Neuroscience & Behavior “If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t.” ~Emerson Pugh  Biological Psychology  Branch of psychology  Explores links between biology & behavior

Neural Communication: Neuron (Nerve Cell) Action Potential

Neural Communication

 Endorphins  Natural, opiate-like neurotransmitters  Linked to pain control & pleasure  Drugs affect synaptic communication  Agonists excite  Antagonists inhibit

Neural Communication Neurotransmitter molecule Receiving cell membrane Receptor site on receiving neuron Agonist mimics neurotransmitter Antagonist blocks neurotransmitter

Nervous System Central (brain and spinal cord) Nervous system Autonomic (controls self-regulated action of internal organs and glands) Somatic (controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles) Sympathetic (arousing) Parasympathetic (calming) Peripheral

Types of Neurons  Sensory Neurons (PNS)  Carry incoming info from sense receptors to CNS  Interneurons (CNS)  CNS neurons that internally communicate & intervene between sensory inputs & motor outputs  Motor Neurons (PNS)  Carry outgoing info from CNS to muscles & glands

Nervous System  Reflex  Simple, automatic, inborn response to sensory stimuli Skin receptors Muscle Sensory neuron (incoming information) Motor neuron (outgoing information) Brain Interneuron Spinal cord

Brainstem & Thalamus

Cerebellum  “Little brain” attached to rear of brainstem  Helps coordinate voluntary movement & balance

Limbic System

Cerebral Cortex

Corpus callosum Corpus Callosum  Large band of neural fibers  Connects 2 brain hemispheres  Carries messages between hemispheres

Association Areas  More intelligent animals have increased “uncommitted” (association) areas of cortex

Brain Structures & Functions

Endocrine System  Endocrine System  Body’s “slow” chemical communication system  Set of glands that secrete hormones into bloodstream
