How do they transmit information?

What are neurons?

Nerve cells◦Basic building
blocks of the body’s information processing system.
Made up of ◦Dendrites◦Axons

Chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) bridge the gap
Rats in an enriched environment will increase their synapses.

Peripheral nervous system◦Links central nervous system
(spinal cord) to sense receptors, muscles and glands

Brain and spinal column Severed spinal cord E.g. E.g. -Sally - knee jerk reaction
without sensation of a tap on the knee◦Bill - No genital sensations, but
has an erection when stimulated.

Brain stem
Brainstem the oldest part of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells and enters the skull.
Responsible for automatic survival functions.
![Page 18: Neuroscience and Behavior 1 The Biology of the Mind.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e6a5503460f94b6812c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Brain Stem
Medulla [muh-DUL-uh] base of the brainstem, controls heartbeat and
breathing.Reticular Formation a nerve network in the
brainstem that plays an important role in
controlling arousal.

Limbic system Between the brain
stem and the Cerebral cortex
Includes: Hippocampus
◦ Memory Amygdala
◦ Emotion Aggression & Fear
Hypothalamus◦ Hunger, thirst,
temperature, & sex

Amygdala
Amygdala [ah-MIG-dah-la] two almond-shaped
neural clusters linked to emotion of fear and
anger.
![Page 21: Neuroscience and Behavior 1 The Biology of the Mind.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e6a5503460f94b6812c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hypothalamus
Hypothalamus lies below (hypo) the thalamus;
directs several maintenance activities
like eating, drinking body temperature, and
emotions. Helps govern the endocrine system via
the pituitary gland.
