Orbitofrontal Cortex

A

smell process
integrate thought and production
control center for some emotions
Phineas Gage

23
Q

Tranorbital Labotomy

A

scramble frontal cortex to get thoughts out of your head

24
Q

Anterior Cingulotomy

A

separating cingulate gyrus from other parts of limbic and frontal cortex
ridding of attending to negative thoughts

25
General Adaptation Syndrome
response cycle to stressors Phase I: white blood cells pumped out Phase II: Stage of Resistance Phase III: Stage of Exaustion
26
Activation synthesis theory
``` neurotransmitters coming from brain stem dreams from REM hippocampus working heavily memory being etched in thus creating dreams ```
27
Reticular Formation
1st step | light must diminish to start
28
Acetylcholine (Cholinergic System)
comes from brain stem supports sleep and movement of skeletal muscles goes to brain with less light activates dopaminergic system
29
Narcolepsy
imbalance of orexins
30
Myasthenia gravis
immune system attacks acetylcholine
31
Vestibular sense
fluid moves around to produce sense of position
32
Otoconia
tiny particles inside fluid that flatten hair cells that feel movement
33
Golgi Tendon Reflex
small neuron attached to tendons | when stretch feel it
34
Polysynaptic Reflexes
interneurons to brain through spinal cord
35
Pyramidal system
Reactive system
36
Extrapyramidal system
basil ganglia stuff | learning of motor movement
37
Basil Ganglia
motor equivalent of hippocampus
38
Parietal cortex
where things are
39
Somatosensory
tactile sensation
40
Central Sulcus
dividing line
41
Motor cortex
1-1 pairing with somatosensory
42
cerebellum
smooth body movement
43
James Lange Theory
perceive fearful stimulus sympathetic system then kicks in
44
Cannon-Bard Theory
SIMULTANEOUS
45
Cognitive arousal theory
perception of stimulus then sympathetic arousal | corticol activation recognizing 2 things and appraise the situtation
46
EEG
measuring brain activity | invented by Hans Berger
47
Beta Waves
awake
48
Alpha waves
relaxed
49
Myoclonia
seizue "kick" in sleep | dream comes after
50
Hypnogogic state
dreaming and awake while falling to sleep
