“Everything psychological is simultaneously biological.”

“Everything psychological is simultaneously biological.”. Neurons. Neurons communicate within our body to control all of our sensations, action, behaviors. For a neuron to “turn on” it must reach THRESHOLD. Threshold: a minimum amount of neurotransmitters must “ignite” the dendrite. Neurons.

  10. How Neurons Communicate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OS2C4NemJI • Synapse • Space in between sending neuron & receiving neuron • Neurotransmitters • chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. • Reuptake • The terminal button recycles left over NT

  11. How Neurons Communicate Reuptake

  12. How Neurotransmitters Influence Us Alzheimer’s muscle & memory too much = schizophrenia pleasure, too little = Parkinson’s SSRI mood (happy), hunger, sleep too little = depression • Acetylcholine (AcH) • Dopamine • Serotonin • Norepinephrine • Endorphins
