Mnemonics Flashcards
Afferent VS Efferent
Afferent neurons Ascend into the cord towards the brain, Efferent neurons Exit the cord on their way to the rest of the body.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Sympathetic: “Fight or fligh”
Parasympathetic: “Rest and digest”
functions of the hypothalamus, the four Fs
feeding, fighting, flighting and (sexual) fucntioning
lateral hypothalamus
when the Lateral Hypothalamus (LH) is removed, one Lacks Hunger
ventromedial hypothalamus
when the VentroMedial Hypothalamus is destroyed one is Vey Much Hungry
lobes of the brain: F-POT
Frontal
Pariental
Occipital
Temporal
distal =
proximal=
in the DISTance
in close PROXIMity
cones and rods
Cones are for Color vision and RODS function best in RODuced light
nasal visual field
If photons from an object would need to cross your nose to reach your eye, then the object is said to be in a nasal visual field for their eye.
nasal and temporal
For each eye, the temporal visual field stimulates the nasal retinal fibers. The nasal visual field stimulates the temporal retinal fibers.
magnocellular cells
Magnocellular cells specializing Motion detection.
LGN and MGN
The Lateral geniculate nucleus is for Light; The Medial geniculate nucleus is for Music.
variable ratio
VR Stands for Variable Ratio, but it can also stand for a Very Rapid and Very Resistant to extinction.
long term potentiation
The word potentiate means to increase the potency of strength of something long term. Potential can be thought of as the strengthening of a long duration haptic connection.
