, Four pharmacological Vaccines, Antibiotics, Psychotropics, Oral contraceptives
revolutions
CNS central nervous system, consisting of the brain & spinal cord
PNS peripheral nervous system, including somatic and autonomic
divisions
Cortex brain region responsible for executive function
Hippocampus brain region associated with memory
Basal ganglia brain region involved in movement and reward
Cerebellum brain region that maintains balance
Thalamus brain region that acts as a sensory relay
Hypothalamus brain region that regulates hormones and homeostasis
Dopamine reward pathway pathway from VTA to nucleus accumbens
Parasympathetic nervous part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for
system rest/digest
Sympathetic nervous system part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for
fight/flight
Neurotransmitters chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses
ACh neurotransmitter involved in memory and muscle function,
terminated by AChE
Dopamine neurotransmitter associated with reward, motivation, and
movement
Norepinephrine neurotransmitter involved in arousal and sympathetic system
activity
