Document Summary

Psych ua-25 - lecture 3 - action potential and neuroanatomy. Psychiatric medication usually target ach, ne, da, 5-ht. Orientation: posterior: to the back; aka caudal, anterior: front; aka rostral, ventral: below (inferior, dorsal: above (superior, medial: middle. Four lobes of the brain (1 each on each hemisphere: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital. Frontal and parietal lobes separated by central sulcus. Folding of the brain = shorter axons = shorter wiring = faster communication. Gyral anatomy - how to remember the names: find the central sulcus (anterior = frontal lobe; posterior = parietal lobe) Runs from interhemispheric ssure (anterior = precentral gyrus, posterior = postcentral gyrus: temporal lobe - nd the sylvian ssure. 3 main gyri, separated into 3 main sulci. Superior, middle, inferior temporal gyrus: frontal lobe; same concept as temporal, parietal lobe. Intraparietal sulcus (ips); runs right through the lobe. Gyrus that wraps around the end of sylvian ssure = supramarginal gyrus.
