    Myers' PSYCHOLOGY

    Chapter 2

    Neuroscience

    and Behavior

    Neural Communication

    * Biological Psychology

    * branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior

    * some biological psychologists call themselves behavioral neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, behavior geneticists, physiological psychologists, or biopsychologists

    * Neuron

    * a nerve cell

    * the basic building block of the nervous system

    Neural Communication

    * Dendrite

    * the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body

    * Axon

    * the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages are sent to other neurons or to muscles or glands

    * Myelin [MY-uh-lin] Sheath

    * a layer of fatty cells segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons

    * enables vastly greater transmission speed of neutral impulses

    Neural Communication

    Neural Communication

    * Action Potential

    * a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon

    * generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of channels in the axon's membrane

    * Threshold

    * the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse

    Neural Communication

    Neural Communication

    * Synapse [SIN-aps]

    * junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron

    * tiny gap at this junction is called the synaptic gap or cleft

    * Neurotransmitters

    * chemical messengers that traverse the synaptic gaps between neurons

    * when released by the sending neuron, neuro-transmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether it will generate a neural impulse

    Neural Communication

    Neural Communication

    Neural Communication

    Neural Communication

    * Acetylcholine [ah-seat-el-KO-leen]

    * a neurotransmitter that, among its functions, triggers muscle contraction

    * Endorphins [en-DOR-fins]

    * "morphine within"

    * natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters

    * linked to pain control and to pleasure

    Neural Communication

    The Nervous System

    * Nervous System

    * the body's speedy, electrochemical communication system

    * consists of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems

    * Central Nervous System (CNS)

    * the brain and spinal cord

    * Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

    * the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body

    The Nervous System

    The Nervous System

    * Nerves

    * neural "cables" containing many axons

    * part of the peripheral nervous system

    * connect the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sense organs

    * Sensory Neurons

    * neurons that carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the central nervous system ......
