Document Summary

5. tolerate ambiguity (indecisiveness: be open minded, critical thinking is not a philosophy, a belief or a faith. 3. the exact location of the damage did not affect performance, long term memories are stored all over the brain. 1. if the neurotransmitters cause the neurons membrane to become less negative then its excitatory (bcuz increase in probability of action potential occurring) glutamate most common excitatory neurotransmitter. Works alongside epinephrine (adrenaline: serotonin = monoamine regulates mood, sleep, aggression, appetite. (critical in depression, agonists are drugs that enhance the effects of neurotrans. actions, direct agonist: physically binds neurotransmitters to receptors. People with damaged cerebellums show symptoms of cognitive affective behavioural syndrome: midbrain = relay station between motor and sensory areas, superior colliculus = orientating visual attention. Front edge of the lobe is the somatosensory cortex that registers touch sensation: temporal lobe = at the side of the brain, involved in hearing, language, face recognition.
