  1. Genetics • DNA The Biological Bases of Behavior • Chromosomes • Genes Chapter 3 • Polygenic • Twins • Identical (monozygotic) Twin studies The Nervous System I. Central nervous system A. Brain, Spinal cord II. Peripheral nervous system A. Somatic nervous system 1. Voluntary: Afferent, Efferent 2. Autonomic: Sympathetic, parasympathetic

  2. Peripheral Nervous System Somatic: Red Autonomic: Blue Phineas Gage

  3. The Neuron Soma Synapse Terminal Dendrites Axon Buttons (Myelin Sheath) Myelin Sheath

  4. Glia Neural communication • Resting potential • Action potential • All-or-none law • Refractory period • Presynaptic neuron => postsynaptic neuron

  5. Neurotransmitters Drugs • Acetylcholine • Agonist • Monoamines • Antagonist • Serotonin • Reuptake inhibitor • Norepinepherine • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor • Dopamine • Endorphins

  6. Amygdala Thalamus Cerebellum Hypothalamus Reticular Formation Hippocampus Medulla Motor Cortex Sensory Cortex

  7. Sensory Homunculus Cerebral Hemispheres Corpus Callosum

  8. Hemispheric Specialization • Left hemisphere • Right side of body • Language, verbal skills • Math, logic • Right hemisphere • Left side of body • Visual and spatial skills
