Neuroscience - CORRECT ANSWER-is the study of the structure and function of the
brain and is a field which is making great advancements
Gray Matter - CORRECT ANSWER-The cerebellum
cerebrum,
brain stem,
and the butterfly-shaped portion of the central spinal cord is comprised of ______matter
which contains neural cell bodies, axon terminals, dendrites, and all nerve synapses.
associated with learning
Changing linked to psychiatric diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia,
and major depressive disorder
White matter - CORRECT ANSWER-contains nerve fibers that connect neurons from
different regions into functional circuits.
The myelin that coats neuronal axons is necessary for electrical impulse transmission.
Think of the white matter as a transit system. If there are breaks in the system, then
people cannot get to their destinations.
Within the brain, these breaks affect neural communication, affecting behavior.
Damage to the myelin can impair transmission which can impact not only sensory and
motor function, but also cognition
. White matter abnormalities are associated with autism and vascular dementia.
Frontal Lobes - CORRECT ANSWER-are associated with movement, intelligence,
abstract thinking. the ability to organize, personality, behavior, and emotional control.
Traumatic brain injuries can result in personality changes, difficulty controlling emotions,
and other cognitive functions.
Central Sulcus - CORRECT ANSWER-This separates the frontal lobe from the parietal
lobe.
Parietal Lobe - CORRECT ANSWER-The middle part of the brain, responsible for
proprioception, is the home of the somatic senses.
