Biospychology

-
The structure of; sensory, relay and motor neurons:
-
-
-
Relay: Have short dendrites and axons output, connect the sensory neuron to the motor neuron.Found only within the brain and spinal cord.
Biological rhythm:
Circadian
Sleep wake cycle
AO3 Strength :
++ Cambell and Murphy : Participant exposed themselves to bright ligfe to prevent jet lag.
++ Exogenous Zeitgebers- light
Screens not displaing blue light after a certain time in the evening.
WEAKNESS:
Isolating one exogenous Zeitgeber does not give insight to other zeitbgebers that influence the sleep wake cycle.
Infradian
Menstural cycle 28 days.
STRENGTH:
++ Real world application allowing forms of family planning usingthe temperature and hormone changes of the body. NATURAL CYCLE APP.
++ Odour synchronised.Russell

Split Brain research: AO1: SPERRY AND GAZANGIA . Patients that have severre epilepsy have had to undergo surgery where the Corpus Collosum cut.
AO3:
++ Lab experiment so control over extraneous variables.
- fMRI scans on healthy individuals shows brain is lateralised.
AO3:
- Relatively small number of participants.
- Hemisphere being lateralised into two parts is over simplified
-
Endocrine system
Slower, involved in homeostasis, uses hormones.
-
The process of synaptic transmission, including references to neurotransmitters, excitation and inhibition.
