The Brain: Commander Of Behavior Flashcards
What is the parietal lobe associated with?
- Movement
- recognizing
- perception of stimuli
What is the pre frontal lobe in charge of
- Reasoning
- emotions
- planning
- problem solving
- movement
- parts of speech
What’s associated with the occipital lobe?
- This processes what you see
* visual processing
What’s associated with your temporal lobe?
- Perception
- recognition of auditory stimuli
- memory
- speech
What does the hippocampus do?
This involves your memory
What does the thalamus do?
Serves as a relay station for almost all information coming in the brain
What does the hypothalamus do?
This this regulates your system
What does that hindbrain consist of and what does it do?
It consists of two parts the Medulla and the ponds.
Which helps control respiration and heart rhythm
What does the cerebellum do?
This helps you control your movement and helps with your timing (balance)
What makes you smarter?
The number of connections in your brain(neurons)
{Up to 10,000 connections}
How do neurons communicate between each other?
Synapse
When would someone have Multiple scleros?
- Deterioration of the Mylan sheet.
* This is the insulin of an axon which leads to weak messages between neurons
How would you get Alzheimer’s disease?
Plaques in the brain.
Deaden neurons signals or forms of inactive neurons
{Neurons send each other messages and with plaques it tangles them. Thus not being able to access some memories. The plaques block it}
What would be some healthy nutrients for your brain?
- Folic acid
- Fish omega 3
- Fatty acids
- Nuts
- Things with DHA
- Exercise which increases circulation {Chickpeas are better than spinach}
Why do we need placebo when we test drugs or others?
To test if the drug works.
Some can pretend example people even develop rashes and nothing was in the air.
{Sometimes when you think something is true you will believe it and see/feel physical results}
What’s bad about pain other than it hurts?
Pain can weaken the immune system
Despite the pain what good does it serve to our biological function?
It protects us from several injuries (example if you know cutting yourself would hurt ,you won’t cut yourself unless your emo or you have intentions of cutting yourself)
What does morphine alone do?
It’s bad for your immune system
Morphine with pain does what for you?
Release pain and good for your immune system because it doesn’t weekend your immune system it strengthens your immune system
What do face recognition neurons do?
They are neurons in our brain that recognizes a face no matter how it looks.
action potential is viewed in response to images and can find which ones fires the most
What is the story of Phineas Gage?
A pole went through his prefrontal cortex (frontal lobe).
He now has short tempered because of the reasoning part of his brain has been destroyed due to the pole.
This is how they found out that there are different functions to the brain.
