  6. The sleep stage in which the brain and eyes are active, the muscles are relaxed, and vivid dreaming occurs; also known as paradoxical sleep. REM sleep

  7. The relatively slow brain waves characteristic of an awake, relaxed state. alpha waves

  8. The natural, periodic, reversible loss of consciousness, on which the body and mind depend for healthy functioning. sleep

  9. False sensory experiences that occur without any sensory stimulus. hallucinations

  10. The larger, slow brain waves associated with deep sleep. delta waves

  11. A sleep disorder in which the person regularly has difficulty in falling or staying asleep. insomnia

  24. The discomfort and distress that follow the discontinued use of addictive drugs. withdrawal

  25. A physiological need for a drug that is indicated by the presence of withdrawal symptoms when the drug is not taken. physical dependence

  26. The psychological need to use a drug. psychological dependence

  27. Psychoactive drugs, such as alcohol, opiates, and barbiturates, that reduce neural activity and slow body functions. depressants

  28. Psychoactive drugs, such as caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine, that excite neural activity and speed up body functions. stimulants

  29. Psychoactive drugs, such as LSD and marijuana, that distort perception and evoke sensory imagery in the absence of sensory input. hallucinogens

  30. Depressants, sometimes used to induce sleep or reduce anxiety. barbituates

  31. Depressants derived from the opium poppy, such as opium, morphine, and heroin; they reduce neural activity and relieve pain. opiates

  32. A type of stimulant and, as such, speed up body functions and neural activity. amphetamines

  33. A powerful hallucinogen capable of producing vivid false perceptions and disorganization of thought processes. Produces its unpredictable effects partially because it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin. LSD
