1 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 Phrenology (Franz Gall) Study of the bumps on your head Bumps reveal a person s abilities and traits
2 Phrenology
3 Neural Communication Neuron a nerve cell the basic building Soma block of the nervous system cell body; serves as neuron s control center
4 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
5 Neural Communication
6 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
7 Neural Communication Cell body end of axon Direction of neural impulse: toward axon terminals
8
9 Action Potential Within a Neuron
10 How Neurons Communicate Neurons communicate by means of an electrical signal called the Action Potential Action Potentials are based on movements of ions between the outside and inside of the cell When an Action Potential occurs, a molecular message is sent to neighboring neurons
11 Resting Potential At rest, the inside of the cell is at -70 microvolts With inputs to dendrites inside becomes more positive If resting potential rises above threshold, an action potential starts to travel from cell body down the axon Figure shows resting axon being approached by an AP
12 Depolarization Ahead of AP AP opens cell membrane to allow sodium (Na + ) in Inside of cell rapidly becomes more positive than outside This depolarization travels down the axon as leading edge of the AP
13 Repolarization follows After depolarization potassium (K + ) moves out restoring the inside to a negative voltage This is called repolarization The rapid depolarization and repolarization produce a pattern called a spike discharge
14 Finally, Hyperpolarization Repolarization leads to a voltage below the resting potential, called hyperpolarization Now neuron cannot produce a new action potential This is the refractory period
15 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, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether it will generate a neural impulse
16
17 Neurotransmitter Release Action Potential causes vesicle to open Neurotransmitter released into synapse Locks onto receptor molecule in postsynaptic membrane
18 Neural Communication
19 Locks and Keys Neurotransmitter molecules have specific shapes Receptor molecules have binding sites When NT binds to receptor, ions enter
20 Some Drugs Work on Receptors Some drugs are shaped like neurotransmitters Antagonists: fit the receptor but poorly and block the NT e.g., beta blockers Agonists: fit receptor well and act like the NT e.g., nicotine
21 Neural Communication Serotonin Pathways Dopamine Pathways
22 Dopamine Involved in movement, attention and learning Dopamine imbalance also involved in schizophrenia Loss of dopamine-producing neurons is cause of Parkinson s disease
23 Parkinson s Disease Results from loss of dopamine-producing neurons Symptoms include difficulty starting and stopping voluntary movements tremors at rest stooped posture rigidity poor balance
24 Parkinson s Disease Treatments L-dopa transplants of fetal dopamine-producing substantia nigra cells adrenal gland transplants electrical stimulation of the thalamus has been used to stop tremors
25 Serotonin Involved in sleep Involved in depression Prozac works by keeping serotonin in the synapse longer, giving it more time to exert an effect
26 Excitatory and Inhibitory Messages Excitatory message increases the likelihood that the postsynaptic neuron will activate Inhibitory message decreases the likelihood that the postsynaptic neuron will activate.
27 Neural Communication Neurotransmitter molecule Receiving cell membrane Receptor site on receiving neuron Agonist mimics neurotransmitter Antagonist blocks neurotransmitter
28 Acetylcholine First neurotransmitter discovered Ach is found in all motor neurons It stimulates muscles to contract, including the heart and stomach muscles Primary Roles: learning, memory, muscle contractions
29 Disruption of Acetylcholine Functioning Curare blocks ACh receptors paralysis results Nerve gases and Black Widow spider venom; too much ACh leads to severe muscle spasms and possible death
30 Disruptions in ACh Functioning Cigarettes nicotine works on ACh receptors can artificially stimulate skeletal muscles, leading to slight trembling movements
31 Alzheimer s Disease Deterioration of memory, reasoning, and language skills Symptoms may be due to loss of ACh neurons
32 Endorphins Control pain and pleasure Released in response to pain Morphine and codeine work on endorphin receptors; involved in healing effects of acupuncture Runner s high feeling of pleasure after a long run is due to heavy endorphin release
33 Norepinephrine Arousal Fight or flight response Primary Roles: physical arousal, learning, memory Disorders: depression
34 GABA Inhibition of brain activity Huntington s disease involves loss of neurons in striatum that utilize GABA Symptoms: jerky involuntary movements mental deterioration
35 Glutamate Major excitatory neurotransmitter Too much glutamate (and too little GABA) associated with epileptic seizures
36 Neural Communication
37 Summary Neuron structure Action potentials Synapse Neurotransmitters Receptors and ions Agonists and antagonists

42 Sensory Neurons INPUT From sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord Drawing shows a somatic neuron Also called AFFERENT NEURONS Sensory Neuron Brain Spinal Cord
43 Motor Neurons OUTPUT From the brain and spinal cord, to the muscles and glands Also called EFFERENT NEURONS Sensory Neuron Brain Spinal Cord Motor Neuron
44 Interneurons Interneurons carry information between other neurons only found in the brain and spinal cord Sensory Neuron Motor Neuron Brain Spinal Cord
45 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 Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body
46 The Nervous System Nervous system Peripheral Central (brain and spinal cord) Autonomic (controls self-regulated action of internal organs and glands) Skeletal (controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles) Sympathetic (arousing) Parasympathetic (calming)
47 The Nervous System Somatic Nervous System the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body s skeletal muscles Autonomic Nervous System the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart)
48 The Nervous System Sympathetic Nervous System division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations Parasympathetic Nervous System division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy
49 The Nervous System
50 The Nervous System

