Midbraine

Q

Superior colliculi

Study These Flashcards

A

Vision

Inferior colliculi

Auditory

relay station

thalamus

homeostasis

hypothalamus

smooth movements

basal ganglia

contains septal nuclei, amygdala, hippocampus, controls emotion and memory

limbic system

pleasure center

septal nuclei

aggression and fear

amygdala

consolidates memory

hippocampus

Executive functions

Frontal

touch, pressure, pain, T, spatial processins

Parietal lobe

Vision

Occipital

Sound processing, speech perception, memory, emotion

Temporal lobe

speech production

Broca

Broca's area is situated in what lobe?

Frontal

Wernick's situated in what lobe?

Temporal

Used by somatic nervous system to move muscles

Acetylcholine

used by PNS and CNS for alertness and arousal

Acetylcholine

In embryogenic development this becomes CNS

neural tube

infants turns his head towards you as you brush cheek

rooting reflex

infant extends arms

Moro reflex

infant fans out toes

babinski reflex

infant grasps

grasping reflex

concordance rates

likelihood both twins exhibit same traits

Compare family to general population

Family studies

compare traits of monozygotic with dizygotic

twin studies

compare adopted children and adoptive parents to their biological parents

adoptive studies
