ntroduction to Psychology

Prof Dr Mfit Uur

What is Psychology
Psychoylogy is the science which defines human
behavior and human cognitive functions scientifically.
Animals also have psychologies. ( they think ,dream etc).
Behaviors are main topics.
How we lough ,become angry or feel happy.

Branches of psychology

Clinical psychology

School psychology

Counselling psychology

ndustrial psychology

Experimental psychology

Social psychology

Developmental psychology

Psychometric psychology

Forerunners of psychology
Wundt-introspection
Freud ego
Watson-behavior
Adler- self psyc
Jung-collec sub con.
Erich Fromm - Environment family.

Wundt Psychology
Focused on perception of sensations,
According to him human pschology was ones
conciousness about the surrounding.
Colour vision perception
Tactile perception
Time perception
He defined the method of ntrospection in which one
was feeling the events ,than lived the events, than make
some assumptions about what he has done.
He worked on reaction time and related perceptions.He
also calculated reaction time duration under different
circumstances.

Freud Psychology
He lived during 1856-1939,
He proposed the theories of Psyhoanalytical psychiatry,
n this psyhoanalytical psychiatry ,Freud worked mainly on
subconciousness,
According to him these subconcious material was
resulting in specific human behaviors,
Humans ego was in the need of continuos gratification
need.
Repressed material to subconcious results in our
involuntary movementes ,stammerings, stutterings
speeches and dreams
His theories mainly based on id- ego and superego
dynamics.

Watson Psychology
According to him psychology was human behaviors Heredity does not have adequate effects on human
behaviors,
Human behaviors are regulated by the environment.
Hereditary characters and insincts were not so important
To him all behaviors must be fully measurable
Test groups must be evaluated objectively and their
evaluations must be considered with control groups.
Watson psychology was named under Behavioral
psychology.

Adler Psychology
His theories are mainly based on one superiority
His proposals are that ego always wants to be superior
in the environment
This feeling of superiority sometimes motivates the
behavior but sometimes if expectations are to much ,
this can cause some disasters in ones living
So expectations must be in balance

Jung- Fromm psychology


Jung has postulated some theories on the collective
subconcious.
All nations have collective motivations whether they live
in America or in Africa or in Asia
These motivations stem from one origin which is in the
deep parts of the subconcious
Fromm postulates:
Family is important,
Love and gratification is important,
Courage are important motives so family interactiorns
are important.

Frontal lobe

Posterior border : Sulcus centralis


Medial border : Fissura longitudinalis superior
Bottom :Sylvian fissure

t regulates the sensory and motor inputs and makes the associations
between them

Subparts of the lobe:


Medial prefrontal cortex
Lateral prefrontal cortex
Orbitofrontal cortex

Prefrontal Korteks

Prefrontal cortex

Medial prefrontal cortex


Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Limbic lobe ( Regulates affect of the behaviors,drives, instincts,motivations)

Lateral Prefrontal cortex


Regulates the executive functions of the frontal lobe
Regulates the high ordered behaviors
Regulates to form plans and regulates its aplications to daily life

Orbitofrontal cortex
t regulates the conditioned reflexes

Prefrontal korteks

Parietal lobe

t is located posteriorly of the frontal lobe

t colects the sensory inputs from the body or from the environment
t makes resolutions about their meanings
t gathers the input from the surrounding together
t gives a rational meaning to them
t stores the knowledge about them
t controls the executive functions of the frontal lobe and executes them in a
rational way

Temporal lobe

t is dorsallay sorrunded by fissura longituoinalis superior,


its inferomedial border is hippocampus,
Below the temporal lobe amygdala and uncus is located.

t is the association are of auditory signals from the surrounding,


t regulates the auditory signals from the environment ,
Regulates the memory and signals from the surrounding is encoded by it
Associates the speech ve visual signals and behaves ( speakes) according
to these signals
Regulates the affective signals of the surrounding , so speech is also related
with the affective tone of the stimuli

Occipital lobe

Occipital lobe is mainly related with visual signals from the surrounding, and
visual signals project to the calcarine fissure which is on the occipital lobe,

So it is the main visual projection area of the brain


t also makes asssociations between the figures;
colour
Shape
Movement

t is also important in longitudinal dimensional perception

Occipital lobe is important ,it makes associations between the speech and
object relations

Parieto temporal cortex

t makes associations between auditory signals, visual signals and


somatosensorial signals
t is important in multidimensional perception

t is also important in the regulation of speech and also regulates abstract


thinking and abstract speech.

