Term
“what is it?” processing system
Definition
inferior temporal lobe
Term
“where is it?” system
Definition
parietal lobe
Term
dorsal stream
Definition
parietal lobe
Term
ventral stream
Definition
inferior temporal lobe
Term
prosopagnosia
Definition
damage to fusiform gyrus, face recognition impairment
Term
damage to V1
Definition
scotoma (blind spot)
Term
hemianopia
Definition
lose half of visual field
Term
astereoagnosia
Definition
inability to recognize objects by touch
Term
visual agnosia
Definition
cannot identify object since meaning is lost, but can still identify w/ other senses
Term
neglect
Definition
attentional loss; damage usually to right hemisphere (so vision usually ignored on left side); damage to parietal vs hemianopia damage to occipital (also loss of vision, not attention)
Term
Balint’s syndrome symptoms (3)
Definition
stroke in circle of willis

Optic ataxia
Ocular Ataxia
Simultagnosia
Term
somatophrenia
Definition
loathing/denial of one's own body parts
Term
blindsight
Definition
eye blindness all processes blocked but cortical blindness still has motion processing (V5)
Term
where faces are processed
Definition
fusiform gyrus
Term
evidence prosopagnosia unconsciously recognizes faces?
Definition
some (galvanic skin response to measure a person's autonomic response)
Term
V1
Definition
primary visual cortex
Term
damage to V1 above/below calcarine fissure
Definition
blindness in opposite side
Term
V4
Definition
color vision
Term
damage to V4
Definition
achromatopsia (black and white/grey vision)
Term
apperceptive agnosia
Definition
cannot copy object but can draw from memory
Term
associative agnosia
Definition
cannot draw picture from memory, but can copy it

better at recognizing living things vs. non-living things
Term
spatial-based neglect
Definition
ignore one whole side of vision (holistic)
Term
object-based neglect
Definition
ignore one whole side of objects (individual)
Term
Optic ataxia
Definition
when focusing on object, misses
Term
Ocular Ataxia
Definition
eyes involuntarily shift
Term
Simultagnosia
Definition
can't focus on more than one object at once
Term
Microsomatotagnosia
Definition
body parts seem bigger

usually seen in schizos or people with migraines
Term
Macrosomatotagnosia
Definition
body parts seem smaller

usually seen in patients after they have seizures
Term
damage to V5
Definition
Akinetopsia (loss of visual motion); movement is choppy/coarse like strobelights
Term
block design and hemi-damage performance
Definition
duplicate given pattern

right hemi-damage would mix up whole thing or completely fail

left hemi-damage gets a couple blocks wrong but still maintains "big picture"
Term
positive schizo
Definition
behaviors added

hallucinations, thought disorders, delusions

improves with drug treatment
Term
negative schizo
Definition
loss of behavior and large cell loss

flat affect, speech poverty, lack of initiative, anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure), social withdrawal

drug treatment ineffective
Term
paranoid schizo
Definition
delusions, hallucinations

no disorganized speech/behavior or flat affect (opposite disorganized)
Term
catatonic schizo
Definition
motor immobility or excessive, negativism/mutism, echolalia (imitate speech), echopraxia (imitate body movement)
Term
disorganized schizo
Definition
disorganized speech/behavior, flat affect, inappropriate
Term
undifferentiated type schizo
Definition
symptoms meet criterion A (at least 2 of symptoms: delusions/hallucinations/disorganized speech/catatonia/negative symptoms) but doesn't fit subtypes
Term
residual type schizo
Definition
negative symptoms w/o positive
Term
brain changes in schizo and neuroimaging
Definition
hippocampus: cellular disarray
ventricles: larger from cell loss (type II)
hypofrontality: frontal lobe less active, temporal lobe abnormal
dopamine hypothesis: schizo patient has same brain activity from audio hallucination as normal person hears things

pet scan CT scan MRI scan
Term
Locus coeruleus
Definition
wake (norepinephrine)
Term
Raphe Nucleus
Definition
sleep (serotonin)
Term
NT for REM sleep
Definition
Acetylcholine
Term
EEG waveforms and stages of sleep
Definition
Wakefulness: alpha & beta
Stage 1: Theta
Stage 2: K-complex and sleep spindles
Stage 3: Delta
Stage 4: Delta
Term
emergent stage 1 sleep vs initial stage 1 sleep
Definition
only 1 initial stage sleep (beginning of entire sleep)

emerge from deep sleep, goes back to stage 1 as emergent sleep each time
Term
functions of dreaming
Definition
consolidation - info into long term memory
forgetting - useless info
restore chemical balance in brain
Term
REM vs deep sleep
Definition
REM more important (better performance on cognition)
Term
Narcolepsy
Definition
awake straight to REM sleep

caused by losing 90% of neuropeptide in hypothalamus
Term
Cataplexy
Definition
people fall over and are paralyzed but are still conscious

triggered by random shit like throwing ball/excitement/anger/sexual)
Term
when sleep walking/night terrors occur
Definition
