Behavioral Neuroscience 10th
Edition All Chapters
Subventricular zone (SVZ) - ANS-A layer of progenitor
cells located inside the ventricular zone; thicker in
mammals with larger brains
Symmetrical division - ANS-Division of progenitor
cells that gives rise to two identical progenitor cells;
increases the size of the ventricular zone and brain
that develops from it
Asymmetrical division - ANS-Division of a progenitor
cell that gives rise to another progenitor cell and a
neuron, which migrates away from the ventricular
zone to its final resting place int he brain
Radial glia - ANS-Special glia with fibers that grow
radially outward from the ventricular zone to the
surface of the cortex; guides neurons for
development
Apoptosis - ANS-Marks the end of cortical
development; Death of a cell caused by a chemical
signal that activates genetic mechanisms inside the
cell
,The development of complex brains may be because
of ____________, in which one gene codes for the
functions and the other gene is "experimented" with.
- ANS-Genetic duplication
Neuron - ANS-cell of the brain
Neurogenesis - ANS-The generation of new neurons
Generalization - ANS-Refers to explanations as
examples of general laws, revealed through
experiments
Reduction - ANS-Refers to explanations of complex
phenomena in terms of simpler ones
Dualism - ANS-A belief in the dual nature of reality;
Mind and body are separate; the body is made of
ordinary matter but the mind is not.
Monism - ANS-A belief that everything in the universe
consists of matter and energy; the mind is a
phenomenon produced by the workings of the
nervous system
Reflexes - ANS-Automatic/involuntary reactions of
the human body
,Doctrine of Specific Nerve Energies - ANS-Because
all nerve fibers carry the same type of message,
sensory information must be specified by the
particular nerve fibers active
Experimental ablation - ANS-Removing parts of the
brain and testing behaviors to infer the function of
the mission portion of the brain.
Functionalism - ANS-A belief that characteristics of
living organisms perform useful functions
Natural Selection - ANS-The process by which
inherited traits that confer a selective advantage
become more prevalent in a population
Mutations - ANS-a change in genetic information
contained in chromosomes of sperm and eggs that is
passed onto offspring and provides genetic
variability
Selective advantage - ANS-Increases an animals
likelihood to live and reproduce
Evolution - ANS-A gradual change in the structure
and physiology of a species as a result of natural
selection
, Neoteny - ANS-A slowing of the process of
maturation, allowing more time for growth; an
important factor in the development of large brains
Informed consent - ANS-An ethical principle that
research participants be told enough (nature of the
study, how data will be collected and reported, cost
and benefits of participation, etc.) to enable them to
choose whether they wish to participate.
Neuroethics - ANS-An interdisciplinary field devoted
to understanding implications of and developing best
practices in ethics for neuroscience research
Neuroaxis - ANS-imaginary line drawn the length of
the CNS
Why brain damage occurs so quickly - ANS-1.) Only
store small amounts of fuel (primarily glucose)
2.) Can't temporarily extract energy without oxygen
