  • when need PFC, psychosis due to prenatal stress starts to appear
85
Q

dopamine hypothesis

A
  • anti-psychotic drugs block dopamine
  • Parkinson’s is due to breakdown of dopaminergic cells
  • if you turn down dopamine, you get parkinson’s and you turn down psychotic symptoms
  • Maybe psychotic symptoms are excess of dopamine
86
Q

anti-psychotic drugs

A
  • haldol- dopamine antagonist that binds to dopamine receptors and doesn’t activate, but blocks
  • some people that take anti-psychotic drugs get Parkinson’s
87
Q

cocaine

  • amphtamine
  • dopamine agonist that turns up dopamine concentration
  • sz common in cocaine useres b/c sz characterized by excess of dopamine
88
Q

cerebro-vascular incident

A
  • stroke
  • caused by ischemia and hemorrhage
  • downstream neurons don’t get glucose and oxygen b/c of lack of blood
  • damage/dead downstream neurons
  • Na/K pump slowed down
89
Q

ischemia

A
  • blockage due to something in your blood vessel
90
Q

hemorrhage

A
  • hole in blood vessel
  • blood leaks out
91
Q

therapy for damaged neurons resulting from stroke

A
  • can’t do anything about the dead cells
  • is possible to reabilitate damaged cells
  • in damaged Na/K pump is slowed down
  • need to reabilitate penumbra cells before they become umbra cells
  • have to keep Na+ from building
  • have to stop glial cells
92
Q

Penumbra

A
  • damaged cells near dead cells
  • need to be reabilitated after stroke
93
Q

slow down of Na/K pump

A
  • result of stroke
  • not helped by glial cells
  • Na+ builds up inside cell, leading to over excitation and necrosis
  • penumbra cells -> umbra cells (dead)
94
Q

glial cells and stroke

A
  • release glutamate
  • glutamate is excitatory, so opens Na+ channels
  • not good since the Na/K pump is not working
  • Na+ builds up inside cell -> necrosis
95
Q

why can’t just depress penumbra cells with downer

A
  • only opens Cl- channels
  • doesn’t do anything about Na+
96
Q

hypothermia therapy penumbra cell

A
  • increased temp -> faster reaction
  • turn down brain temp -> slow glial cell release of glutamate -> not as much sodium build up -> ATP pump has time to catch up
  • have to be unconscious
  • lower brain temp reduces destruction of brain tissue following stroke
  • reduces excitement
  • can’t help necrotic cells
97
Q

diachisis

A
  • sudden loss of brain activity
  • stroke damage leads to less overall brain activity
  • immediate stimulant treatment is bad
  • heat and chemical stimulants (glutamate) are BAD for penumbra cells
98
Q

stimulant and stroke

A
  • bad immediately after stroke b/c causes abundance of Na, which cant be removed effectively by Na/K pump (slow)
  • best a few days after stroke
99
Q

what kind of stroke did Cleo suffer from

A
  • hemorrhage
100
Q

traditional first aid for stroke

A
  • place victim under a blanket and keep them warm
  • worst thing to do b/c heat speeds up brain reactions

  • long term memories
  • kinds that you can describe in words
  • memory of experiences and information
  • conscious
  • Ex: stating that someone is a drunk
114
Q

implicit memory

A
  • unconscious memory
  • previous experiences aid in performance of a task
  • conditioning memories (fear or sensorimotor)
  • skill memories
115
Q

epileptic focus

  • where/when seizure occurs
  • touch, smell, feeling, etc
116
Q

bilateral medial temporal lobectomy

A
  • H.M’s procedure for seizures

  • can make conditioning memories
  • appears he lost hippocampi memories
117
Q

long-term amnesia

A
  • H.M’s situation
  • can’t make new memories- episodic or semantic
  • new people, words, agining appearance, etc
118
Q

classical conditioning

A
  • Pavlov and dogs drooling (unconditioned response) when sees meat (unconditioned stimulus)
  • Bell (neutral stimulus) preceding meat causes drooling
  • dog associates bell with meat
  • bell alone -> drool (conditioned response): bell is no longer neutral b/c dog conditioned to stimulus
119
Q

fear conditioning

A
  • Edouard Claparede
  • patient shakes hands with doc every time he walks in b/c doesn’t remember him
  • one day doc walks in with pin in his hand
  • patient refuses to shake his hand next time
  • doc’s face now associated with pain
  • doc face is conditioned stimulus and fear is conditioned response
  • seems like she can make new memories if associated with fear (would’ve worked for H.M)
120
Q

pain

A
  • unconditioned stimulus
  • fear is the unconditioned response
121
Q

sensorimotor conditioning in H.M

A
  • tone -> puff -> blink
122
Q

eye doctor and conditioning

A
  • puff of air- unconditioned stimulus
  • blink- unconditioned response
  • tone -> puff -> blink
  • tone becomes conditioned stimulus and blink is conditioned response
123
Q

Brenda Miller

A
  • mirror drawing
  • showed H.M a star with a road around it
  • told H.M to take pen and follow the road w/o looking at the star (can only see star in mirror)
  • ability judged by # mistakes
  • begins poorly, but improves with practice
  • H.M can’t remember the experiences of practice, so can’t explain why he can do it
  • implicit memory of skill
124
Q

