Q

Types of Glia Cells

Astrocytes

A

Astrocytes provide structural support for neurons, regulate extracellular ions and neurotransmitters, and induce the formation of a blood-brain barrier that regulates the chemical environment of the CNS

biological clock

30
Q

Cerebral Hemispheres

A

The cerebrum has right and left cerebral hemispheres

31
Q

Corpus Callosum

A

A thilck band of of axons called the corps callosum provides communication between the right and left cerebral cortices

Cognition

A

Cognition is the …

33
Q

Lobes

A
  • frontal
  • temporal
  • occipital
  • parietal
34
Q

Lateralization

A

The differences in hemisphere function are called lateralization.

Lateralization is linked to handedness (left vs right handed)

35
Q

Limbic System

A

Emotions are generated and experienced by the limbic system

36
Q

Limbic System Structures

A
  • brainstem
    • amygdala
  • hippocampus
  • thalamus
37
Q

Amygdala

A

The amygdala is located in the temporal lobe and helps store an emotional experience as an emotional memory.

38
Q

Neural Plasticity

A

Neural plasticity describes the ability of the nervous system to be modified after birth

39
Q

Short-term Memory

A

Short-term memory is accessed via the hippocampus

40
Q

Long-term Memory

A

The hippocampus also plays a role in forming long-term memory, which is stored in the cerebral cortex

41
Q

Alzheimer’s Disease

A
  • Mental Deterioriation
  • Caused by the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in the brain
