Horizontal Planeshows structures viewed from above Coronal Planefrontal section- shows view from the front Sagittal Planedivides structures into right and left parts Rostralposterior Caudalanterior Dorsal root (horn)sensory nerve- sends sensory messages to spinal cord/brain Ventral root (horn)motor nerve- sends messages to muscles Glial CellsSupportive functions to define synaptic contacts and maintaining the signaling of neurons

Acetylcholine(ach)Released by motor neurons controlling skeletal muscles. Contributed to the regulation of muscle action, attention, learning, memory and arousal. Dome ACH receptors are stimulated bu nicotine. Dopamine(DA)Contributes to the control of voluntary movement. Influences learning, attention and emotion. Cocaine and amphetamines elevate activity at DA synapses. Dopamine circuits in medial for forebrain bundle characterized as reward pathway. Norepinephrine (NE)Contributed to ...

Brain And Behavior Final Exam Neurodevelopmental - /nThe ____ hypothesis is a theory about the etiology of schizophrenia that is an alternative to the genetic hypothesis. While it doesn't rule out the role of genetics in the disorder, it also allows that other factors during fetal or neonatal developent could cause subtle abnormalities in brain development that later blossom into more severe symptoms as the brain continues to develop during adolescence. Short-term - /n____-____ memory: In...
