Neurotransmitters a chemical messenger that communicates across a synapse Neuromodulators a chemical messenger that communicates with target cells more distant than the synapse by diffusing away from the point of release Neurohormones a chemical messenger that communicates with target cells at a great distance, often by traveling through the circulation Cholinergic releasing or activated by acetylcholine or a related compound Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) an enzy...

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...

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...

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...

Homeostasis The active process of maintaining physiological parameter constant Redundancy Important process are regulated by more than one mechanism Brainpower 0:02 / 0:15 Set point the point of reference of a feedback system long-term effects of food deprivation on weight and metabolism Food deprivation causes a decrease in basal metabolic rate. - As body weight decreases the basal metabolism decreases more than body weight. Glucose and insulin Insulin is...

Behavioral Neuroscience biological psychology Neuroscience scientific study of the brain and nervous system in health and in disease Hippocrates first to suggest that the brain was the source of intelligence Galen introduced "fluid-filled cavity" idea that allow bodies to move, studied with animal dissections and wounded gladiators (later proved wrong) Descartes Mind-body dualism (behavior as it relates to the brain), believed fluidic model Galvani tran...
