3 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Principle Parts of Nervous System  Central nervous system (CNS)  Components: brain and spinal cord  Functions: receives, processes, and transfers information  Peripheral nervous system (PNS)  Components: nerves outside CNS  Sensory neurons: carry information toward the CNS  Motor neurons: carry information away from CNS

13 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Brain Figure 11.15 FOREBRAIN Thalamus Receives, processes and transfers information Corpus callosum Bridges the two cerebral hemispheres Cerebrum Coordinates language Controls decision making Produces conscious thought

14 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Brain Figure 11.15 MIDBRAIN Relays visual and auditory inputs Coordinates movement

15 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Brain Figure 11.15 HINDBRAIN Cerebellum Controls basic and skilled movements Medulla oblongata Controls automatic functions of internal organs Pons Connects cerebellum, spinal cord with higher brain centers Aids medulla in regulating respiration

19 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Psychoactive Drugs  Psychological dependence  User craves the feeling associated with the drug  Tolerance  Requires more of the substance to achieve the same affect

20 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Psychoactive Drugs  Addiction  The need to continue obtaining and using a substance  No free choice  Withdrawal  Physical symptoms that occur upon stopping the drug

21 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Disorders of the Nervous System  Infections  Viruses or bacteria that manage to pass through the blood–brain barrier  Encephalitis  Inflammation of the brain caused by viral infection  Meningitis  Inflammation of the meninges caused by viral or bacterial infection  Rabies  Infectious viral disease

22 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Disorders of the Nervous System  Neural and synaptic transmission  Epilepsy  Recurring episodes of abnormal electrical acitvity  Parkinson’s disease  Loss of dopamine-releasing neurons  Alzheimer’s disease  Shortage of acetylcholine  Brain tumors
