1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for
[+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [
as the common point of focus.
+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [
of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain.
+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to yield a [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+ [+
new synthesis. [+

4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires? Choos

A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of fluids.

B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain itself

may generate electricity.

sensations from the skin. [+ [+ [+
D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain.
