Biology and Behavior
• The term behavioral neuroscience describes the work of scientists from several disciplines who work to understand how the nervous system is related to behavior.
• Concerned with:
SensingProcessingResponding

2-3
The Evolutionary Perspective
• The evolutionary perspective > role of physiological structures & behaviors; adaptation to the environment

2-4
Natural Selection
• Natural selection = the most fit organisms survive; they adapt best to the environment; pass on genes
![Page 5: Chapter 2 Psych 1 Online Stud 1199299912883466 2[1]](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554caff1b4c905335b8b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2-5
The Nervous System
• We use the processes of sensing, processing, and responding to interact with the environment.
• The nervous system is divided into two parts: – central nervous system (CNS-brain and spinal
cord)– peripheral nervous system (PNS-all parts of
the nervous system outside the CNS)
![Page 6: Chapter 2 Psych 1 Online Stud 1199299912883466 2[1]](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554caff1b4c905335b8b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2-6
The CNS
• The spinal cord is composed of sensory (afferent or ascending) and motor (efferent or descending) nerves.
• Interneurons may connect sensory and motor neurons.

CNS Nerves

CNS Nerves
• A reflex arc occurs in less than 1/1000 of a second• A typical “fast” response that uses brain pathways takes
about 1/10th of a second

2-10
The PNS
• PNS > the somatic division and the autonomic division.
• Somatic division > sensory nerves run from receptors to the brain; motor nerves run to the glands and muscles.
• Autonomic division > sympathetic division, which mobilizes body's resources, and the parasympathetic division which returns body to homeostasis.

Neurons: The Basic Cells
• The cells that make up the nervous system are called neurons.
• Neurons are composed of:– dendrites > receive signals from adjacent neurons – cell body or soma – axon > transmits signals – terminal buttons > contain
neurotransmitters.

2-14
Structure of a Neuron
Bipolar > interneurons or association neurons
Unipolar > usually sensory neurons
Multipolar > tend to be motor neurons
All neurons carry impulses in only one direction

2-16
Key Neurotransmitters
• Acetylcholine (ACh)
• Dopamine
• Serotonin
• Endorphins
• Norepinephrine
• Gamma amino butryic acid (GABA)
![Page 17: Chapter 2 Psych 1 Online Stud 1199299912883466 2[1]](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554caff1b4c905335b8b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2-17
Refractory Period
• Neurotransmitters must be removed from the synapse before another signal can be transmitted.
Removal is accomplished either by breakdown or by reuptake.
![Page 18: Chapter 2 Psych 1 Online Stud 1199299912883466 2[1]](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554caff1b4c905335b8b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2-18
Agonists and Antagonists
• Agonists > drugs that promote the action of a neurotransmitter.
• Antagonists > drugs that inhibit the action of a neurotransmitter.
![Page 19: Chapter 2 Psych 1 Online Stud 1199299912883466 2[1]](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110118/554caff1b4c905335b8b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2-19
Neuromodulators
• Neuromodulators have more widespread and indirect effects than neurotransmitters.
• Neuromodulators also influence transmission between cells.

• Gall > skills and characteristics determined by id’ing bumps on the skull.

regulate growth, reproduction, metabolism, mood, and some behavior
• Hormones: – Chemical messengers
secreted into the bloodstream

The Endocrine System• “Cortisol is the body's main
stress hormone, and is required for many vital purposes -- proper glucose metabolism, blood pressure, immune function and inflammatory response are a few. In times of stress, either mental or physical, the body can produce an excessive amount of cortisol. At these high levels, cortisol is a nasty little number indeed. It can negatively affect cognitive performance, suppress thyroid function, foster blood sugar imbalances and the subsequent deposition of body fat, decrease bone density, as well as other things. Athletes don't like cortisol, as it is catabolic -- i.e., muscle-wasting, rather than anabolic -- i.e., muscle building.”
