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