How Neurons Communicate… IPSP = Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential EPSP = Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential
Runner’s High = DECREASED GABA Aggression; Serial killers low levels; important for sleep and low levels assoc with depression Important for sleep, mood, learning; HIGH = Schizophrenia; LOW = Parkinson’s High Runner’s high INCREASED DOPAMINE

The Brain = Many Neurons Glial Cells
The Brainstem The Medulla Oblongata and the Pons controls breathing, heart rate, digestion The Cerebellum controls coordination of movement and balance (Karate; Dance. Separate Section of the brain) *

The Midbrain The Midbrain receives, integrates, and projects sensory information to the forebrain *
– Thalamus conducts information to specific areas of cerebrum – _____________ produces hormones and regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, sexual response, circadian rhythms Hypothalamus
Cerebrum – with cortex and corpus callosum higher thinking *
