Document Summary

70-80 mc, 10-12 ll in the blanks nervous system: Will bind receptor sites (lock and key) neuromodulator = chemicals that resemble or work in conjunction (agonists, antagonists) endorphins = andoginist opioid (reduce sense of pain) Other pious act on brains by binding to endorphin site endocrine system. Autonomic system, generalized responses of the body. Brain research invasive > lesion (extirpation) = cutting, scarring, electrical damage (ex: accident like phinneus gauge or purpose like lobotomy) Insert electrode into brain or micro electrode into cell. > gives rise to eeg (activity underneath electrode) Gave rise to knowledge of sleep stages dont worry about evoked potential. In real time > see what areas of brain are active doin those things) Activated pituitary gland (master gland of endocrine system) amygdala. David = damage b/w amygdala and temporal lobe > imposter syndrome, cant recognize parents hippocampus.
