Chapter 3: Biopsychology (Functions of different neutrotransmitters…

- - - - axon: conducts electrical impulse
        
        terminal: holds/releases chemical into SYNAPTIC CLEFT
        
        myelin sheath: INSULATES axon for faster transmission
- - - - neurotransmitters fit into RECEPTOR SITES located on the DENDRITES or SOMA of the postysynaptic cell
- - - - rising phase
        
        overshoot
        
        falling phase (repolarization)
        
        hyper polarization (ABSOLUTE REFRACTORY PERIOD: when Na+ channels are inactivated until membrane goes negative enough to deinactivate channels)
- - - - motor cortex
      - gustatory cortex: taste
      - olfactory cortex: smell
    - - somatic sensory
    - - vision
    - - auditory
