Reductionist approach – micro-level of research‚ which breaks down complex human behaviour into its smallest parts. Neurons Neurotransmission Neurotransmitters are stored in neuron’s terminal buttons Synapse – gap between neurons Reuptake – neurotransmitters after sending the message are either broken down or reabsorbed by terminal buttons Neurotransmitters: 1. Acetylcholine – effect: muscle contraction‚ and a role in the development of memory in the hippocampus. 2. Dopamine – effect: voluntary movement

biological perspective. This perspective focuses on the deficit of certain neurotransmitters called monoamines. This theory is called the monoamine hypothesis of depression and focuses on three particular neurotransmitters: serotonin‚ norepinephrine‚ and dopamine. The first neurotransmitter related to depression is serotonin. A shortage of serotonin is related to anxiety‚ obsessions‚ and compulsions. The second neurotransmitter that can be related to depression is norepinephrine. A lack of norepinephrine

PhysioEx 9.0 Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses A C T I V I T Y 1 The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K_ reduces the net diffusion of K_ out of the neuron through the K_ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular potassium reduces the concentration gradient‚ and less potassium diffuses out of the neuron and into the cell. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K_ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value.

Jamason‚ diagnosed with asthma as an infant‚ has never smoked a cigarette. One day‚ he was cleaning up at the fast food restaurant where he worked. Unfortunately‚ he was cleaning near a group of his coworkers that were on their “smoke break”. Shortly after he returned inside he started having trouble breathing. Frantically‚ he called his mother‚ who arrived to find him gasping for air. He was then hospitalized for four days after‚ for something he couldn’t have prevented. Fortunately Jamason Coles

strength of the stimulus. If a stimulus is above a certain threshold‚ a nerve or muscle fiber will fire. Essentially‚ there will either be a full response or there will be no response at all. How do neurons use neurotransmitters to communicate with each other? The neurotransmitter molecules fit into receptor sites on the next cell‚ stimulating or inhibiting that cell’s firing. What do Agonists and Antagonists do?An agonist is a chemical substance that

Although there are many types of neurotransmitters‚ two classes of which are called excitatory and inhibitory. Excitatory neurotransmitters have effects that increase the likelihood of a neuron firing at action potential; however‚ inhibitory neurotransmitters decrease the likelihood of a neuron firing at action potential. One major inhibitory neurotransmitter is Gamma-aminobutyric acid‚ GABA. Alcohol inhibits neurotransmitter GABA that is responsible for movement and speech. (Jacobson

The Historical Background to the English Legal System The United Kingdom The United Kingdom (UK) is divided into four regions: England‚ Wales‚ Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each of these regions can be thought of as a country. However‚ the UK is one state not a federation of states (as in a federal state like the US or Australia) because all the separate parts are subject to the UK Parliament. This is said to have sovereign power. This means that it is subject to no higher legal authority

The Difference between Written and Unwritten Constitution are as follows: Written Constitution: Written constitution is one which is found in one or more than one legal documents duly enacted in the form of laws. It is precise‚ definite and systematic. It is the result of the conscious and deliberate efforts of the people. It is framed by a representative body duly elected by the people at a particular period in history. It is always promulgated on a specific date in history. The Constitution
