PSYC 2240 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Cerebral Cortex, Catechol-O-Methyl Transferase, Occipital Lobe
Document Summary
Quiz #2 biology: explain what the blood-brain barrier is and how it works. Action potential travels down axon causes calcium to enter cell. Nts attach to receptors and alter activity of postsynaptic neuron. Nts may be taken back into the presynaptic neuron for recycling or they may diffuse away. Some postsynaptic cells send reverse messages to control the further release of nt by the presynaptic cells: explain how different neurotransmitters are inactivated. Acetylcholine; broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase: two components are reabsorbed and recycled. Serotonin and the catecholamine"s (dopamine and norepinephrine: taken up by the presynaptic neuron called reuptake , reuptake occurs through specialized proteins called transporters, some molecules are converted into inactive chemicals by enzymes such as. Comt converts catecholamine"s and mao converts both catecholamine and serotonin. Occipital lobe and temporal lobe play a role. Mouth movement influence us to see something different. What we hear may not be the truth how it reflects.
