Biopsychology
Biological Approach
-
-
-
-
autonomic - controls breathing, blinking
-
-
-
Fight of Flight
-
-
-
-
EVALUATION
-
now doing research on females, they respond completely differently - women dont produce as much adrenaline but oxitosin (nurture mode)
ignores the freeze response, ignoring people will freeze before their fight or flight response (deer in headlights)
a lot of research is done on animals due to ethical reasons, we dont know humans react in that same way
-
Functional Recovery
-
Axon Sprouting - healthy neutrons will start to grow longer dendrites which will allow them to close the gaps where the damaged neurons are
Synaptic pruning - dormant neurons will take on the action from the damaged neurons and neuronal connections that are no longer needed will disconnect which allows the neurons to make other connections.
Lashley - taught rats how to complete a maze, gradually start to damage parts of the rats brain to see if they can remember how to complete the maze - even after removing 90% of the brain, the rat can still remember the way round the maze - supports that the brain can compensate damage
Neurons
Sensory - pick things up from the environment, and first hand responder
Dendrite, receives messages
-
-
node of ranvier - gaps which allow sodium and potassium ions to get in - helps to push the message forward

-
Inhibitory transmitter
-
binds to the post synaptic receptor which makes it either impossible for neurotransmitters to get through or very slowly (less likely to fire)
Endocrine System
-
Adrenal gland, pituitary gland (master gland), ovaries and testes, pineal gland
