What part of the brain are most sensory areas located?
The hands, lips, tongue and genitals have the largest sensory representations. The hands, lips and mouth area also have the largest motor area representation. For more information on this, use the keywords "sensory and motor homunculi"
What do you use more your temporal lobe or your occipital lobe?
You use your temporal lobe more for functions like processing auditory information, language comprehension, and memory. Your occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information and is used more for tasks like recognizing shapes, colors, and objects.
What neurotransmitter is most affected by nicotine and how does tobacco affect the neurotransmitter?
Nicotine primarily affects the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. When nicotine enters the body through tobacco use, it binds to acetylcholine receptors in the brain, leading to increased release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine, which contributes to the pleasurable effects associated with smoking. Over time, chronic nicotine use can lead to changes in the brain's reward system, which can contribute to addiction and dependence.
How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site?
Acetylcholine is primarily inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, which are then taken back up by the presynaptic terminal for further use in neurotransmitter synthesis. This inactivation process allows for the rapid termination of acetylcholine signaling and helps maintain proper neurotransmitter balance in the synapse.
What is a cerebrum?
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain that allows you to think, make decisions, imagine, etc. It contains about 10 billion neurons, and about 50 trillion synapse. The surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, composing of 6 layers of neurons (nerve cells), which is above white pathways. There are also ridges called gyri (singular: gyrus) and valleys called sulci (singular: sulcus). Some Sulci are long and are convenient boundaries between 4 areas of the cerebrum called lobes. The furthest forward is called the frontal lobe and is the most important because of its use for intelligence. http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/genpsycerebrum.HTML
What neurotransmitter might the parietal lobe use and why?
The parietal lobe primarily uses neurotransmitters such as glutamate and GABA. Glutamate is excitatory and involved in processing sensory information, while GABA is inhibitory and helps regulate the activity of glutamate to maintain a balance in neural signaling within the parietal lobe.

How might psychologists use drugs that mimic the effects of neurotransmitters to treat psychological disorders?
psychologists use drugs like high drugs which alerts our minds in unconscious behavior and these mimic the effect of neurotransmitter in our body
What part of the brain use smell?
Frontal Lobe
Which part of the brain perceives the sense of sight?
The thalamus, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe all play parts in visual perception. Most of the processing of visual information occurs in the occipital lobes. If you want to find out if you are left occipital lobe oriented or right occipital lobe orientated, you can try this simple experiment. With both eyes open, look at a small spot on a wall or ceiling across the room from you. Then use one hand and touch the thumb and index fingers together and hold it about arm's length away in front of you and then place the circle you made with your fingers over the spot and alternate closing one eye at a time. You will notice that you can only see the spot with one eye open. It will be the left or the right eye. This shows your dominant vision tendency and whether you prefer to use your left or right eye more.
How do you use commission in a sentence?
the plane was out of commission
Is the frontal lobe of the brain used when driving a motor vehicle?
yes of course, our frontal lobe helps us in thinking, and while driving we obviously think....don't we...so we use our frontal lobe.. while driving.
What part of the brain do you use when doing math?
The left lobe of your brain is the part of the brain you use to do math.
Which is better to get your ears pierced at Claire's or La Lobe?
use Claire's (from experience)
What part of the brain helps to decide what words to use in your speech?
the frontal lobe
Why symphatethic also use acethylcholine?
The sympathetic nervous system uses the neurotransmitter in the fight or flight repsonse
