Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 What is Biopsychology? Biopsychology – The specialty in psychology that studies the interaction of biology, behavior, and the environment Neuroscience – Interdisciplinary field that focuses on the brain and its role in psychological processes Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

How Does the Body Communicate Internally? The body’s two communication systems, the nervous system and the endocrine system, both use chemical messengers to communicate with targets throughout the body Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The Neuron Types of Neurons Sensory neurons (carry messages from sense receptors towards the CNS) Motor neurons (carry messages from CNS toward muscles and glands) Interneurons (carry messages between nerve cells) Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

The Structure of a Neuron Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The Neural Impulse Neural impulse – Brief electric surge that carries the neuron’s message Ions – Charged particles that are moved across the cell membrane Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The Neural Impulse Resting potential Action potential Synapse Synaptic transmission Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters – Chemical messengers that relay neural messages across the synapse Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Seven Important Neurotransmitters Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Acetylcholine GABA Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Schizophrenia-too much, Parkinson’s disease-not enough Neurotransmitters Normal Function: Produces sensations of pleasure and reward; used by CNS neurons in voluntary movement Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: Schizophrenia-too much, Parkinson’s disease-not enough Acetylcholine GABA Substances that Affect: Cocaine, amphetamines, Ritalin, alcohol Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Depression, certain anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder Neurotransmitters Normal Function: Regulates sleep and dreaming, mood, pain, aggression, appetite and sexual behavior Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: Depression, certain anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder Acetylcholine GABA Glutamate Substances that Affect: Prozac, hallucinogenics (e.g. LSD) Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

High blood pressure, depression Neurotransmitters Normal Function: Controls heart rate, sleep, sexual responsiveness, stress, vigilance and appetite Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: High blood pressure, depression Acetylcholine GABA Substances that Affect: Tricyclic antidepressants, beta blockers Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Certain muscular disorders, Alzheimer’s disease Neurotransmitters Normal Function: Primary transmitter used by neurons carrying messages from CNS; involved in some kinds of learning and memory Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: Certain muscular disorders, Alzheimer’s disease Acetylcholine GABA Substances that Affect: Nicotine, botulism toxin, curare, atropine Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Most prevalent inhibitory neurotransmitter in neurons of CNS Neurotransmitters Normal Function: Most prevalent inhibitory neurotransmitter in neurons of CNS Dopamine Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: Anxiety, epilepsy Acetylcholine GABA Substances that Affect: Barbiturates, tranquilizers (e.g. Valium, Librium), alcohol Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Brain damage after stroke Neurotransmitters Dopamine Normal Function: Primary excitatory neurotransmitter in CNS; involved in learning and memory Serotonin Norepinephrine Acetylcholine Problems with Imbalance: Brain damage after stroke GABA Substances that Affect: PCP (“angel dust”) Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Pleasurable sensations and control of pain Neurotransmitters Dopamine Normal Function: Pleasurable sensations and control of pain Serotonin Norepinephrine Problems with Imbalance: Lowered levels resulting from opiate addiction Acetylcholine GABA Substances that Affect: Opiates: opium, heroin, morphine, methadone Glutamate Endorphins Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007
