PHRENOLOGY -Invented by Franz Gall in the early 1800?s -A theory that claimed that bumps on the skull could reveal our mental abilities and character traits The Nervous System It starts with an individual nerve cell called a NEURON Neuroanatomy Synapse Synapse How does a Neuron fire? Resting Potential: slightly negative charge Reach the threshold when enough neurotransmitters reach dendrites Go into Action Potential All-or-none response Transfer of ions across axon?s membrane causes electrical charge Neural Communication Types of Neurotransmitters Serotonin Involved in mood, sleep and wakefulness, eating, & aggressive behaviors Lack of serotonin has been linked to depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD Norepinephrine

Behavioral Psychology (https://jamesclear.com/behavioral-psychology), Habits (https://jamesclear.com/habits), Self-Improvement (https://jamesclear.com/self-improvement) In 2007, researchers at Oxford University started peering into the brains of newborn babies. What they found was surprising. After comparing the newborn brains to the normal adult human, the researchers realized that the average adult had 41 percent fewer neurons than the average newborn.

SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1AP Psychology Name Unit VIII: Emotion & Motivation Homework Assignments Read the assigned pages of your textbook for understanding of the content. To do this you need to (1) answer the provided guided reading questions OR (2) take notes on your own. You do NOT need to do both! Module 41: pages 420-429 What are emotions? Emotions are a response of the whole organism, involving: physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience. Explain the differences between the following theories of emotion: James-Lange: our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli

Topic 6.5 The Nervous System 0 IB Objectives Neurons transmit electrical impulses. The myelination of nerve fibers allows for saltatory conduction. Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron. Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons. Propagation of nerve impulses is the result of local currents that cause each successive part of the axon to reach the threshold potential. Synapses are junctions between neurons and between neurons and receptor or effector cells. When presynaptic neurons are depolarized they release a neurotransmitter into the synapse.

Doreen Pang Mrs. Trainor AP Psychology 18 October 2016 Module 5-3: Hemispheres & Split Brain Our divided brain We?ve known for over 100 years that the two sides of the brain have different purposes. Damage to the left hemisphere resulted in problems with: reading writing speaking math reasoning Around 1960 discovered that the right hemisphere had its specialties patients with severe epileptic seizures had their corpus callosum cut The corpus callosum links the two hemispheres The seizures stopped and the patients were very normal afterwards. These patients were then subject to experiments. The patient stared at the center of a screen and words or images were sent displayed to each side and thus were sent to one half of their brain Left brain

Doreen Pang Mrs. Trainor AP Psychology 10 October 2016 Module 4-3: How Neurons Communicate: The Neural Chain Specialized cells in the sensory systems of the body Can turn some energy --> action potentials Neural impulses Our brain only uses neural energy to communicate specialised cells that translate outer energy into neural impulse Receptor cells in the eye turn light into a neural impulse the brain understands. Sensory (Afferent) Nerve Carry info. from the sensory receptors to: spinal cord brain A network of cells that take thermal energy and translate into neural impulse Connect the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. Interneurons Nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord responsible for processing information. Related to sensory input and motor output.

Biology Chapter 46 Homework Xitlali Sedano P.3 4/12/12 Biology Muscle Tissue Is composed of cells that contract Every function that muscle tissue performs- from creating a facial expression to keeping the eye in focus- is carried out by groups of muscle cells that contract in a coordinate fashion There are three types of muscle tissues Skeletal Muscle Moves the bones in your trunk, limbs and face Smooth Muscle Handles body functions that you cannot control consciously such as the movement of food through your digestive system Cardiac Muscle Is found in your heart It pumps blood through your muscles Nervous Tissues Contains cells that receive and transmit messages in the form of electrical impulses Makes up the human brain, spinal cord and nerves

Major Structures of the Brain Structure Description Major Functions Brainstem Stemlike portion of the brain, continuous with diencephalon above and spinal cord below. Composed of midbrain, pons, medulla oblangata. Relays messages between spinal cord and brain, from brainstem cranial nerves to cerebrum. Helps control heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure. Involved with hearing, taste, other senses. Cerebellum Second largest part of the brain. Located behind pons, in posterior section of cranial cavity. Composed of cerebral cortex, two lateral lobes, central flocculonodular lobes, medial vermis, some deep nuclei. Process center involved with coordination of muscular movements, balance, precision, timing, body positions.
