Unit 3- Biological Psychology Study Guide Identify the following key terms (know more about how they are applied): Sympathetic Nervous System Biological Psychology Parasympathetic Nervous System Neuron Reuptake Dendrites Interneurons Cell Body Lesions Axon Electroencephalogram (EEG) Myelin Sheath Computerized Axial Tomography Terminal Buttons (Axon Terminals) (CAT or CT Scan) Neurotransmitters Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI Synapse Scan) Receptor Sites Positron Emission Tomography Threshold (PET Scan) Action Potential Functional MRI (fMRI) All-or-nothing Principle Hindbrain Neural Firing Medulla Excitatory Neurotransmitters Pons Inhibitory Neurotransmitters Cerebellum Acetylcholine Midbrain Dopamine Reticular Formation Endorphins Forebrain Serotonin Thalamus GABA Hypothalamus Glutamate Amygdala Norepinephrine Hippocampus Afferent Neurons Limbic System Efferent Neurons Cerebral Cortex Central Nervous System Hemispheres (Left and Right) Spinal Cord Brain Lateralization Peripheral Nervous System Corpus Callosum Somatic Nervous System Lobes Autonomic Nervous System Association Area Frontal Lobe Broca’s Area Wernicke’s Area Motor Cortex Parietal Lobes Sensory Cortex Occipital Lobes Temporal Lobes Brain Plasticity Aphasia Pituitary Glands Adrenal Glands Monozygotic Twins Endocrine System Hormones Behavior Genetics Environment Chromosomes DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genes Genome Identical Twins Fraternal Twins Heritability Interaction Molecular Genetics Natural Selection Mutation Evolutionary Psychology Identify all parts of a neuron and a brain when given a diagram. Know the similarities and differences between twins in terms of biological psychology and social-cultural psychology. Discuss chromosomal abnormalities (common), molecular genetics, and the gene-environment interaction in terms of their relations to biological psychology. Also, discuss the evolutionary perspective and its relationship to biological psychology. Understand and identify the intricate weaving between the nervous system, endocrine system, and the brain in relation to individual development, actions, and behaviors. Determine how the biopsychosocial approach may be utilized in the debate of nature vs. nurture. Explain how and when neurons fire, including what specific neurotransmitters trigger specific actions/feelings/etc. Identify how the nervous system works in unison with the brain to send and receive signals. What role do reflexes play in relation to the nervous system functions? Discuss the different ways psychologists study the brain and their specific usage in biological psychology. Identify the differences between the old and new brain including functions, names, and reasoning (why are some called new brain structures and others old brain structures). Determine what role consciousness and brain plasticity have on individuals and their behavior.
