Q

reticulatar formation

A

a diffuse network of nerve pathways in the brainstem connecting the spinal cord, cerebrum, and cerebellum, and mediating the overall level of consciousness.

25
hypothalamus sends messages to..
pituitary
26
hypothalamus does what to hearing / seeing
enhances it
27
where vision is processed
lateral geniculate nucleus
28
limbic system allows for..
shortcuts for intuitive responses
29
what parts of the forebrain supports emotions, learning and movement?
limbic system and basal ganglia
30
what does basal ganglia mean
bottom and clump of cell bodies
31
gyrus/gyri means..
bump
32
sulcus/sulci means...
crack
33
longitudinal fissure
separates left and right parts of the brain
34
part of brain with internal map
parietal lobe
35
contact mediated attraction/contact mediated repulsion
how cells move toward/ move away from certain things
36
whats the first stage of wiring the brain
generation of neurons from the neural tube
37
steps of wiring the brain
neurogenesis migration differentiation
38
what trimester does neurogenesis occur
first trimester
39
what trimester does cell differentiation happen
second
40
what trimester does neuronal maturation happen
third
41
why is there so much neurogenesis happen in first trimester
an increase in human growth factor
42
stages of cell types/maturation
stem progenitor blast specialized
43
two types of blast cells
neural and glial
44
arboration
when neurons are trying to connect to ll cells (arborize-uncontrolled growth)
45
what predisposes cells to migrate to certain cortical locations
subvascular zone
46
what distinctly differentiates the cortex's cellular makeup?
organized into layers and grows off of subvacular zone
47
what acts like a scaffold for new neurons
glial
48
ventricles are what part of the brain?
the empty spaces
49
what happens during further differentiation
when cells reach their destination they go from precursor to neuron they extend their axons to find appropriate target
50
what begins differentiation
neurites sprouting off cell body
51
when is the neurons fate determined
before migration
52
what does architecture depend on
intercellular signals
53
optic chiasm
where neurons cross left and right eyes
54
steps of making connections
pathway selection target selection address selection
55
axons and dendritic process appear_____
similar. they are both called neurites in cell differentiation
56
what is the growing tip called
growth cone
57
what did hubel and wiesel work on (and got nobel prize)
ocular dominance (whether neurons go to contralateral vs ipsilateral) it showed how cats only respond to certain angels/placements depending on what they were exposed to during the critical period
58
od
right eye
59
os
left eye
60
when do we become accustomed to new angles
critical period/critical wiring
61
motor visual recalibrations
adjusting speed of walking to make vision go at certain speed
62
synapse formation in cna steps
insert pic here
63
part of brain when you make analogies
temporal parietal junction
64
booba vs keke is based off of..
acceleration in TPJ
65
basis of synesthesia is located in..
temporal partiaa junction
66
steps of brain plasticy
arborization pruning (neurons that fire together wire together)
67
what parts of the brain myelinate last
frontal | parietal
68
Basic organization plan of CNS of call mammals
``` Telencephalon Diencephalon (thalamus) Midbrain Hindbrain Spinal cord ```