55 The Brain Lesion tissue destruction a brain lesion is a naturally or experimentally caused destruction of brain tissue
56 Electroencephalogram (EEG) an amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity that sweep across the brain s surface these waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp
57 The Brain CT (computed tomography) Scan a series of x-ray photographs taken from different angles and combined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through the body; also called CAT scan PET (positron emission tomography) Scan a visual display of brain activity that detects where a radioactive form of glucose goes while the brain performs a given task
58 PET Scan
59 PET Scan
60 The Brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images that distinguish among different types of soft tissue; allows us to see structures within the brain Stimulation Electrical stimulation of the brain involves sending a weak electric current into a brain structure to stimulate it. (It is not painful because the brain has no pain receptors
61 MRI Scan
62 The Brain Brainstem the oldest part and central core of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells as it enters the skull responsible for automatic survival functions
63 Developing Brain Neural tube beginning of nervous system develops at 2 weeks after conception Neurogenesis development of new neurons
64 Hindbrain Structures Cerebellum Brainstem medulla reticular formation pons
65 Medulla Breathing Heart rate Digestion Other vital reflexes swallowing coughing vomiting sneezing
66 Pons Helps coordinate movements on left and right sides of the body e.g., postural reflexes which help you maintain balance while standing or moving
67 Reticular Formation Network of neurons in the brainstem (and thalamus) Sleep and arousal Attention
68 Coordinated, rapid voluntary movements e.g., playing the piano, kicking, throwing, etc. Lesions to cerebellum jerky, exaggerated movements difficulty walking loss of balance shaking hands Cerebellum
69 The Brain Cerebellum [sehr-uh-bellum] the little brain attached to the rear of the brainstem it helps coordinate voluntary movement and balance
70 Thalamus Limbic System Cortex Forebrain Structures
71 Thalamus Relay station in brain Processes most information to and from higher brain centers
72 The Limbic System
73 The Limbic System Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus
74 The Limbic System Electrode implanted in reward center
75 Amygdala and Emotion Identify emotion from facial expressions Amygdala damage makes this task difficult
76 Hypothalamus Contains nuclei involved in a variety of behaviors sexual behavior hunger, thirst sleep water and salt balance body temperature regulation circadian rhythms role in hormone secretion
77 Hypothalamus and Hormones Hypothalamus releases hormones or releasing factors which in turn cause pituitary gland to release its hormones
78 Hippocampus Hippocampus structure that contributes to the formation of memories. Damage to the hippocampus has been implicated in the memory loss associated with Alzheimer s.
79 The Cerebral Cortex Cerebral Cortex the intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells that covers the cerebral hemispheres the body s ultimate control and information processing center Glial Cells cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons
80 The Cerebral Cortex Frontal Lobes involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgments Parietal Lobes include the sensory cortex & processes somatic information Occipital Lobes include the visual areas, which receive visual information from the opposite visual field Temporal Lobes include the auditory areas
81 The Cerebral Cortex Motor Cortex area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements Sensory Cortex area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body sensations

100 Disappearing Southpaws The percentage of left-handers decreases sharply in samples of older people (adapted from Coren, 1993). Percentage of left-handedness 14% The percentage of lefties sharply declines with age Age in years
101 Brain Structures and their Functions
102 The Endocrine System Endocrine System the body s slow chemical communication system a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
103 Neural and Hormonal Systems Hormones chemical messengers, mostly those manufactured by the endocrine glands, that are produced in one tissue and affect another Pituitary Gland under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
104 The effects of the pituitary are clearly shown here. Entertainer David Frost stands between the world s tallest and smallest man. The tallest man in history was 8 feet 11 inches tall. He died at the age of 22, partly as a result of this defect. The shortest known person was 23 inches tall when she died at the age of 19. Today s medicines can handle most of these problems if caught earlier enough, but these cases show what happen if the pituitary gland goes awry.
105 Neural and Hormonal Systems Oxytocin stimulates contractions of the uterus during labor and secretion of milk during nursing. Growth Hormone stimulates the physical development of bones and muscles.
106 Neural and Hormonal Systems Adrenal [ah-dreen-el] Glands a pair of endocrine glands just above the kidneys secrete the hormones epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which help to arouse the body in times of stress Cortisol regulates metabolism and response to stress.
107 Neural and Hormonal Systems Pancreas Hormones Insulin decreases blood sugar Glucagon Increases blood sugar
108 Neural and Hormonal Systems Thyroid Hormone Thyroxin regulates metabolism and growth
109 Neural and Hormonal Systems Sex Glands (Gonads) Female Sex Hormone Estrogen (Ovary) Male Sex Hormone Androgen (Testis)
