Somatosensory System Miscellaneous The Neuron Emotion The Action Potential
100
What is the Parietal Lobe
This lobe houses primary somatosensory cortex
100
What is a tamping iron
This item passed through Phineas Gage’s brain.
100
What are the Schwann cells?
These cells are responsible for myelinating neurons in the peripheral nervous system.
100
What is James-Lange theory?
This theory of emotion stated that we feel emotion only after physiological changes take place in our body.
100
What is resting membrane potential?
This is the name of the voltage a cell stays at when it is not being stimulated by other neurons.
200
What is the dermis
This is the second most outer layer of the skin
200
What are affordances
These are features of the environment that are significant to an animal’s needs for good or ill.
200
What is it's diameter?
The conduction speed of an action potential varies with this characteristic of the axon.
200
What is the Amygdala?
This part of the brain is involved in fear learning and processing.
200
What is 55mV?
At what voltage is the equilibrium potential of sodium.
300
What is adaptation
This is the reduction of a neuronal response as a result of prolonged stimulation
300
What is Wesleyan
What does Jason’s amino-acid t-shirt say?
300
What is calcium?
The entrance of this ion into the axon terminal promotes the exocytosis of neurotransmitter into the synapse.
300
What is Cannon-Bard theory?
This theory posits that emotional experience is due to states of the brain rather than physiological states of the body.
300
What is Glutamate?
This chemical is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.
400
What are vibrissae
These whiskers are used by some mammals to sense their local environments and gather information about nearby objects
400
What is a coronal cut
This is a type of brain section that involved cutting the brain from the dorsal to ventral surface, parallel to the central sulcus
400
What is kinesin?
This motor protein is responsible for transporting nutrients and other vital supplies from the soma toward the terminal.
400
What is sham rage?
This emotional expression state can be produced by in a cat by stimulation of the hypothalamus
400
What is the Goldman equation?
This equation allows one to compute the resting membrane potential of a cell is one knows the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell and the membrane conductances
500
What are C fibers
These narrow and unmyelinated neurons are responsible for transmitting slow, aching pain.
500
What is the fusiform gyrus
This area, located in the inferior temporal lobe is necessary for facial recognition, and is often damaged in patients with prosopagnosia.
500
What is the voltage gated potassium channel?
This ion channel is responsible for bringing the cell back to resting membrane potential
500
What is the ventral tegmental area?
Stimulation of this area in the floor of the mesencephalon can produce predatory aggression
500
What is absolute refractory period?
This is the period of the action potential during which the neuron can not fire any further action potentials.
