PSB 3002 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Cirrhosis, Drug Tolerance, Depressant
Document Summary
Deep dyslexia phonetic procedure is disrupted, but the lexical procedure remains normal. Output of wernicke"s areas is transmitted to broca"s area. Location of wernicke"s area just posterior to the left primary auditory cortext. Phonological analysis when areas of the brain analyze the sounds of a word. Broca"s area contains neural programs of articulation and speech production. Right hemisphere and split brain patients have language abilities comparable to that of preschool children. Inflammation of right eye can cross to the left hemisphere via the optic chiasm and corpus callosum. Cerebral commisures connect the left and right hemispheres. Metabolic tolerance occurs because less of the drug gets to the action site of the brain. Chronic alcohol consumption can cause cirrhosis and krosakoffs syndrome. Drug tolerance is a shift in the dose response curve to the right. Stimulants drugs that tend to increase neural and behavioral activity. Cocaine hydrochloride very few withdrawal symptoms, agonist and antagonist depending on the amount taken.
