This controls the communication between the two brain hemispheres. Is involved in
attention, impulse control, and emotion regulation. It integrates impulses from both
sides of the brain. - ANS ✓corpus callosum
This is located deep in the temporal lobes and is involved in anxiety and memory, and
shifting short-term to long-term memory. - ANS ✓Hippocampus
This is located deep in the temporal lobes and involved in emotional regulation and
perception of odours. All smells travel directly to this structure. Cooking smells can
elicit memories of childhood events and holidays. A traumatic event can result in the
formation of the fear response, causing the fight or flight reflex within the autonomic
nervous system and affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis causing the
release of stress hormones - ANS ✓Amygdala
This is an egg-shaped structure involved in sensory organ and motor command
processing. All sensory systems except for the olfaction process through the thalamus,
which is responsible for processing all external information - ANS ✓Thalamus
A group of structures involved in voluntary motor movements, cognition, and emotion.
Movement disorders include Parkinson's disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD),
and Tourette syndrome. - ANS ✓Basal ganglia
This is involved in complex motor actions and linkage of cognition to motor actions. It is
the main input area for the basal ganglia and is activated when anticipating or engaging
in pleasure - ANS ✓Dorsal striatum
This is involved in the reward circuit and reinforces addictive behaviors. - ANS
✓Nucleus accumbens
This is associated with pleasure, reward, and reinforcing behavior. Drug abuse affects
the limbic system, disrupting emotions and feelings associated with normal behavior. -
ANS ✓Limbic system

Involved in the reward process. - ANS ✓Nucleus accumbens
Involved in sensory organ and motor command processing - ANS ✓thalamus
Involved in complex motor actions, also links cognition to motor actions - ANS
✓Striatum
This includes circuits that are associated with pleasure and reward, emotion and
learning - ANS ✓LIMBIC SYSTEM
A group of structures involved in voluntary motor movements - ANS ✓basal ganglia
Controls the communication between the two brain hemispheres - ANS ✓Corpus
callosum
Contains nerve fibers that connect neurons from different regions into functional
circuits - ANS ✓white matter
enzyme system mediates how the body metabolizes many drugs, including
antipsychotics. The enzyme in the gut wall or liver converts the drug into a
biotransformed product in the bloodstream. After passing through the gut wall and
liver (left), the drug will exist partly as unchanged drug and partly as biotransformed
drug - ANS ✓CYP450 system
Which medication classes increases serotonin? - ANS ✓SSRIs, Tricyclic, SNRIs
bind more potently to the 5HT 2A receptor than the D2. Sedation is common and
relates to a high affinity for histamine. These medications have the least risk of EPS but
a high risk for weight gain and metabolic abnormalities. - ANS ✓The "Pines"
