Neuron
A nerve cell, or a neuron, consists of many different parts.

How do neurons work?
• How does the signal get from one end of the neuron to the other?– Sometimes traveling several feet almost
instantaneously!
• How does the signal get passed from one neuron to another neuron?

Action PotentialA neural impulse. A
brief electrical charge that travels down an
axon and is generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of
channels in the axon’s membrane.

Reuptake
This process stops the
neurotransmitter action.

How Neurotransmitters Influence Us
Serotonin pathways are involved with mood regulation.

Dopamine Pathways
Dopamine pathways are involved with
diseases such as schizophrenia and
Parkinson’s disease.

Hormones of interest
– Vasopressin – helps maintain proper concentrations in our bodies
– Oxytocin – labor and lactation, Love– Testosterone

The Brain: Older Brain Structures
The Brainstem is the oldest part of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells and enters the skull. It is responsible for automatic survival
functions.

The Limbic System associated with
emotions such as fear, aggression
and drives for food and sex. It includes the hippocampus,
amygdala, and hypothalamus.

More intelligent animals have increased “uncommitted” or association areas of the
cortex.

activity that detects a radioactive form of
glucose.

Neuroplasticity and the Brain
• Neuroplasticity– The brain continually reorganizing itself
• Neurogenesis – New neurons created in certain areas of the
brain during adulthood

Right-Left Differences in the Intact Brain
People with intact brains also show left-right hemispheric differences in mental
abilities.What is the difference in the function
between the left and right hemisphere of the Cortex?

Splitting the BrainA procedure in which the two hemispheres of the brain are isolated by cutting the connecting fibers
(mainly those of the corpus callosum) between them.

Split Brain Patients
With the corpus callosum severed, objects (apple) presented in the right visual field can be named.
Objects (pencil) in the left visual field cannot.
