Terminal buttons

At roughly 3 weeks after conception, a group of cells forms a flat structure known as the...?

Cell body

Neural plate

Dendrites

Neurotransmitters

What brain imaging technique involves measuring the brain’s electrical activity from electrodes placed on the scalp?

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)

Electroencephalography (EEG)

Event-related potential (ERP)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

What is experience dependent growth?

It denotes changes in the brain that are not linked to specific points in development and that vary across individuals and across cultures

Over the course of evolution, human infants have typically been exposed to some forms of stimulation that are used to adjust brain wiring, strengthening some circuits and eliminating others

Young children often recover more skills after brain injury than older children and adults, apparently because functions are more easily reassigned in the young brain

early specialization of the frontal cortex is shown by the finding that damage to this region in infancy results in impaired decision making and abnormal emotional responses

__________ are supporting cells that protect the neuron

The soma

The axon terminals

The neuroglia

The dendrites

The cerebrum has two hemispheres that are connected by the _______________

Soma

Corpus callosum

Myelination

Synapse

What is the main function of the temporal lobe?

Conscious control of skeletal muscles, thinking, planning, personality and goal directed behaviour

Perception of visual stimuli

Conscious perception of touch, pressure, spatial recognition, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste

Conscious perception of auditory and olfactory stimuli, and memory

Which lobe is very important for child development?

Parietal

Frontal

Occipital

Temporal

Synapses begin to disappear and ridding the brain of under-utilized connections is an example of...?

Myelination

Synapses

Synaptic pruning

Synaptic renewing

The main function of the fMRI is to...?

Measure electrical activity/impulses

Measure electrical activity after a response to a stimuli

Measure the structural parts of your brain

Measure the activation in certain parts of the brain

What is the difference between an MRI and an fMRI?

an MRI is used to study the brain’s anatomy whereas an fMRI is used to study the functions of the brain

an fMRI is used to study the brain’s anatomy whereas an MRI is used to study the functions of the brain

An MRI is used to study the brain's electrical activity whereas an fMRI studies the functions of the brain

An fMRI is used to study the brain's electrical activity whereas an MRI studies the functions of the brain

Each hemisphere receives sensory info from and generates meter commands to the opposite side of the body. This is representative of...?

Hemispheric Localization

Hemispheric Specialization

Hemispheric Synapsing

Hemispheric Growth

Conscious perception of touch, pressure, spatial recognition, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste are the main functions of which lobe?

Frontal

Temporal

Parietal

Occipital
