HMB200H1 Study Guide - Comprehensive Final Exam Guide - Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, Amygdala, Synapse
Document Summary
The ns function is to produce movement w/i the perceptual world the brain creates. Motor cortex: topographic organization: neural spatial representations of the body parts activated by the brain religion, there is not a 1:1 correspondence between brain and muscle. Hmb200: lecture 2; how does the brain develop and adapt. If those receptor are activated it may trigger further maturation if not that pre or post synaptic neurons may die. Critical period: critical periods are when column formation/change is maximal. Hmb200: lecture 2; how does the brain communicate. The brain like a city: brain/city analogy is meant to describe the brain structures of connectivity drives the function. Thalamus; severs as integrating/relay center while amygdala is like a dispatcher. The thalamus-amygdala connections is almost as fast as spinal reflexes are. Every sensory organ has its own sensory neurons that detects stimulus. Sensory signals activate sensory receptors: within these neurons are specialized proteins called ion channels.
