The divisions of the human nervous system: central and
peripheral (somatic and autonomic), basic functions of
these divisions.
The autonomic nervous system and the fight or flight response.
The James-Lange theory of emotion.
Neuron structure and function Sensory, relay and motor neurons. Synaptic transmission: release and reuptake of neurotransmitters.
Excitation and inhibition. An understanding of how these processes interact.
Hebb’s theory of learning and neuronal growth.
Structure and function of the brain Brain structure: frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and cerebellum.
Basic function of these structures.
Localisation of function in the brain: motor, somatosensory, visual, auditory and language areas.
Penfield’s study of the interpretive cortex.
An introduction to neuropsychology Cognitive neuroscience: how the structure and function of the brain relate to behaviour and cognition.
The use of scanning techniques to identify brain functioning: CT, PET and fMRI scans.
Tulving’s ‘gold’ memory study.
A basic understanding of how neurological damage, eg stroke or injury can affect motor abilities and behaviour.
What is homeostasis? (5.1.1 Communication & Homeostasis a-c)
First lesson from 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis (spec point a-c):
(a) the need for communication systems in multicellular organisms
To include the need for animals and plants to respond to changes in the internal and external environment and to coordinate the activities of different organs.
(b) the communication between cells by cell signalling
To include signalling between adjacent cells and signalling between distant cells.
© the principles of homeostasis
To include the differences between receptors and effectors, and the differences between negative feedback and positive feedback.
