Terms describing anatomical structures
A bundle of axons:
in the Central Nervous System = TRACT (e.g., ‘optic tract’)
in the Peripheral Nervous System = NERVE (e.g., optic nerve)
A collection of cell bodies
in the Central Nervous System = NUCLEUS (e.g. nucleus accumbens)
Gray matter - cell bodies
White matter - myelinated axons
Gyrus – ridge or protuberance on surface of the brain
Sulcus – groove on surface of brain between gyri
Fissure – long, deep sulcus
BRAINSTEM
HYPOTHALAMUS: 4 F’s(feeding, fighting, fleeing,sex)
MIDBRAIN
– VENTRAL TEGMENTAL AREA (reward, motivation)
– SUBSTANTIA NIGRA (motor function, Parkinson’s Disease)
PONS (arousal – reticular formation),
MEDULLA (respiration, heart rate, salivation)
Brain-Mapping Methods
1. Brain scans
a. CT and MRI - structural imaging
b. fMRI - functional imaging
2. Electrical recording of the nervous system
–
EEG
3. Magnetic stimulation
a. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
