Psychologists study how the brain creates thoughts, feelings, and actions, and how internal and external environments affect them. Four primary goals of psychology: describe behavior, explain behavior, predict behavior, influence behavior. I. APPROACHES TO PSYCHOLOGY A. Biological: focuses on the relationship between the body and the mind B. Behavioral: concerned mainly with a person?s observable responses to stimuli C. Cognitive: concerned with memory, perception, thought, and other mental processes

Behavioral Psychology (https://jamesclear.com/behavioral-psychology), Habits (https://jamesclear.com/habits), Self-Improvement (https://jamesclear.com/self-improvement) In 2007, researchers at Oxford University started peering into the brains of newborn babies. What they found was surprising. After comparing the newborn brains to the normal adult human, the researchers realized that the average adult had 41 percent fewer neurons than the average newborn.

SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1AP Psychology Name Unit III: Biological Bases of Behavior Homework Assignments Read the assigned pages of your textbook for understanding of the content. To do this you need to (1) answer the provided guided reading questions OR (2) take notes on your own. You do NOT need to do both! Module 9: pages 76-80 What is the main focus of biological psychology? The main focus of biological psychology are the links between biological and psychological processes. What is a neuron? A neuron is a nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system. Identify the parts of a neuron. Dendrite: a neuron?s bushy, branching extensions that receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body

A.1 Neural Development Paper 3 Topic I. Neural Tube Development a) The neural tube of embryonic chordates is formed by in folding of ectoderm followed by elongation of the tube. b) All chordates develop a dorsal nerve cord through a process called neurulation in early stages of development c) The cells located in a portion of the middle of the ectoderm (dorsally located) differentiate to form the neural plate d) The ectoderm is separated from the neural plate by the neural plate border I. Neural Tube Development-continued e) The cells of the neural plate change shape, causing the plate to bend inwards and form a groove. The border is now called the neural crest. f) The in folded neural crest closes and separates from ectoderm forming the neural tube

Topic 6.5 The Nervous System 0 IB Objectives Neurons transmit electrical impulses. The myelination of nerve fibers allows for saltatory conduction. Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron. Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons. Propagation of nerve impulses is the result of local currents that cause each successive part of the axon to reach the threshold potential. Synapses are junctions between neurons and between neurons and receptor or effector cells. When presynaptic neurons are depolarized they release a neurotransmitter into the synapse.

Doreen Pang Mrs. Trainor AP Psychology 7 October 2016 Module 4-2: Neural Communication and Neurotransmitters How Neurons Communicate Neurons are interweaved very intricately hard to see where one ends and another begins Santiago Ram?n y Cajal Concluded that individual neurons functions as independent agents within the nervous system. Charles Sherrington noticed neural impulses were taking too long to travel a neural pathway must be brief interruption in the transition Synapse the junction of Sherrington aka synaptic gap cleft Neurotransmitters when action potential reached the terminals at axon?s end triggers release of chemical messengers How Neurotransmitters Influence Us Are certain nerotrans. found only in specific places?

The Neural Impulse: Using Energy to Send Information pg75 • Neuron At Rest -The Neuron at rest is a small battery, from the uneven Ion charges from the fluid around it of Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K). -Resting Potential – The Stable, Negative Charge when the Cell is inactive. •The Action Potential - Action Potential – A very brief shift in a Neuron’s electrical charge that travels along an axon. -Absolute Refractory Period – Minimum length of time after an action potential during which another action potential cannot begin. Only about 1 or 2 Milliseconds. -All-Or-None Law – Neural Impulses either Fire or don’t fire. There is no Half-Fire. A faster Rate of transmission means a stronger Stimulus. •The Synapse
