Document Summary
Very factual based look at notes and get good grasp of material that he went over lecture. While glutamate opens ampa receptors, it opens nmda receptor to take mg off. Metabotropic receptors: neurotransmitter binds to receptor apart from channel, and through secondary messenger system it will activate the channel. Acetylcholinesterase must be there because it must break down ach, or neurotransmitters will diffuse away from the synapse. Pons: bridge for signals to continue through. Cerebellum: motor coordination and procedural memory (riding a bike) Thalamus: last checkpoint where sensory information gets projected into cortex directs it to appropriate place. Overall function: lower brain processes like emotion, fear, etc. Hippocampus: converts short-term memory to long-term memory. Frontal lobe: decision making; higher levels of thinking. As you progress through sleep, you go through stages of sleep and then rem. Habituation: learn to ignore repeated stimuli becomes background noise (decreased neurotransmitter release: ex.
