neurons and the brain Flashcards
Nerve
Bundle of axons in the periphery
Tract
Bundle of axons in the central nervous system
Hindbrain consist of
Medulla:
– Pons:
– Cerebellum:
Medulla:
biological reflexe
Pons
Cross-over
Tectum
vision and hearing (feedback
Tegmentum includes
reticular formation
• substantia nigra
• ventral tegmental area (VTA)
what areas of the brain is dopamine made
substantia nigra
• ventral tegmental area (VTA)
reticular formation
helps how wake up from sleeping
HYPOTHALAMUS
thirst, hunger, arousal,
THALAMUS
sensorty imput control center
BASAL GANGLIA
muscle movents, and affects parkinsons disease
LIMBIC SYSTEM conssits of
amygdala, cingulate, septum, hippocampus)
hippocampus)
learning and menory
amygdala
memory emotion aggression
MEDIAL FOREBRAIN BUNDLE
experience pleasure
substnca nigera
Houses cell bodies of neurons that use dopamine damage to this causes parkinsons
OCCIPITAL LOBE
vison
PARIETAL LOBE
sensory assotiation
TEMPORAL LOBE
hearing and some memory
FRONTAL LOBE
reasoning speach
parts of the brain considered to be the brain stem
pons, medulla, cerebellum
parts of the brain considered to be the midbrain
tectum, tegmentum
What brain area is affected if drug kills you by depressing respiration
Medulla oblongata
