Document Summary
Lecture outline: modulatory systems of the cns, functions of the cerebral cortex. Hypothalamus, thalamus, basal ganglia, pineal and pituitary gland. Hypothalamus: controls homeostasis and behaviour (e. g desire to eat and drink, sex drive, body temperature) The effect is that energy is drawn exclusively into the hijack. The immediate result of a hijack is a decrease in working memory. Stimulates unconscious responses via autonomic nervous system, endocrine and: 3 main modulatory systems of the body. Leads to reflex responses (often involuntary: sensory systems: monitors internal and external environment, cognitive (reasoning) system: controlled by cerebral cortex, behavioural state system: e. g sleep-wake cycle, limbic system (emotion and motivation) Leads to voluntary responses: motor systems govern cns output (response) Lecture outline: skeletal muscle control, four modulatory neurotransmitter systems, four modulatory neurotransmitter systems, modulatory systems of the cns, functions of the cerebral cortex. Processing of visual and spoken language: emotion and the limbic system.
