    Thalamus
  2. A neurotransmitter that reduces neural activity and helps to regulate anxiety and stress levels.
    GABA
  3. the part of the nervous system composed of the brain and spinal cord, essentially the body's processing center
    Central Nervous System (CNS)
  4. part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for calming the body down after a stressful situation, often referred to as the "rest and digest" state
    Parasympathetic Nervous System
  5. the branched extensions of a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons
    Dendrites
  6. neurotransmitters released by the brain, primarily in response to pain or stress, that act as the body's natural painkillers
    Endorphins
  7. the study of how biological factors, like the brain and nervous system, influence behavior and mental processes
    Biopsychology
  8. the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, meaning it stimulates nerve cells and plays a crucial role in learning, memory, and cognitive function
    Glutamate
  9. part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for the "fight or flight" response
    Sympathetic Nervous System
  10. specific locations on the surface of a neuron where neurotransmitters bind to
    Receptor Sites
  11. where the end of one neuron meets the beginning of another neuron
    Synapse
  12. the network of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body
