Biopsychology - Exam 1 Review (vocabulary and definitions)

EXAM #1 REVEIW :
CHAPTER 1 Intro to :
brain and behavior Jean-Pierre Florens -

father of experimental brain ADDITIONAL TERMS TO KNOW

Monism-belief that mind and brain are not separate science Neuroplasticity-behavior and experiences that alter the

entities but that the mind is an extension of the brain
, .
Hermann Von Helmholtz-measured rate of nerve conduction physical brain.
Dualism -
the belief that mind and brain are separate Paul Broca demonstrated functional localization

behavioral neuroscience (blopsych) -
the study that relates Fritsch/Hitzig-discovered motor cortex via,
stimulating dog consciousness -

the state of awareness of one's own thoughts

THE BIG WIGS Golgi-proposed that neurons are fused together into continuous Ontogeny -

the process by which an individual changes

Hippocrates- believed brain was seat of thoughts and structures (Reticular Theory) In the course of its lifetime -

"grows up and old"

emotion Ramon y Cajal
-
Proved that neural tissue consists of separate Reductionism-breaking a system down into

Aristotle -
believed heart was seat of thoughts and cells (The Neuron Doctrine smaller parts in order to understandIt.


emotion , brain served as a cooling organ STUDIES

Galen-suggested brain mediated mental function somatic intervention-changes In body structure or function

Descartes -
dualist but , suggested link between soul which results in a change in behavior

Johannes Miller -

Father of Doctrine of Specific nerve E
.


↳ the mind
has access to objects only ,
to nerves

↳
perceptions depend on nerve energies, reaching the


brain and that the quality we experience depends
on which nerves are stimulated.

, CHAPTER 2- cells and structures neurotransmitter receptor -

a specialized protein that selectively corpus callosum-band of axons connecting the 2 hemispheres
NERVOUS SYSTEM PARTS senses and reacts toa correspondingneurot or hormone Precent gyrus -
In front of central sulcus Vital for motor ,




neuron-the most basic unit of the nervous system axonal transport -

transport of material from cell body to control

synapse
-
the cellular location at which information is axon terminals (and vice versal Postcent .
gyrus-behind central sulcus ,
vital for somato-

transmitted from a neuron to another cell . (synaptic button) Olial cells -
