PSYC 2410 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Metencephalon, Multipolar Neuron, Neuroglia
Document Summary
Biopsychology: the scientific study of the biology of behaviour. Neuroscience: the scientific study of the nervous system. Neuroanatomy: the study of the structure of the nervous system. Neurochemistry: the study of the chemical bases of neural activity. Neuroendocrinology: the study of interactions between the nervous system and endocrine system. Neuropharmacology: the study of the effects of drugs on neural activity. Neurophysiology: the study of the functions and activities of the nervous system. Physiological psychology: surgical or electrical brain manipulation which mainly uses lab animal and is mainly basic research. Psychopharmacology: drug manipulation, mainly uses lab animals and basic and applied research. Uses humans and uses quasi experiments and/or case studies. Psychophysiology: non-invasive physiological measures, for example: electroencephalogram, eye movement, heart rate, skin conductance, pupil dilation. Uses humans, is non-invasive and applies basic and applied research. Cognitive neuroscience: neural bases of cognition, which used humans and is non-invasive recording of brain activity.