mportant in problem solving

mportant in the resolution of the confused cognitive processes

Cerebral cortex

t regulates the motor and and sensory signals of the brain


Most important motor regulatory center is Broca center and its pathology
lasts speech arrest and it is called Motor aphasia
Most important sensory center is the wernicke center and its pathology is
related with sensorial aphasia. So the patient can not find words to speak
Agraphia is resembling the pathology in which sensorial thinking can not be
written as words
Alexia resembles the pathology in which the patient does not uhderstand
what he reads
Acalculia resembles not having the ability to make calculations
Agnosia is the pathology in which one cannot recognize objects with closed
eye either with touching or grasping it.

Prefrontal cortex

t is located in the frontal lobe anteriorly,

Makes regulations between the inputs from the surrounding so the persons
behavior will be socially adaptive. This is called Regulations of the insight.

Maintains optimum arrousal for adequate interpersonal relations,object


relations

mportant in accumulation of attention to a specific target person or an object

t measures the signals from the surrounding and also decides their probable
end results or the risk of the situation.

t provides elasticity in our thinking and behaviors towards others

Basal ganglia

t makes up the extrapyramidal system and it is located subcortically.


ts main purpose is to regulate and control our involuntary movements
n case of Chorea spontaneous involuntary movements of the extremites of
the body
Athetozis some involuntary movements are out of control especially in the
hand and the fingers
Ballismus is the involuntary spasms of the extremities of the body
Rigidity is the increase in the tonus of the muscles so the muscles cannot
make any movement
Bradykinesia is the slowing down of the movements of the extremites,
ts pathologies result in;

Wilson disease
Parkinsons disease
Huntingtons chorea
Sydenhams chorea
schizophrenia

Thalamus

t is important in the regulation of the cortical and subcortical stimulations and


making adequate associatns between them,
Regulates and directs attention towards the target objects,
t is important in filtering the sensory stimulation of the real world and picks
up the most important ones whereas neglecting the others,
Produces motor responses in associaton to the signals from the
surrounding,
Supports cortical and subcortical circuits for a healthy cognitive activity.
n its pahological conditions;

Perseverations
rrelevant speech content
Apathy
Amnestic states
Personality disorders
Disordered executive functions
Denial
Aphasic conditions
Schizophrenia

Orbitofrontal Korteks

Hypocampus

t is located medially of the temporal cortex and is situated


subcortically,
t main purpose is to regulate;
Memory
ts pathology is related with psychiatric disorders

Hypocampus

Limbic lobe

Most important part is the amygdala besides hiypocampus

t regulates the behaviors in the following aspects;

Learning and memory


Food seeking
Desires for Sexual intercourse
Ability to find the child in animals
To feel the danger in the environment
To make defense towards an unwanted condition
To make a plan for an attack towards an unwanted target

n its pathological states


rregular fers, stres conditions,anxiety feelings(PTSD,phobic ,panicdisorder
Epilepy
Memory disorders like Deja vu.

Amygdala

nsula

t is important in sensory and motor associations


mportant in pain perception
ts pathology makes speech disorders
Can not show emotions towards others
Memory loss is important
Faces with disgust., sadness and fear in the persons can only be
perceived in intact insula
Conditioned reflexes toward fears is reguleted by it
Phobic anxiety symptoms,
To understand the meanings of mimics which do not give any pleasure
To understand hunger
To categorize all the above symptoms according to their sev erity

Gyrus Cingulus

Gyrus Cinguli

t evaluates the sensory and affective values of the stimuli from the
surrounding, whether it gives pleasure or discomfort to the person,

mportent in the regulation of;

Fear
Euphoric states
Depression
Sexuality
Agression

Septum

Serebellum
t controls and regulates the motor activity of the muscles
t is related in equilibrium of the body in various places
Equilibrium disturbances are;
Loss in synergic movements is called ataxic movement
Tremor and hypotonic states are due to its pathology
Nystagmus is a repated eye movement, it and means horizontal or vertical
involuntary eye movements
Motor speech disturbances are frequent
Abnormal pusture in a person is related to serebeller pathology.

