Neurons: The Basic Elements of Behavior Neurons‚ or otherwise called nerve cells‚ are the basic elements of our nervous systems. We have as many as one trillion nerve cells throughout our bodies. These cells are responsible for controlling our behavior. So what is a neuron? “A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways‚ but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells

The human beings’ nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the nerves. The nervous system enables a way for the brain to receive information about someone’s surrounding. Then‚ the brain is able to send signals to various areas of the body‚ so it can respond. Millions and millions of cells called neurons creates the nervous system. “Specialized neurons called receptors are located in the ears and eyes and the other sense

ARTHROPODS The other complex compartmentalized nervous system is found in arthropods (see the diagram). The arthropodan brain consists of three main regions: the protocerebrum‚deutocerebrum‚ and tritocerebrum. The anterior protocerebrum‚ which receives the nerves of the eyes and other organs‚ contains centres‚ or neuropils‚ such as the optic centres and bodies known as corpora pedunculata. The neuropils function as integrative systems for the anterior sense organs‚ especially the eyes‚ and in control

Psychologists are interested to find answers to questions like the following: ▪ What part of the brain is responsible for language? ▪ What

this neurotransmitter ’s role on behavior? Acetylcholine is a common neurotransmitter located in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Acetylcholine acts as a neuromodulator which engage in direct synaptic transmission between specific neurons. In the CNS acetylcholine plays a role in attention and arousal in the PNS it works as a major part of the autonomic nervous

throughout the central (autonomic) nervous system and peripheral (somatic) nervous system where it binds to and stimulates cholinergic receptors‚ specifically muscarinic and nicotinic receptors (Mileson et al. 1998). The autonomic nervous system controls visceral functions in the body and ACh acts at muscarinic and nicotinic receptors present at effector organs such as heart‚ eyes‚ glands‚ respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary functions of
