Dyslexia: a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words; appears to have strong genetic link. What gene is it stroongly correlated to?

KIAA0319

# Brain Rhthyms: What are 6 of the brain rhthyms?

1.Gamma 2.Beta 3.Alpha 4.Mu 5.Theta 6.Delta

# Brain Rhthyms: What brain rhthyms is categorized at 25-100 Hz and is active thought?

Gamma

# Brain Rhthyms: What brain rhthyms is activated cortex and categorized at 14-20 Hz and is state is alert, working?

Beta

# Brain Rhthyms: What brain rhthym is categorized as a quiet walking state causing daydreaming and creativity at 8-13Hz making you relaxed and reflective?

Alpha

# Brain Rhthyms: which rhthym is similar to alpha, largest over motor and somatosensory areas?

Which brain rhthym is at 4-7Hz causong some sleep states making you drowsy and meditative?

Theta

# Brain Rhthyms: Which brain rhthym will show less than 4Hz is at deep sleep causing you to be sleepy & dreaming?

Delta

# Brain Rhthyms: What oscillation occurs when sleeping and receives thalamus input?

Spindles

# Brain Rhthyms: What oscillation occurs in brief episodes in the hippocampus?

Riples

# Brain Rhthyms: *blank *are created by the thslamus pacemaker

Spindles

This synchronized oscillation mechanism is generated in the thalamus(pacemaker) then to massive corical input influencing the cortex, what pacemaker is this?

Central Clock Pacemaker

What are the four waves of sleep?

1.N1 2.N2 3.N3 4.N4

Which sleep wave is alpha rhthyms of sleep?

Which sleep wave is a spindle from the thalamus pacemaker causing no eye movement?

Which sleep wave is a slow delta rhthym?

# * Which sleep wave is the deepest sleep stage at 2Hz or less EEG rhthym?

“Hallucinating brain in paralyzed body”

REM Sleep

“Idling brain in a movable body”

Non-REM sleep

-Critical neurons Diffuse modulatory neurotransmitter systems (controls thalamus) – General decrease in firing rates of most modulatory neurons. – Noradrenergic and serotoninergic neurons: Fire during and enhance waking state – Cholinergic neurons: enhance REM events – Serotonin from raphe nuclei decreased during REM sleep – REM sleep: Limbic system and extrastriate cortex more active. Frontal lobes less active. – Hypocretin (Orexin) peptides (neurotransmitters) promote wakefulness, inhibit REM sleep. Secreted by hypothalamus

Neural Mechanisms of Sleep

What are the four types of sleeping disorders ?

1. Insomnia 2. Sleep Apnea 3. Restless Leg Syndrome 4. Narcolepsy

Which sleep disorder causes a disorder causing unpleasant crawling, prickling, or tingling sensations in the legs and feet, and an urge to move them about for relief?

Restless leg syndrome

Which sleep disorder is interrupted breathing during sleep. Mostly in obese individuals.?

Sleep Apnea

Which sleep disorder has many causes and is the inability to sleep?

Insomia

*blank* patients often have less hypocretin (orexin) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus.

Narcoleptic

# Memory: Damage to diencephalon leads to *blank*

amnesia

# Memory: Lesions cause "blank"

anterograde amnesia

# Memory: Which memory syndrome is caused by chronic alcoholism * Characterized by confusion, memory impairments, and apathy * Patients usually have lesions in dorsomedial thalamus?

Korsakoff’s syndrome

# Memory: Which experiment was used in behavioral neuroscience for studying neural mechanisms of spatial learning and memory?

Morris Water Maze

What part of the brain is required for spatial memory?

Hippocampus

Lesions to striatum disrupt procedural memory (habit learning)

Nondeclarative Memory

caudate nucleus and putamen of basal ganglia (control voluntary movement) is whar

statium

"train to recognize card patterns" is an example of what memory?

Nondeclarative memory

Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampus: LTD causes ___ frequency stimulation weaking synapse

low

Which memory is based off facts and events in one’s life – Episodic (events) or Semantic (facts)?

Declarative Memory

Which memory is – Procedural memory based off skills, habits?

Nondeclarative memory

Declarative Memory triggers what parts of the brain?

Medial Temporal lobe & Diencephalon

NOnDeclarative Memory triggers what parts of the brain?

Striatum, Cerebellum, Amygdala

What disorder causes Serious loss of memory and/or ability to learn?

Amnesia

What kind of amnesia makes you Forget things you already knew?

Retrograde Amnesia

What kind of amnesia causes the Inability to form new memories?

Anterograde Amnesia

Which theory is this External events (sensory inputs) are represented by cortical cells – Cells reciprocally interconnected: Cells that fire together, wire together Cells out of sync lose their link Supports the concept of “distributed memory”?

Hebbs theory on plasticity

What experiment is this "Chemical switch to activate Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) expression in few activated hippocampal neurons (engram neurons recruited by sensory information of the context). * ChR2 activated by blue light later on in a different context to reactivate the memory of previous context and reconsolidate with the new context."

Creating false memories

1. Correlated pre- and post-synaptic activities cause synapse strengthening and stabilization. 1. Uncorrelated pre- and post-synaptic activities cause synapse weakening and their elimination (Corollary)
