1. Central Nervous includes the brain and spinal cord
system (CNS)
2. brainstem contains midbrain, medulla, and pons
3. medulla controls vital body functions ex: heart rate, breathing
4. pons control the management of sleep, arousal, facial expression
5. cerebellum maintaining balance and motor coordination
6. cerebellum contains more neurons than the rest of the brain
7. midbrain controls sensory reflexes, movement, pain
8. reticular forma- controls mood, arousal, sleep; major source of serotonin and norepinephrine
tion
9. thalamus controls sensation, memory, states of consciousness; receives sensory input from
most systems
10. basal ganglia voluntary movement; degeneration in Parkinson's, also involved in OCD and ADHD
11. hypothalamus involved w/ motivation and homeostasis; regulates temperature, hunger thirst;
directs ANS and endocrine system
12. hippocampus formation of long term memories
13. cingulate cortex directs ANS; plays role in decision making, emotion, anticipation of reward, em-
pathy
14. amygdala fear and aggression
15. nucleus accum- reward and pleasure

20. prefrontal cortex planning behavior, attention, and judgement
21. orbitofrontal cor- emotion, impulse control
tex
22. occipital lobe primary visual cortex
23. temporal lobe primary auditory cortex
24. parietal lobe primary somatosensory cortex (involved in neglect syndrome)
25. lateralization localization of function in one of the hemispheres (Ex: language lateralized in the
left hemisphere)
26. Peripheral Ner- nerves and ganglia outside the CNS; contains somatic and autonomic nervous
vous System systems
27. somatic nervous transmits commands for voluntary movement

parasympathetic
nervous system
31. enteric nervous nerve cells embedded in lining of gastrointestinal system; communicates with
system endocrine system; source of 95% of boys serotonin
32. endocrine sys- responsible for release of hormones into bloodstream; responses to input from
tem hypothalamus
33. pineal gland releases melatonin; maintenance of sleep-wake cycles
34. pituitary gland master gland; stimulates activity of other glands
35. main parts of the soma (cell body), axons (transmit info), dendrites (receive info)
neuron
36. glial cells provide structural matrix, clean up debris, form blood-brain barrier
37. myelin insulating material covering axons; increase conduction
38. glial cells cells that form scar tissue in the brain and spinal cord
39. young adulthood The prefrontal cortex in myelinated in
40. action potential electrical signal arising in a neurons axon
41. resting potential electrical charge across membrane when neuron is not firing
42. action The _________ potential is initiated when the membrane is depolarized to
threshold
43. synapse point of communication between neurons
44. neurotransmitter chemical messenger that communicates across a synapse
45. receptor where neurotransmitter binds
