Study-Guide-psychopharmacology Exam Questions With Solutions Gray Matter: The cerebellum, cerebrum, brain stem, and butterfly-shaped portion of the central spinal cord are comprised of gray matter which contains neural cell bodies, axon terminals, dendrites, and all nerve synapses. It is the working area of the brain and the focus of psychiatry and neurology. Gray matter is associated with learning. Changes in the gray matter are linked to psychiatric diagnoses including Alzheimer's dise...

NR 507 Week 7 Assignment: CNS: Sensory and Motor Disorders (E-dapt Content) Dementia Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that is considered a progressive disease that is associated with impai red cortical function. It is an all-encompassing term. Note the diagram of the brain below that demonstrates the effect of dementia on the cerebral cortex that demonstrates severe cortical shrinking: Dementia is not a stand-alone disease, but rather, a group of symptoms caused by an underlying conditio...

LCDC EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+ Two main types of cells in the nervous system glia and neurons Glia Cells that out number neurons, cannot process information like neurons, make up the blood brain barrier that protects the brain from toxic chemicals in the blood Nervous system Consists of neurons, axons and receptors Receptors Proteins that help regulate activity of cells in the nervous system. Activation of receptors by neurotransmitters cause a change in activity of the target cell ...
