biospychology
infradian and ultradian rythm
infradian = more than a day
ultradian = less than a day
examples: infradian = menstrul cycle
examples: ultradian = sleep cycles
nervous and endocrine system
nervous system = specalised network of cells in body and is the primary internal communication system
based on electrical and chemical signals
endogenous pacmakers and exogenous zeitgbers
endogenous pacemakers = biological rhythms
exogenous zeitgbers = external factors such as light and social cues
e.g. in the sleep wake cycle: meletonin is an endogenous pacemakers and light is an exogenous zeitgbers
localisation of function
differest sections of the brain complete different tasks
eg. Brocas and wernickes area responsible for speach production and speach comprehension
circadian rythm
24 hours long
sleep/wake cycle
synaptic transmittion and neurons
plasticity after trauma
same area on opposite hemisphere of the brain can take on role of damaged area
lateralisation of function
studying the brain
