CogPsy Lesson 2

brain information can travel up to ___ miles per hour

• 150 miles

• 250 miles

• 350 miles

• 450 miles

this structure contains parts involved in motor movement and reward

• cerebellum

• tegmentum

• hippocampus

• thalamus

the human brain is divided into three main structures

• cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus

• hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain

• cortex, medulla, pons

• amygdala, hippocampus, corpus callosum

the forebrain is also called...

• prosencephalon

• mesencephalon

• rhombencephalon

• diencephalon

it integrates incoming signals and generates outgoing signals to the axon

• cell body

• dendrite

• axon terminal

• synapse

part of a neuron responsible for maintaining cell health and supporting cellular activities

• axon

• dendrite

• cell body

• synapse

5 structures in the limbic system

• amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus, cingulate gyrus

• cerebellum, medulla, pons, thalamus, cingulate gyrus

• amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, cingulate gyrus

• amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus, brainstem

the long fiber that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands

• axon

• dendrite

• synapse

• neurotransmitter

specialized area for analyzing different features of the face: gaze direction, facial movements

• Superior Temporal Sulcus (STS)

• Inferior Frontal Gyrus

• Occipital Lobe

• Cingulate Cortex

branch-like extensions from the cell body that receive signals from other neurons

• axons

• dendrites

• synapses

• neurons
