Document Summary

Types of neurons: efferent (motor) neurons: carry outgoing messages from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands. Neurons-presynaptic and postsynaptic: presynaptic: delivers the message across the synapse, postsynaptic: the receiver . Drugs that affect actions of the neurotransmitters: agonists: mimic the action of neurotransmitters (drug action/effect, antagonists: blocks the brain and action of the neurotransmitters, hinders the high or the effect of the drug (no drug action/effect) Cerebral cortex of the forebrain: frontal lobe: associated with reasoning, parietal lobe: associated with movement, occipital lobe: associated with visual processing, temporal lobe: associated with perception and recognition of the auditory stimuli, memory, and speech. Interactionist theory: language is a production of genetic and environmental factors: saffran. Language and the brain: wernicke"s area: area to auditory cortex, responsible for language acquisition, responsible for comprehension of speech, broca"s area: adjacent to the motor cortex, responsible for speech production.
