Bio psychology

• The brain also regulates emotions, thoughts, memories, and behaviors.
• The brain controls all bodily functions, including breathing, heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure.
• The brain is the most complex organ in our body
• The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).
• The brain is responsible for the development of personality traits such as intelligence, creativity, and emotional stability.
• The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS includes all other nerves outside these structures.
• Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals throughout the body to coordinate movement, sensation, and thought processes.
• The brain plays a crucial role in learning and memory formation through processes like synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP).
• The brain has three main parts - cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata
• Cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive processes such as thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision making
• Brain damage can lead to various neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.
• The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS includes nerves that connect to other parts of the body.
• Limbic system is involved in emotional responses, memory formation, and motivation
• The CNS consists of the spinal cord and the brain, while the PNS includes nerves that connect to other parts of the body.
• Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals throughout the nervous system.
• There are three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.
• The brain has different regions with specific functions, such as the cerebrum which is involved in higher cognitive processes like memory and language.
• Sensory neurons carry information from receptors in the skin or organs to the brain or spinal cord.
• The brain is made up of billions of neurons connected by synapses, allowing communication between cells.
• Motor neurons send messages from the brain or spinal cord to muscles or glands.
• The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is involved in higher cognitive functions such as language processing, decision making, and problem solving.
• The medulla oblongata controls vital bodily functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
• The nervous system is divided into two major divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
• Brainstem controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion
• The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is involved in higher cognitive functions such as thinking, reasoning, and decision making.
• The cerebellum is located at the back of the head and is responsible for coordinating motor movements and maintaining balance.
• Hypothalamus regulates hormones and emotions, including hunger, thirst, sleep, and sexual behavior
• The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing
• Amygdala is involved in processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression
• Hippocampus is important for forming new memories and spatial navigation
• Sensory neurones carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS)
• The medulla oblongata is located at the base of the skull and controls vital bodily functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
• Amygdala is associated with processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression
• Motor neurones carry messages from the CNS to muscles or glands
• The limbic system is located deep within the brain and plays a role in emotions, learning, and memory.
• The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary functions like heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood pressure.
• Sensory neurons carry information from receptors to the central nervous system (CNS).
• Basal ganglia are involved in motor control and coordination
• Interneurones relay messages between motor and sensory neurones within the CNS
• Sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS).
