ACETYLOHOLINE(ACH)
deals with motor movement and memory
lack of leads to Alzheimer

DOPAMINE
deals with motor movement and alertness
lack of links to Parkinson
to much leads to schizophrenia

SEROTONIN
involved in mood control
lack of leads to depression

ENDORPHIN
involves in pain control
most addictive drugs deal with endorphin

NOR EPINEPHRINE
helps control alertness and arousal
lack of can lead to depression
to much leads to bipolar

GABA (gammaaminobatylic acid)
major inhibitory neuro transmitters.
lack of lead to tremors, seizures, and insomnia


GLUTIMATE
memory
to much leads to migraines

DRUGS CAN BE:
AGONIST
make neuron fire
ANTAGONIST
stop neuron fires
RE UPTAKE
block neurotransmitters from entering the neuron




AFFERENT NEURONS (SENSORY)
 take information fem the senses to the brain\

INTER NEURONS
take messages from sensory neuron to other parts of the brain

MOTOR NEURON (EFFERENT)
take info from brain to the rest of the body

THE BRAIN

 

Cerebrum: 
The cerebrum or cortex is the largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action.

Cerebellum: 
The cerebellum is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, and balance.

Limbic system:
The limbic system, also called the emotional brain", is found is found in the cerebrum. Like the cerebellum, evolutionary the structure is rather old.

Thalamus:
 The structure has sensory and motor functions. Almost all sensory information enters this structure where neurons send that information to the overlying cortex.

Motor cortex:

sends signals controlling body movements

Amygdala:
involved in memory, emotion, and fear.

Hippocampus:
 This part of the brain is responsible for  learning and memory.

Midbrain:
It is involved in functions such as vision, hearing, eye movement, and body movement.

Pons:
Responsible for facial expressions

Medulla Oblongata:
Responsible for involuntary functions, such as breathing and heart rate

Hypothalamus:
controls body temperature, thirst, hunger , endocrine system and hunger

Hemispheres:
Left- responsible for logic and sequential task
Right-responsible for spatial and creative tasks

Broca's area

responsible for controlling muscle that produce speech
 

Frontal lobe:

Concerned with reasoning, planning, parts of speech and movement (motor cortex), emotions, and problem-solving.
 

Parietal lobe:

Concerned with perception of stimuli such as touch, pressure, temperature and pain.
 

Temporal Lobe:

responsible for you being able to understand what you re hearing
 

Occipital lobe:

Concerned with many aspects of vision.
