Stahl's Psychopharmacology Chapter 1-
3 with 76 complete correct solutions.
CNS (central nervous system) - ANSWER brain and spinal cord
Cerebrum - ANSWER 2 hemispheres and 4 lobes
frontal lobe - ANSWER The lobe at the front of the brain associated with movement, speech, and
impulsive behavior.
parietal lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex whose functions include processing information
about touch.
temporal lobe - ANSWER An area on each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex near the temples that is the
primary receiving area for auditory information
occipital lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information
Cerebellum - ANSWER Balance and coordination
basal ganglia - ANSWER structures in the forebrain that help to control movement
brain stem - ANSWER Connects the brain to the spinal cord. Controls involuntary, life-sustaining
activities such as breathing, heart rate, sleeping, and maintaining consciousness.
Neurons - ANSWER Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit
information.
Soma - ANSWER cell body of a neuron

Dendrites - ANSWER Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information.
Axon - ANSWER A threadlike extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Neurotransmission - ANSWER the process of transferring information from one neuron to another at a
synapse
synaptic connections - ANSWER When you learn and experience new things you gain more synaptic
connections
synaptic cleft - ANSWER The narrow gap that separates the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic
cell.
Synapse - ANSWER the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell

types of neurotransmitters - ANSWER Endorphins
Norepinephrine
GABA
Serotonin
Acetylcholine
Epinephrine
Endorphins - ANSWER "morphine within"--natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control
and to pleasure.
