Ch - 3 (brain mind amd behaviour) Flashcards
What to Moler neurons do?
Send messages to the whole body
What do Sensory neurons do
Bring info from inside to outside
What do interneurons do?
Inspect store and receive info
Two things in peripheral nervous system
Somatic nervous system (external sensation like touch) and automatic systems ( internal systems like growling stomach)
What is endocrine system
Network of glands that release blood borne chemicals (hormones into your blood stream
Adrenal glands
Adrenaline and cortisol
Hypothalamus
Survival related problems
Occipital lobe
Vision
Temporal lobe
Auditory (language comprehension)
perception of objects
Parietal lobe
Touch
Frontal lobe
speech production
complex thinking
personality
Insular lobe
Inside body (heart racing, taste)
Hippocampus
Memories of time + place
Amygdala
Emotional associations
Basal ganglia
Planning and doing movement
Thalamus
Sensory pathways to + form cortex
Hypothalamus
Maintaining homeostasis
Tegmenum
Eye+ head orienting
Ventral tegumental
Edward pathway for sub cortical motor system
Substantia nigra
Regulates basal gangila
Pons
Breathing regulation
Medulla oblongata
Survival functions (heart rate)
Critical reflexes (coughing, gaging)
Reticular formation
Arousal +attentiveness (sleep and wakefulness)
Limbic system
Is bridge between newer mental function and older lower brain regions
has amygdala and hippocampus
Hippocampus
Makes memories of an events tie and place
Amygdala
Register emotional significance of events
Basal gangila
Starting and stoping movement
Thalamus
Relay info to and from cerbreal cortex
Cerebellum
Coordination precision, balance
Left hemisphere
Controls language
Right hemisphere
Facial recognition
ventromedial hypothalamus
lowers the set point (if damaged set point will be higher -> overeating
labteral hypothalamus
raises set point (if damaged -> undereating)
what part of the brain is involved in the four F’s (fighting, fleeing, feeding, fking)
hypothalamus
