anxiety and display
Large amounts of Dopamine implicated im
Drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine
Idiopathic
A disease of unknown origin
Iatrogenic
Refers to illness or complications
Idiosyncratic
Eccentric
Nocebo
Something that should be ineffective but causes symptoms of bad health.. a bad effect cause by suggestion Oort belief that something is harmful
Gaba
Low levels of gaba have been found in purple with anxiety disorders
Parkinson’s disease
Due to loss of cells in the substantia negra
Basal ganglia
Include the substantia negra and the caudate nucleus. It is associated with the initiation of movement
In tourretes disorder the caudate nucleus appears anxiety and means more tics.
Akinesia
Difficulty initiating movement
Huntington disease
Results from de generation of the castrate nucleus
Part of the brain not developed at birth
Cortex
How to manage children’s tantrum
Through extinction
Partial complex seizures occur in which party of the brain
The temporal lobes
A state of wakefulness is prodominated by
Alpha waves
Withdrawal from this can cause hallucinations
Phenobarbital
Cerebral palsy
Caused by abnormal brain development that affects a child’s ability to control his or her muscles. It occurs before birth. At birth or after birth
Neurotransmitter associated with voluntary movement
Acetylcholine
Vision is to hearing as
Occipital lobe is to temporal lobe
Wernickes brocas and conduction aphasia all have
Impaired repetition of verbal tasks
For chronic pain
You can treat it with an antidepressant
Retroactive interference
When newly learned information interferes with the recall of previously learned information.
Proactive interference
Occurrs when previously learned material interferes with reveal of new material
Retrograde amnesia
Forgetting events prior to the accident
Antregrade amnesia
Refers to amnesia for memories after an accident
The prefrontal cortex
Is the foremost section of the frontal lobes and is known as the executive center of the brain
The temporal lobes
House the auditory cortex
The amygdala
Is the part of the limbic system involved in emotion. Particularly aggression
A traditional neuroleptic would treat
Poverty of speech
Thalamus
Sensory relay system except sme
Hypothalamus
Regulates sleep
Hippocampus
Memory
