Document Summary
Physiological psychology: part 1 of the final review. What is the central nervous system: brain + spinal cord. Hindbrain (rhombencephalon): the spinal cord: medulla- basic body regulatory functions (breathing, heart rate, etc. Medial- towards middle/ lateral- towards the outside. Rostral (anterior)- towards the from/ caudal (posterior)- towards back. Forebrain (prosencephalon): hypothalamus- involved in sleep, eating, and sexual behaviors; control of body temperature; hpa-axis (stress response) Have 4 ventricles: left, right, 3rd, and 4th. The choroid plexus is located in the 4th ventricle. The cerebral aqueduct connects the third and fourth ventricles. Csf exits the brain at the foramen magendie. Csf begins in the lateral ventricles and flows to the meninges: meninges= 3 layers of membranes around the brain, dura mater (most lateral, arachnoid membrane, pia mater (closest to the brain) Subarachnoid space is where csf is contained and absorbed by blood (between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater) No pain receptors in ventricles or brain tissue.
