Biology and Behavior Flashcards
genome
complete set of genes
gene synthesis
how dna is produced
genotype
genetic material
phenotype
how the gene is expressed
occipital lobe
visual processing
parietal lobe
spatial processing, visual motor integration
temporal lobe
memory, emotion, language
frontal lobe
executive functioning, planning, organizing, inhibition
neurogenesis
neurons proliferate through cell division
starts 42 days after conception
spinal formations
formation of dendrites on the neurons
myelination
glial cells form myelin around the axon
synaptogenesis
how neurons form synapses with other neurons
synapse elimination
connections that are not engages will be eliminated
use it or lose it
Electrophysiological recordings
electroencephalographic EEG
Event related potentials ERPs
Functional magnetic resonance imaging
diffusion tensor image DTI
Resting state fMRI
