The Brain The brain consists of:
Cerebrum-has two hemispheres Cerebral cortex-outermost layer of the cerebrum,
has four lobes. Frontal lobe-reward, attention, short-term memory,
planning, motivation, consequences Parietal lobe-sensory integration, manipulation of
objects. Left hemisphere-symbolic (language and math). Right hemisphere-spatial relationships
Occipital lobe-processes visual information Temporal lobe-processes auditory input, language,
storing new memories, deriving meaning.

The Brain cont’dUnder the cerebrum is the limbic system.
Emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, sense of smell. Thalamus-relays information from the senses
(except smell) to the cerebral cortex. Hypothalamus-links nervous system to the
endocrine system. Light, circadian rhythms, increases body
temperature, hunger. Amygdala-processing memory, decision-making,
emotional reactions (fear).

The Brain cont’d Hippocampus-turning short-term memories into
long-term memories. Olfactory bulb-sense of smell.

The Brain cont’dAll information passes through the brain stem
before entering the limbic system and the cerebrum.Brain stem contains the
Pons-relays sensory information between the cerebrum and cerebellum, sleep, autonomic functions
Medulla oblongata-autonomic functions, relays signals between the brain and the spinal cord.
Cerebellum-motor control and coordinated movements.

NeurotransmittersNeurotransmitters in the brain excite or
inhibit regions of the brain by binding to receptors.Excitatory neurotransmitters create action
potentials, making it easier for a neuron to fire.Inhibitory neurotransmitters make is harder to
create an action potential.

Neurotransmitters cont’dAcetylcholine (ACh)
In the CNS, ACh increases responsiveness to sensory stimuli and memory formation.
Epinephrine-released during fight or flight. In the PNS-increases heartbeat,
vasoconstrictor/vasodilator, breakdown of glycogen In the CNS-involved in memory formation, fear and
arousal.

Neurotransmitters cont’dDopamine-excitatory: attention, emotional
arousal, learning, memory, and reward. High levels reduce the size of the stimulus needed
to initiate a response. Selects and limits sensory information from the
thalamus.Seratonin-inhibitory and excitatory
Mood and behavior, appetite and sleep. Suppresses the appetite. Blocks dopamine

Neurotransmitters cont’dGABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)-inhibits
other neurons, balances excitatory neurotransmitters. Reduce fear or anxiety created by over-excited
neurons.

Neurotransmitters cont’dWhen a neurotransmitter is no longer
needed, it is removed from its receptor.Pumps “vacuum” up the neurotransmitters,
returning them to the neuron that released them.
Some neurotransmitters are instead broken down in the synapse.
Until the neurotransmitters are removed from their receptors, the impulse will continue.
