Neuroanatomy Flashcards
What are 5 systems of brain
Brain stem, diencephalon, limbic system, cortex, autonomic nervous system
What is cortex involved with?
executive functions, abstract reasoning, sensory/motor integration, lobe specific functions, anterior to posterior
limbic system
emotion behavior motivation long-term memory olfaction
Three parts of limbic system
amygdala
hippocampus
basal ganglia
diencephalon
di-two
ecephalon-brain
thalamus
hypothalamus
function of thalamus
relay station for sensory info
precursor to frontal cortex
function of hypothalamus
regulates drive states
sympathetic nervous system
fight flight energy reserves cardiopulmonary response immune response stress response suffering
parasympathetic nervous system
relaxation response repair, energy conservation resting state for mind, body, brain entry point for 'cooling the fires' heart rate variability
hypothalamic pituitary axis
stress hormone regulation (epinephrine and corisol)
neurotransmitter systems
dopamine norephinephrine acetylcholine serotonin GABA glutamate
dopamine
reward, attention
norenpinephrine
alertness and arousal
acetylcholine
learning and memory
serotonin
mood
sleep
appetite
