Mock exam! Flashcards
Ca2+
Ca2+ = release of neurotransmitters
K+ = resting membrane potential Na+ = Action potential Mg2+ = NMDA channel blocker
Four!
Your brain’s ventricular system is comprised of four ventricles as well as small structures that connect each ventricle called foramina.
The first and second ventricles are lateral ventricles. These C-shaped structures are located on each side of your cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of your brain.
The third ventricle is a narrow, funnel-shaped structure situated between your right and left thalamus, just above your brain stem.
The fourth ventricle is a diamond-shaped structure that runs alongside your brain stem. It has four openings through which cerebrospinal fluid drains into an area surrounding your brain (subarachnoid space) and the central canal of your spinal cord.
Lamina Terminalis

Genetic variability in enzyme and receptor expression influence the effect.

Orbito-frontal PFC
TSH
At the end of their development cycle, they form astrocytes.
Glutamate
Genetic variations of CR-receptor have been tied to stress vulnerability
