Neuro Flashcards
Cells that form the neurone’s “cord”
Schwann Cell
Center of the neurone
Nucleus
Ends surrounding the neurone cell
Dendrites
Protein surrounding Schwann cells
Myelin
Intersection between Schwann cells
Node of Ranvier
Long “cord” part of the neurone
Axon
End of the axon
Axon terminal
Neurotransmitters are released when neurones commit what action?
Firing / synaptic vesicles
Neurotransmitter for movement, learning&memory, sleep
Acetycholine (ACH)
Neurotransmitter in charge of bodily and psychological arousal/alertness
Norepinephrine (NE)
Neurotransmitter in charge of learning, attention, movement, is central in schizophrenia, decreases in Parkinson’s disease, higher cognitive function
Dopamine (DA)
Neurotransmitter that affects mood, sleep and anxiety
Seratonin (5HT)
Neurotransmitter that controls the pain center and is targeted when doing acupuncture
Endorphins
Excitatory neurotransmitter
Glutamate (GLU)
Inhibitory neurotransmitter
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABBA)
4 descriptive research methods
- Natural observation
- Laboratory observation
- Case study
- Survey
Explain experimental research method
Testing the effect of IV on DV
Why can experimental research method give wrong results?
- selection and experimental bias
* placebo effect
Explain correlational research method
Studies the strength of bonds in a relationship and associations
