Document Summary
Bios 2400 - chapter 8 - central nervous system. Mentally following route: long-term memory (ltm, nondeclarative (implicit): memory of simple skills, how to do things ex. Ride a bike, nervous when going to dentist: declarative (explicit): memory of things that can be verbalized, semantic: simple facts ex. A monkey has a tail; inferior temporal lobe: episodic: events ex. Last birthday; medial temporal lobe: people with amnesia have impaired declarative memories, can be retrieved minutes to years, synaptic changes in memory, stm involves a recurrent (reverberating) circuit where neurons synapse on each other in a circle. 8. 3 diencephalon: diencephalon, thalamus: relay center for all sensory information, except smell; sleep arousal, epithalamus: contains pineal gland (circadian rhythms); melatonin, hypothalamus: homeostasis and regulating autonomic system, pituitary gland: regulating hormone secretion and release. 8. 4 midbrain and hindbrain: midbrain, corpora quadrigemina, superior colliculi: visual reflexes; important for controlling eye movement; frontal and occipital lobe are where tracks lead to.
