Name the 9 Steps of the development of the nervous system:
- Neurulation
2.Neurogenesis
3.Cell migration/aggregation - Differentiation
- Dendritic/axonal growth
- Synaptogenesis:
7 .Synaptic pruning
8.Synapse rearrangement
9.Myelination
Define 1. Neurulation:
Prenatal state/Embryonic period.
- Till the 8 week
- Neurol plate gets devloped trough out thicking event of cells
- Trough out folding of the neurol plate forms the neuron groove develops (20 days)
- Trough out closed folding the neurol tube is devloped
- Neurol tube is the beginning of CNS
- > First brain tissue
Define 2. Neurogenesis:
Prenatal state
Means: production of new cells
- adult neurogenesis: creation of cells in adulthood
- Cell dviding = mitosis plays a big role
- Developing from neurol tube=
1. Telecephalon Fore
2. Diencephalon Fore
3. Mesencephalon Mid
4. Metencephalon Hind
5. Mylencephalon Hind (24 days) - During 4 week primary vesicles
1. Prosencephalon
2. Mesencephalon
3. Rhombencephalon
Define 3.Cell migration/aggregation:
Prenatal state
- cell migration: The movement of cells from site of origin to final regions
- supported by glial cells and adhesion molecule/proetein (CAM)
Define 4. Differentiation:
- The Transformation of first (precursor) cells into distinctive types of neurons and ganglia cells
- Express leads to diffrentiation beacuse it builds proteins which makes neurons individual
- local environment also influences nerve cell differentiation
- Is depending on destination in the body
Define: Cell cell interactions (part of differentitation)
- one cell affects the differention of other neighbor cells
- To devlop the perfect neuron for the region !
- and also becuaes then it is easier to help or replace a cell if once is hurt
Define: cell-autonomous (part of differentiation)
is the cell processing which is directed by the cell itself rather than being under the influence of other cells.
- opposite of cell interaction
Define: 5. Dendritic/axonl growth
- Postnatal stage
- Neurons form their axons and dendrites
- cones are growing of top of axon or dendrite
Define 6. Synaptogenesis:
- postanatl stage
- First connections trough out synaptic producion
Overproduction 50% - First sensory pathway develops then language then higher cognitive functions
- CAM chemicals guide the growth of synapse
What are CAM: Chemoattractons
chemicals which the synapse attracts
CAM chemorepellents
chemicals which not attracts the synapses
Define: Synaptic pruning (cell death) Why and what happens?
Loss of synapses
Why because of
1. compettition
2. elimination (to much growth) sculp break
3. Strengthening others synapses
- Release of calcium ions that cause the mitochondria inside the cell to release a protein called Dyablo which causes death
Define Synapse rearrangement: (What and why ):
- development of other Synapses
- why: to build a stronger relation in areas which are useful
- Developing new strong synpases by training ur brain trough out tasks (neurol activity)
Define 7. Myelination: (White matter)
Myelination has strong impact on behavior because it allows large networks of cells to communicate rapidly
- Jumps over mylein sheets
- Repeated wrapping of cytoplasm around Schwann on axon
What does Plasticity:
- If u train one part of yourn brain then it can dvelope more.
- not all brains have to be equal
Why do adolescents take differnt rsik in comparison to adults?
Adolescents take more risk decisions than adults even though they have the same basic reasoning and information processing skills
-Affective pathways (limbic system) develops ealry in adolsence (Sensation seeking)
Hot irrational
- Cognitive pathway (prefrontal coretx) late devlopemnt devlops later (self regulation)
Cold and rational
- Results; Due to diffrent devlopemntal stages the limbic system is stronger and conrols behavior
Methods for studying child development ?
- Interviews
- Naturalistic observation
- Structured observation
- MRI
- EEG
Name the strength and weaknesses of Interviews:
1.Structured interviews
- All participants are asked the same questions
2.Clinical interview
- Procedure in which questions are adjusted in accord with answer the interviewee provides.
Pro: Quick and a lot informations beacuse parents report the questionar
Con: Answers can be biased, memorries are often inaccurate (parents) mum wants to put the child in a goof light
- Also researcher bias on questions and interpretation
What is an naturalistic observation ?
Examination of ongoing behavior in an environment not controlled by the researcher.
Pro: Useful for describing behavior in everyday settings/ consequences in behavior
Con: Hard to know most influential aspects of situations (Cause and effect) and also the participants reactivity on observer is (bias)
- Little or no control of variables