Regulates conditioning
mportant in time perception
Learning is under its control
Cognitive affection is under its regulatory control
Also thinking is disturbed which we call dismetric thinking,

Brain stem
Cranial nerves originate from this area.So its pathology results in
cranial nerve palsies
Vital regulatory centers are also located here.mportant ones are;
Respiratory center,
Cardiac regulatory center ( pulse rate ),
Blood pessure center,
Center related to eye movements,
Centers related to gastric and cardiac movement,
Ascendant motor and sensorial nerves pass through this area,so
pathology which is present here disturbs the passage of the motor
and sensorial nerve signals to the above brain areas
Arrousal center which we call formatio reticularis is very close to this
area

Nervous system
Neuron is made up from
a-soma
b-dendrites
c-axon
d-terminal button
Synapse
Neurotransmitter (Ach Col,NE,Dopa,Ser,GABA,GL
Neuropeptide
Substance P

Parts of a neuron
1.

Soma

The nucleus of the neuron is in the soma


Signals come from the dendrites and the nucleus makes a decision what to
do.
The signals that are produced here goes to the periphery through the Axons
t is related with the regulatory functions

2.

Axon

They differ according to their lenghts From nm to mt,


Massages are transfered through the axon from soma to terminal button
Axons end with the terminal buttons where neurotransmitters are
synthesized.

3-

Dendrites

Bring massages to the nerve cell from the surrounding,


Makes numerous connections like a telephone network
They have the receptors which are specific to the neurotransmitters

Parts of a neuron
4-

Terminal button

They resemble the end part of the axon and have some vesicles in which
neurotransmitters are deposited
They are the end part of the neuron.

5-

Ranvier nodes

They are at the end of the myelin coated nodes on the axon.
Signals transfer on them by one node to another node in which the
velocity of signal transduction is increased
This myelin and Ranvier Nodes increase the signal velocity
f there is no myelin coat ( unmyelinated fibres) velocity is slow

6-

Synaptic cleft

t is a cleft in which neurotransmission takes place chemically


One side secretes the neurotransmitter, other side takes the response
through receptors.
They are not in physical contact with both side

Parts of a neuron
7-Receptor

They are the anotomic structures on the other side of the


synapse which arespecific for the neurotransmitters
They are stimulated by the chemicals and chemicals must be over
threshold,
When the receptor is stimulated ,the stimulus begins to travel in
the exciter neuron and this neuron is called Second Neuron.
n case of inhibitions stimuli do not progress in the second
neuron,stimulus just ends at the point of synapse where inhibition
is stimulated.
Synaptic cleft can be 1/20.000.000.000 m,
Stimulus transfer this distance to the receptor in miliseconds.
Stimulus travel through the long nerve axons at the same
period.So if the amount of synapse on the road increase ,the
period for stimulus transfer increase too much.

Neurotransmitters
1.

Excitatory neurotransmitters;
Acethylcholine
Norepinephrine
Dopamine
Seratonin
Glutamic acid

nhibitory neurotnansmitters
Gama amino butyric acid - G A B A,
Glycine ( inhibitor in the medulla spinalis)

Neuropeptides
1.

2-

Opioid peptides
Encephalines (leu encephaline-met encephalines)
Beta endorphines
Dynorphines
Substance P
Opioid peptides block their receptors

3-

Acupuncture

Placebo effects

Neural impulse

When the neuron is at rest its potential is called the resting potential.nside
and outside difference is 70mv.

At this point intracellual Na ions move quickly to the extracellular


compartment.Pozitive charges increase outside the cell (Resting potential).

ntracelluar compartment becomes more negatively charged .Difference is


the resting potential.

When the nueuron is excited with neurotransmitters,Na ions quickly begin to


move inward to the intracellular compartment, so extracelluar compartment
loses positive charges and becomes negatively charged as compared to
intracellular compartment. (Depolarization)

K ions begin to move outward to extracelluar compartment. This period is


Repolarization.

Action potential

Action potential has three phase resting-depolarization and repolarization


periods
This period is about a millisecond in duration.
Refractory period is the period in which the nerve cell can not be stimulated
with the consecutive stimuli. At that point the nerve cell is already polarized
buk not repolarized yet. Without polarization, depolarization is not possible.
Theshold: it is the amount of minimal energy that is required for the cell to
be stimulated. Below threshold stimuli is not effective. Overthreshold stimuli
stimulates the neurons.
When over threshold stimuli makes stimulation, the nerve is stimulated in
the same way as it is stimulated with a high threshold stimuli. Once
stimulated stimulation progresses even it is weak or high (All or None Law).
When we stimulate our skin with a cotton we feel a sensation, but when we
stimulate the skin with a hammer we fell more than a stimulation like pain,
because with hammer more than one nerve cell is stimulated.
