QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
In EM rythm in created by - CORRECT ANSWER gluatamate agonists
In EM burst frequency is created by - CORRECT ANSWER inhibitory connections (less
firing) via glycine
to achieve fictive crawling in the caterpiller - CORRECT ANSWER ecdysonel (hormone)
or pilocarpine
In EM where is the intracellular and extracellular electrodes - CORRECT
ANSWER intracellular- motor neuron, extracellular- abdominal nerves
When do we record EM with brain - CORRECT ANSWER in caterpiller, no brain in
lamprey
What does STG mean - CORRECT ANSWER Stomatogastric ganglion
What is a CPG - CORRECT ANSWER Central pattern generators, networks that create
rythmic movement through groups of neurons that act as pacemakers
Ex of CPG - CORRECT ANSWER AB and PD cells in the STG (Stomatogastric ganglion)
What is true of the role of brain over inhibitory drive - CORRECT ANSWER In the lab,
chemical and electrical stimulation provide inhibitory drive over the motor rythm and can initiate
walking, flight, etc
What does primary somatosensory area do - CORRECT ANSWER recieves sensory info
from receptors on the body, has association areas
, What does the primary motor area do - CORRECT ANSWER sends impulses to skeletal
muscles, located in frontal lobe
What does the basal ganglia do? - CORRECT ANSWER control of movement, motor
learning. dopamine is important here
What does cerebellum do - CORRECT ANSWER Controls balance, equilibrium, and
muscle coordination. Posture

cranium
Who is franz joseph gall - CORRECT ANSWER A scientist who hypothesized that certain
brain structures were associated with certain functions or mental faculties. He sought a
correlation between brain size and specific abilities.
What happened in 1880-1920 - CORRECT ANSWER Structuralism- break down into
elements
Who is william wundt and edward titchner - CORRECT ANSWER 1st psych lab,
breakdown break into elements, analytical introspection
1913-1960s? - CORRECT ANSWER Behaviorism- determined by environmental stimuli
and organisms response, internal thoughts not important
