iPad notes of the topic of Brain & Bheaviour from the Introductory Psychology I module. Given by Dr. Elaine Cameron at The University of Stirling in the autumn semester of 2020. Based on the lectures, the book, and the seminars. Written by Bea Lume Nunes. Note: I passed with a first using these not...
, NEURONS : THE ORIGIN OF BEHAVIOUR
-
neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system
→
they process information recieved from the outside world , communicate with one -
another and send messages to the body 's muscles and organs
'
Glial cells play a role in brain function , facilitating the communicative activity of neurons by forming the myelin sheath

recieve Information from other neurons and relay it to the cell body

in demye.li hating diseases the myelin sheath deteriorates ,
.
→ axon

-
neurons do not touch eachother -
this gap is called the synapse
MAJOR TYPES OF NEURONS
→ the transmission of Information across the synapse is fundamental to
.
there are three
communication between neurons types of major types of neurons :
NEURONS SPECIALIZED →
sensory neurons
- the size and shape of neurons vary considerably -
recieve information from the external world
. the Purkinje -
elaborate treelike assemblage of dendrites -
have specialized endings on their dendrites that recieve
signals for light , sound , touch and smell
- → motor neurons
prymidal cells -
long triangular cell body and a single long dendrite with many
smaller dendrites -
carry signals to produce movement
'
bipolar cells -
few dendrites and a
single axon -
these neurons have long axons that can stretch to muscles
→ interneurons
-
connect all neurons by creating small circuits to perform simple and complicated tasks
THE ELECTROCHEMICAL ACTIONS OF NEURONS
ELECTRICAL SIGNALLING Nat

→ the there high concentration of Kt inside the neuron and low concentration outside
in
resting states , is a
→ the concentration of Kt is controlled by channels in the axon membrane that allow the flow in and out of the neuron +
*
in the
resting state these channels are open and other molecules generally closed

a) electric simulation of the neuron shuts down the Kt channels and opens the Nat channels , allowing Nat to enter the axon

.
the myelin sheath which is made up of glial cells that coat and insulate the axon facilitates the transmission of the action potential

the breakpoints in the myelin sheath are called nodes of ranker
