Communication Within a Neuron
Receptors on Dendrites - Sensory (chemical reactions) - Chemicals from other neurons - Chemicals from endocrine glands - Chemicals from outside sources (e.g., Drugs)
Chemical Messages can be Excitatory or Inhibitory.Effect on dendrite is a summed effect.
- threshold

Action Potential- all or none law
- digital message (yes/no)- one strength - one speed - one way (dendrite to Axon)
![Page 7: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Inside and outside of neuron are fluid environments.
Fluid chemicals have ionic charges.- sodium and potassium
Resting Potential- inside negative relative to outside.- sodium-potassium pump
![Page 8: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

If threshold is reached at dendrite, then an action potentialbegins.
Gates in membrane open allowing sodium to flow in.Inside becomes more positive.Momentary change in charge.Passed along the membrane, carrying message to Axon Terminal.

Effects of Myelin
Allows action potential to skip along the membrane.- speeds conduction.
Brain neurons have no myelin (appear gray)Sensory and Motor neurons have myelin (appear white)

Terminal BranchesTerminal Button
Neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into Synaptic space.
![Page 13: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Communication - within neuron (electric potential).- between Neurons (neurochemical).
![Page 14: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Neurotransmitters are cleared from the synaptic space by1) re-uptake into the terminal button2) destroyed by enzymes
![Page 15: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Neurotransmitters effects on behavior depends on which receptor
Acetylcholine (ACh)Motor control (paralysis)Attention and Memory (Alzheimer’s)
DopamineEmotions, learning, memory & Motor controlToo Much SchizophreniaToo Little Parkinson’s

Serotonin – too little associated with Depression
Endorphins – nature’s pain killer
![Page 17: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Hormones- Chemical Messengers released by endocrine glands into the blood system
- many are identical to neurotransmitters
- have wider reaching, longer lasting effects
![Page 18: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Permanent Effects e.g., puberty
Temporary effects e.g., metabolism (Insulin and Thyroxin)
Hormones also effect mood e.g., premenstrual syndrome
![Page 19: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Hormone Disorders• Diabetes• Thyroid disorders• Depression
Hormones as drugsProblem: They effect a wide range offunctions = large number of side effects.

Fen/Phen (Redux)- effect hunger drive/increases metabolism - also effects maintenance of heart valve (lethal side effect)
Steroids- effect development of muscles-also effects mood and thought processes in the brain.

Module 6Cerebral Cortex
Sensory- motor functions• use about 20% of cortex.
Association Areas. (thinking, memory . . .)• uses about 80% of cortex
![Page 27: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Localization of Function
Specific areas of the brain have specific functions.
Damage to specific areas produces specific function deficits.
![Page 28: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Ways of studying the brain
1) Lesion studies (done on animals)
2) Case studies of brain damaged individuals. - relate behavior to brain areas.
3) Imaging techniquesCAT scansPET scansFMRI
![Page 29: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Cortex has 2 halves (hemispheres)Each controls opposite side of the body.
Each hemisphere has 4 lobes1) Frontal Lobe - Primary motor cortex (controls movement) - prefrontal cortex (planning of movements and working memory)
![Page 30: Modules 4 & 6 The Biology of Mind 1. Neuron - 100 Billion - Communication System.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649ccb5503460f949951bf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Frontal LobotomiesNerve connections to the prefrontal lobe are severed.
- done to control violence and aggression
Results: loss of ability to plan and carry out even simple tasks.

2) Parietal Lobe - primary somatosensory cortex Sensations and location of body parts
Unilateral Neglect- can sense the neglected side but fail to to attend to it.

3) Occipital lobe - primary visual cortex
4) Temporal Lobe - primary auditory (hearing) area. - complex aspects or vision - face blindness - motionblindness

Right hemisphere - spatial ability - face recognition

Within the left hemisphere there are2 areas for language
Brocas’s area - frontal lobe - production of speech
Wernike’s area - temporal lobe - comprehension of speech
Damage causes aphasia (speech disorder)

Can a person recover from brain damage?
- neurons are not replaced.
- plasticity of the brain - other parts take over function of damaged parts. - requires retraining
