fibers of many neurons?• Answer• What is Myelin Sheath!
Back
Neural Process: 400
• Question:• Neurotransmitter enabling muscle action,
learning, and memory?• Answer• What is Acetecholine (Ach)!
Back
Neural Process: 600
• Question:• Molecule similar enough in structure to mimic
the effect of a neurotransmitter.• Answer• What is an Agonist!
Back
Neural Process: 800
• Question:• Excitatory signals minus inhibitory signals and
exceeding a minimum intensity? (The minimum amount of stimulation needed for neural firing)
• Answer• What is Threshold!
Back
Neural Process: 1000
• Question:• Neurotransmitter influencing movement,
learning, attention, and emotion?• Answer• What is Dopamine!
Back
Brain Parts: 200
• Question:• An area at the rear of the frontal lobes that
controls voluntary movements?• Answer• What is the Motor Cortex!
Back
Brain Parts: 400
• Question:• The base of the brainstem controlling
heartbeat and breathing?• Answer• What is the Medulla!
Back
Brain Parts: 600
• Question:• Influences hunger, thirst, body temperature,
and sexual desire? (Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll!)
• Answer• What is the Hypothalamus!
Back
Brain Parts: 800
• Question:• Visual cortex, angular gyrus, Wernicke’s area,
Broca’s area, and motor cortex are involved in what type of processing?
• Answer• What is Language!
Back
Brain Parts: 1000• Question:• A condition resulting from surgery that
isolates the brain’s two hemispheres by cutting the fibers connecting them?
• Answer• What is Split Brain!
Back
Genetics: 200
• Question:• Complete instructions for making an
organism?• Answer• What is a Genome!
Back
Genetics: 400
• Question:• The study of the relative power and limits of
genetic and environmental influences on behavior? (Study of genetic and environmental influences on behavior?)
• Answer• What is Behavior Genetics!
Back
Genetics: 600
• Question:• A complex molecule containing the genetic
information that makes up the chromosomes?• Answer• What is DNA!
Back
Genetics: 800
• Question:• A random error in gene replication that leads
to a change? (Red hair is an example of this)• Answer• What is Mutation! (Red-headed mutants!)
Back
Genetics: 1000
• Question:• The extent to which variation among individuals
in attributable to their differing genes?• Answer• What is Heritability!• Ex) If the heritability of height is 90%, this DOES
NOT mean a woman can attribute 54 inches to genes and the other 6 to environment!
Back
Neural Systems: 200
• Question:• The body’s speedy, electrochemical
communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems?
• Answer• What is Nervous System!
Back
Neural Systems: 400
• Question:• The sensory and motor neurons that connect
the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body?
• Answer• What is Peripheral Nervous System! (PNS)
Back
Neural Systems: 600
• Question:• The part of the peripheral nervous system that
controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs? (Hint: it has 2 divisions)
• Answer• What is Autonomic Nervous System!
Back
Neural Systems: 800
• Question:• System that increases heart rate, blood
pressure, blood glucose, perspirations, and slows digestion?
• Answer• What is Sympathetic Nervous System!
Back
Neural Systems: 1000
• Question:• System that calms the body, decreasing heart
rate, blood pressure, blood glucose, and perspirations?
• Answer• What is Parasympathetic Nervous System!
Back
Miscellaneous: 200

Back
Miscellaneous: 400
• Question:• A branch of psychology concerned with the
links between biology and behavior? (Think behavioral neuroscientist, neuropsychologist, behavior geneticist, physiological psychologist, or biopsychologist!)
• Answer• What is Biological Psychology!
Back
Miscellaneous: 600
• Question:• A simple, automatic response to a sensory
stimulus, such as the knee-jerk response?• Answer• What is a Reflex!
Back
Miscellaneous: 800
• Question:• Endocrine system’s master gland?• Answer• What is the Pituitary Gland! Under the
influence of the hypothalamus, it regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
Back
Miscellaneous: 1000
• Question:• A technique for revealing blood flow and,
therefore, brain activity by comparing successive MRI scans?
• Answer• What is an fMRI! (functional MRI)
Back
