Name the "touch" receptors and the types of information they carry - Hapsis is the perception of fine touch and pressure. - The corpuscular receptors are fast adapting and send input to the brain to the somatosensory cortex - Proprioception is the perception of the location and movement of the body. - It monitors the muscles and movements and gives feedback. - It is a fast adapting receptor that sends input to the brain to the motor cortex What is the difference between a rapidly a...

The behavior of organisms can be divided into three distinct categories. What are they? -Fixed action pattern: (also known as instincts) A stereotyped pattern of behavior elicited by a particular environmental stimuli -Reflexes: inevitable, involuntary response to a stimulus -Learned Behavior: (learning:) a relatively permanent change in behavior or the capacity for behavior due to experience. Be able to define reflex and give an example -reflex: an involuntary response to a stimu...

behavioral neuroscience the application of the principles of biology to the study of physiological, genetic and developmental mechanisms of behavior in human and non-human animal - examines how experience, or the environment, modifies brain and behavior, and vice versa - typically involves analysis at the level of brain circuitry, nerves, neurotransmitters to understand the basic processes that underlie behavior - understand the neuroscience underlying behavior and experience neuroscien...

Two main divisions of the CNS The brain and the spinal cord Role of the SNS The SNS (Somatic nervous system) is composed of spinal and cranial nerves carrying information to the brain. It is responsible for movement Brainpower 0:04 / 0:15 Role of ANS The Autonomic Nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic controls 'fight or flight' reflex. The parasympathetic controls 'rest and digest' functions (stasis of internal...
