Presentation Transcript

    1. Myers’ PSYCHOLOGY (7th Ed) Chapter 2 Neuroscience, Genetics and Behavior James A. McCubbin, PhD Clemson University Worth Publishers

    2. Neural Communication Biological Psychology behavioral neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, behavior geneticists, physiological psychologists, or biopsychologists Neuron a nerve cell the basic building block of the nervous system

    3. Neural Communication

    4. Neural Communication

    5. Neural Communication Synapse [SIN-aps] junction synaptic gap or cleft Neurotransmitters chemical messengers bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron Agonists Antagonists

    6. Neural Communication

    7. Neural Communication

    8. Neural Communication

    9. The Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) the brain and spinal cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body

    10. The Nervous System

    11. The Nervous System Nerves Bundles of axons -connect the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sense organs Sensory Neurons carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the central nervous system Interneurons CNS neurons that internally communicate and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs Motor Neurons carry outgoing information from the CNS to muscles and glands

    12. The Nervous System

    13. The Nervous System

    14. The Nervous System Reflex a simple, automatic, inborn response to a sensory stimulus

    15. The Brain Lesion tissue destruction a brain lesion is a naturally or experimentally caused destruction of brain tissue

    16. Electroencephalogram (EEG) an amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity measured by electrodes placed on the scalp

    17. The Brain CT (computed tomography) Scan PET (positron emission tomography) Scan MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

    18. CT Scan computed tomography

    19. PET Scan positron emission tomography

    20. MRI Scan magnetic resonance imaging

    21. The Brainstem

    22. The Brain

    23. The Brain Hypothalamus Regulation activities eating drinking body temperature helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland is linked to emotion

    24. The Limbic System

    25. The Cerebral Cortex Cerebral Cortex the intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells the body’s ultimate control and information processing center Glial Cells cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons

    26. The Cerebral Cortex

    27. The Cerebral Cortex

    28. The Cerebral Cortex Functional MRI scan shows the visual cortex activated as the subject looks at faces

    29. Visual and Auditory Cortex

    30. Association Areas More intellegent animals have increased “uncommitted” or association areas of the cortex

    31. Specialization and Integration

    32. Specialization and Integration Brain activity when hearing, seeing, and speaking words

    33. Stroop Effect This demonstration requires that when the words are presented on the next slide, the individual should say the color of the ink, not the color the word spells. For example: for GREEN the word “red” would be said

    35. Our Divided Brain

    36. Our Divided Brain

    37. Split Brain

    38. Brain Structures and their Functions