Morris water maze

A
  • island in pool but can’t see b/c water is murkey
  • uninjured rat can swim and find island and then find it quickly upon next trial
  • rat with hipocampal lesion cannot find island easily next time around
  • hippocampus plays a role in mapping/navigation
125
Q

London cabs

A
  • cab drivers have massive hippocampi
  • as driving experience increases there is a linear increase in hippocampus size

A
  • proves that he can learn a new skill
  • something he has never done before
  • shows that he has implicit in tact
134
Q

A
  • Skinner box for classical conditioning
  • warn rat with tone before zapping feet
  • after learning tone rat shows fear to hearing it
135
Q

Joseph LeDoux

A
  • studied conditioning in rats- looking for location of “fear” memory
  • cut out part of rat brain after fear conditioning it
  • decorticated, thalamotomized, and amygdalized
136
Q

hearing sense

A
  • ears -> thalamus -> auditory cortex
137
Q

decorticate out rat’s auditory cortex

A
  • LeDoux cut out auditory cortex
  • profoundly deaf rat
  • play tone
  • still get fear response
  • Interpretation: fear memory must not be in auditory cortex
138
Q

thalamotomized rat

A
  • LeDoux cuts out thalamus
  • play tone
  • fear response abolished
  • Interpretation: thalamus can’t store memories, so fear response stored in thalamus projection location (amygdala)
139
Q

amygdalized rat

A
  • not deaf
  • in tact thalamus and auditory cortex
  • plays tone
  • fear response abolished
  • Interpretation: amygdala stores fear memories
140
Q

two ways to amygdala

A
  • thalamus to amygdala (fast response- low road)
  • auditory cortex to amygdala (slow response- high road)
  • amygdala then instigates behaviors based on emotion (Ex: rat hunkering down in response to fear)
141
Q

why afraid when underwater

A
  • natural response is to clear airway
  • thats why you move frantically and breathe out
  • cortex knows you’re alright (slow road), but amygdala is quick to overreact
142
Q

overactive low road

A
  • panic
  • thalamus to amygdala
  • intuitive system
  • fast, but rough
143
Q

overactive high road

A
  • cortex to amygdala
  • “chocking”
  • overthinking
  • deliberative system
  • slow, but flexible
144
Q

intuitive system

A
  • thalamus to amygdala
  • fast, but rough
145
Q

A
  • cortext to amygdala
  • fast, but flexible
146
Q

H.M memory

A
  • long term implicit in tact
  • long term explicit not in tact
  • skill learning is in tact (implicit)
  • fear learing is in tact (implicit)
  • sensory motor in tact (implicit)
147
Q

acquisition

A
  • acquire an association between neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus
  • Ex: tone with puff causes blink
148
Q

extinction

A
  • break connection
  • after learning repeatedly present neutral stimulus w/o unconditioned stimulus
  • Ex: play tone repeatedly w/o puff of air
149
Q

A
  • fast
150
Q

A
  • slow
151

152
Q

sensorimotor conditioning extinction

A
  • fast
153
Q

sensorimotor vs fear conditioning

A
  • different behaviors and physiology
  • fear in amygdala
  • sensorimotor in cerebellum
154
Q

Richard Thompson

A
  • tried to identify location of sensorimotor conditioning
  • taught bunny to blink after tone (sensorimotor conditioning)
  • chilled bunny cerebellum -> turn down
  • inject GABA into cerebellum -> turn down
  • bunny isn’t harmed b/c chilling and GABA reversible
  • after chill or GABA, bunny no longer blinks after tone
  • after chill or GABA reversed (recovers), tone association is recovered
155
Q

how are fear and sensorimotor conditioning distinct

A
  • quicker to pick up and slower to distinguish fear conditioning
  • differences physiologically (amygdala vs. cerebellum)
156
Q

what is physiological substate of panic

A
  • overactive low road to amygdala
  • quick responses that aren’t flexible
  • overactive high road to amygdala is choking
157
Q

Lashley and maze learning

A
  • wanted to find out where old memories were b/c H.M had old explicit memories
  • rat motivated by food to find his way through the maze
  • rat makes fewer mistakes every time going through maze
  • like the rat has map of maze in head
  • Lashley cut a particular chunk out of each rat’s cortex
  • Rats still didn’t make any mistakes after cuts, regardless of location
  • Conclusion: effect of cut location means nothing, but size of cut influences performance
158
Q

effects of cut size

A
  • bigger cut results in a more blurred memory
  • still have all memories, they are just blurry
  • memories are like recipes, not blueprints
  • forget butter, cake is still cake, just blurred
  • if you cut out bluprint, something is missing
159
Q

Morris water maze vs Lashley maze

A
  • M: brain damage before learning
  • M: fast trial in maze
  • M: damaged rats in 2nd trial, wander like it was 1st trial
  • M: no damage rats in 2nd trial- find island instantly
  • M: damage to hippocampus
  • M: damage precedes and abolishes learning
  • L: brain damage after learning
  • L: different locations and sizes of damage (cut lateral temporally)
  • L: damage to lateral temporal after learning does NOT abolish learning
  • Conclusion: memories are stored in lateral temporal, they are just smeared across
160
Q

working memory

A
  • kind of like short term memory
  • enables us to organize and control thoughts
  • flexibly respond to changing conditions
  • maintainance of a goal and ability to achieve it
