|---|
| deep lesioning | damaging a part of an animal's brain deliberately by sending an electrical current strong enough to kill off the neurons at the tip of the wire |
| Electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB)(ESB) | a mild electrical current is sent through the brain causing the neurons to react as if they had been sent a message |
| electroencephalograph (EEG) | machine designed to record the brain wave patterns produced by electrical activity of the surface of the brain |
| computed tomography | brain-imaging method using computer controlled X-rays of the brain |
| magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) | brain-imaging method using radio waves and magnetic fields of the body to produce detailed images of the brain |
| Positron emission tomography (PET) | brain-imaging method in which a radioactive sugar is injected into the subject and a computer compiles a color-coded image of the activity of the brain with lighter colors indicating more activity |
| nervous system | an extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body |
| neuroscience | deals with the structure and function of neurons, nerves, and nervous tissue/related to behavior and learning |
| autonomic division | regulates internal environment. Carries info from CNS to smooth muscles and glands |
| somatic division | carries info to the CNS from the senses and from the CNS to skeletal muscles |
| sympathetic | part of the autonomic division, arouses the body |
| central nervous system | brain and spinal cord |
| peripheral nervous system | autonomic division and somatic division |
| parasympathetic | part of the autonomic division, calms after arousal |
