higher thinking Flashcards
what are higher brain functions
planning, cognitive and higher thinking
basal ganglion function
coordination and motor function
eg of cognitive thinking
learning, memory, speech and language, consciousness, judgment, planning, decision making
what level is higher thinking
molecular/cellular level
what dictate the brain function
synapse function
axodendrite synapses are
connected at the dendrites
axosomatic synapses are
connected at the soma
axoaxonic synapses are
connected at the terminal
whats modulationxxx
different chemical diffuse differently
glutamate-utlizing synapse are
activating
gaba-utilizing synapse are
inhibiting
glutamate receptors are
major neuron receptors in the brain
types of glutamate receptor are
GPCR, IGR
AMPA and NMDA works together?
yes
response to high freq :
facilitation, potentiation and depression
response to slow freq:
depression
hippocampus is the site for
learning
2 types of LTM
non-declarative and declarative
what is nondeclarative
personal skills, and habits and classical conditioning
what is declarative
facts and events
Procedural memory is?
Motor skill
Language processing consists of?
Sensory and motor
Language processing area consists of
Wernicke and Broca area
Wernicke consists of which pathway
Ventral, Dorsal and auditory
Broca pathway consists of
Dorsal P2 and ventral
Is different languages go through different localisation?
Yes
Broca function
Speech production
Wernicke function
Language interpretation
Broca aphasia is?
Can’t speak but understand
Wernicke aphasia (physical damage) is?
Can’t speak fluently but doesn’t make sense
example of thoughts disorder
schizophrenia
can we use ligth to directly activate neuron
yes
hippocampus 1st pathway
perforant pathway
hippocampus 2nd pathway
schaffer pathway
hippocampus 3rd pathway
mossy fibre pathway
dentate gyrus function
site of neurogenesis
