What types of emotions are associated with the amygdala?

negative emotions: anger, aggression, anxiety and fear.

Name all 5 hormones we learned

leptin, ghrelin, oxytocin, adrenaline, melatonin

What structure creates memory?

Hippocampus

How are hormones and neurotransmitters similar?

Both are considered chemical messengers

Name 3 structures related to movement

cerebellum + motor cortex + acetylcholine + motor neurons + efferent neurons + frontal lobe

What is threshold? Why is it relevant?

the minimal level of stimulation need to trigger a response - it determines if an action potential will be created

What is the right hemisphere known for?

Creativity, Spatial Awareness.

Name the Structure: is related to arousal and consciousness

reticular formation

Which hormone makes individuals have an appetite?

ghrelin

Name the Structure: thick band of fibers that connects both hemispheres

corpus callosum

Name the Structure: the branchlike structures that receive neurotransmitters in their receptors

dendrites

Explain the difference between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters?

Answers may vary but must include that - excitatory increases brain activity/likelihood to fire while inhibitory decreases brain activity/likelihood to fire

Explain the process of Neuron Transmission including the following terms: dendrites, soma, axon, axon terminals, myelin sheath, synapse and reuptake

answers may vary - Ms. Gerald will decide.

Which hormone is an appetite suppressant?

leptin

Name the Scan: uses magnets and radiowaves to produce a detailed image of soft tissue

MRI scan

If someone has a split brain what can they not do if I an item flashes into their left visual field? Explain what and why?

say what word it is because language is process in the left hemisphere of the brain

How are hormones and neurotransmitters different?

One is transmitted across the synapse, one is secreted into the bloodstream

What is the left hemisphere known for?

Logic and Language

Name the Structure: master gland of the endocrine system

pituitary gland

Name the Structure: related to balance and coordination

cerebellum

Brianna needs to relax - which nervous system should take over

parasympathetic nervous system

Name the Structure: in charge of hormones + hunger + homeostasis

hypothalamus

Name the Structure: Rebecca is presenting a speech before her school classmates - which structure is helping her produce speech

Broca's Area

Name all 7 neurotransmitters we learned

glutatmate, acetylcholine, dopamine, GABA, endorphins, noradrenaline, serotonin

Name the Structure: Beyonce is planning her ACT 3 album roll out

prefrontal cortex or frontal lobe

Name the Structure: Byron has aphasia - his words flow but not make sense - which structure is responsible

Wernicke's Area

This nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord

central nervous system

Too much of this NT is related to Schizophrenia

dopamine

Name the Structure: a system of glands control by the hypothalamus

endocrine system

This scan uses radioactive glucose to measure function

PET SCAN

Name the Structure: creates memories

hippocampus

Which hormone is related to childbirth and social bonds

oxytocin

This is where Neurotransmission takes place

synapse

Which NT is related to memory and movement

acetylcholine

Name five things related to sleep

pons + hypothalamus + melatonin + serotonin + endocrine system + hormones

This is the quickest brain scan that takes an X-ray

CT Scan or CAT
