Growth and Health
What is at the center of the neuron and contains the basic biological machinery that keeps the neuron alive?
Dendrites
Axons
Cell body
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
