1. prolactin - ANSWER ✓ milk production, stimulates maternal behavior by
acting on the medial preoptic area
2. medial preoptic area - ANSWER ✓ - in males, activates sexual behavior
- in females, removes pup avoidance behavior
3. ventromedial hypothalamus area - ANSWER ✓ - in males, correlated with
aggression, inhibition leads to mating behavior
- in females, activates sexual behavior
4. vasopressin & oxytocin in pair-bonding - ANSWER ✓ - released from
posterior pituitary gland
- involved in facilitating monogamous behaviors
- engineering v1a receptors leads vasopressin receptors to become
sensitive; leads voles to become monogamous
5. The perceptual attribute of _____ best corresponds to that of the dominant
wavelength of light. - ANSWER ✓ hue
6. Another term for primary visual cortex is... - ANSWER ✓ striate cortex
7. A micro electrode inserted into a cat retinal ganglion cell of the "ON" cell
type would - ANSWER ✓ record an excitatory burst of potentials to a light
placed within a circular center
8. Cells located within the "blobs" of striate cortex play a key role in -
ANSWER ✓ color vision
, 9. pathways through which touch and pain ascend to the brain - ANSWER ✓ -
dorsal pathway for touch, vibration, 2 point discrimination, and
proprioception
- spinothalamic pathway for pain, reticular formation (arousal),
thalamus and cortex`
10.Neurons within "blob" regions - ANSWER ✓
11.(T/F) The ventral visual system stream is involved in motion processing -
ANSWER ✓ False
12.(T/F) Neurons in the parahippocampal place area are involved in face
processing - ANSWER ✓ True
13.nocioceptors - ANSWER ✓ nerves that detect noxious stimuli that send
reports about tissue state
14.Retinotopy refers to a... - ANSWER ✓ place code of visual space
15.(T/F) The receptive field of a visual neuron is a location in the visual field -
ANSWER ✓ true
16.maternal care circuit - ANSWER ✓ - maternal behavior activates MPA ->
VTA -> NAC; VTA to NAC circuit is important for motivation and
reinforcement (ex. when a lactating female detects a pup)
- when there is maternal behavior, DA release in NAC -> VP (involved
in control of motivated behavior)
17.(T/F) Both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system connect to the
ciliary muscles to control lens shape. - ANSWER ✓ true
18.oxytocin - ANSWER ✓ important for supporting monogamous relationships
in females, involved in maternal behavior
19.(t/f) cones in a human eye far outnumber the rods - ANSWER ✓ false
