microglia
Which cells myelinate axons in the central nervous system? oligodendrocytes
Long-term memory information processing requires that links initially established in the
hippocampus are replaced with connections in the: cerebral cortex
The divisions of the nervous system that have antagonistic or opposing actions are:
sympathetic and parasympathetic
, Prior to long-term potentiation, glutamate release into the synaptic cleft (gap) opens the NMDA
glutamate receptors, but ion movement through the channel is blocked by: Mg++
The motor (efferent) part of the autonomic nervous system: functions in the control of
smooth and cardiac muscle.
Short-term memory information processing causes changes in the: hippocampus

the input. When you see faces in objects, which part of the brain is most directly involved?
Cerebral cortex
Which of the following coordinates muscle actions? cerebellum
