Study Notes
Neuroscience Facts and Concepts
- Two types of strokes: Ischemic (blood clot) and Hemorrhagic (bleeding in the brain)
- Three structures of basal ganglia: Globus pallidus, putamen, and caudate
- PGO waves are electrical impulses that occur during REM sleep
- Occipital lobe visualizes what we're dreaming, sending signals to the pons to paralyze our body
- The Frozen Addicts: Cooked heroin wrong, creating hazardous pesticides called MPTP
- SM lost the ability to fear due to calcification of the amygdala, while HM lost the ability to make new memories due to surgery
- Broadmann Area 25 is involved in depression and emotional regulation
- Retrograde amnesia is forgetting things before getting sick, while anterograde amnesia is trouble remembering things after getting sick
- Explicit memory is remembering facts or events, while implicit memory is remembering skills
- Mirror neurons are cells that are active during movement and while watching someone else perform the same movement
- The primary structures that make up the Limbic System are the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, and thalamus
- The HPA axis is a system that helps cope with stress, releasing cortisol to deal with stress
