Study Notes

Non-Declarative Memories

  • Relevant brain anatomy involves the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and non-MTL structures in learning and memory
  • MTL amnesia affects memory consolidation
  • Non-MTL structures, such as the striatum, play roles in learning and memory
  • Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a cellular basis of learning and memory

Emotion and Stress

  • Emotions can be approached as discrete (basic) emotions or emerging constructs
  • Fear and anxiety have neurobiological bases
  • Brain structures involved in emotion and stress include those related to fear and aggression
  • Stress affects immunology

Language

  • Language disorders include aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, alexia, and agraphia
  • Classic views of aphasia and psycholinguistics are important in understanding language disorders
  • The brain represents word meaning in complex ways

Hunger and Eating Behaviour

  • Eating involves digestion, storage, and release of energy in three phases of energy metabolism
  • Theories of eating and hunger include various factors that influence food intake
  • Neurobiological findings relate to feeding and satiety

Drug Use & Addiction

  • Basic principles of drug action involve routes of administration, mechanisms of action, dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal
  • Learning plays a role in drug tolerance and relapse
  • Theories of addiction have neurobiological evidence

Brain Damage & Neuroplasticity

  • Causes of brain damage include internal and external factors, leading to different types of cell death and consequences
  • Neurological/neurocognitive disorders result from brain damage
  • Neuroplastic responses to brain damage enable recovery of brain function after CNS damage

Exam Preparation

  • General exam tips include starting to study early, reducing anxiety, and engaging in deep level processing of material
  • Strategies for responding to multiple-choice questions include covering answers, reading questions carefully, and eliminating options

Exam Prep Basics

  • Important exam prep basics include checking the time and location of the exam, getting a good night's sleep, and checking QUT student emails regularly
