Neurophysiology Flashcards
Acetyl Coa + choline -> choline acetyltransfetase by what enzyme
acetylcholinesterase
Neurotransmitter deficient in Alzheimer’s disease
Acetylcholine
Limbic System: Produces mainly oxytocin for milk secretion
Paraventricular nuclei `
*para sa boobs
Limbic System: Produces mainly vasopressin
Supraoptic nuclei
Limbic System: satiety center
ventromedial nuclei
Limbic System: hunger center
Lateral nuclei
*Lamon
Limbic System: sweating(heat release)
Anterior Hypothalamus
*fan
Limbic System: Shivering (heat conservation)
Posterior Hypothalamus
*coat
Limbic System: Reward Center
Medial Forebrain Bundle
Limbic System: Punishment Center
Central Gray Area around Aqueduct of Sylvius
*Mr. Gray
Limbic System: Social Inhibition
Amygdala
Site of lesion in Retrograde Amnesia; plays a role in searching the memory storehouses
Thalamus
Important output pathway from reward and punishment centers of the brain; Anterograde Amnesia
Hippocampus
Brain: Vasomotor Center, Respiratory center, swallowing, coughing and vomiting centers
Medulla
Brain: micturition center, pneumotaxic and apneustic center
Pons
Brain: Relay center for almost all sensations
Thalamus
Brain: Motor, Personality, Calculation and Judgement
Frontal Lobe
Brain: Somatosensory Cortex
Parietal Lobe
Brain: Vision
Occipital Lobe
Brain: Hearing, Vestibular, Processing, recognition of faces, optic pathway
temporal lobe
Association area for behavior, Emotions and motivation
Limbic Association Area
Association area for elaboration of thoughts and planning of complex motor movements
Prefrontal Association Areas
hyperphagia, hypersexuality, hyperorality, visual agnosia and docility induced by Temporal Lobectomy which damages the amydala
Kluver-Bucy Syndrome
