QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Trepanation - Correct Answers -skull surgeries with signs of healing- intentional
hippocrates - Correct Answers -believed the brain to be seat of intelligence
aristotle - Correct Answers -believed the heart to be seat of intelligence, brain cooled
seething heart
galen - Correct Answers -cerebrum, cerebellum, ventricles, and nerves- carried humors
through the body
Descartes - Correct Answers -Mind outside brain, communcation in pineal gland
gray matter - Correct Answers -cell bodies
white matter - Correct Answers -myelinated axons
bell - Correct Answers -cut ventral root- muscle paralysis
magenDie - Correct Answers -cut Dorsal root- lose sensation
Charles BELL - Correct Answers -cereBELLum: origin of motor fibers; cerebrum:
destination of sensory fibers
Franz Joseph Gall - Correct Answers -phrenology- head shape reflects brain surface
reflects personality traits
Marie Jean Pierre Flourens - Correct Answers -experimental ablation method proved
against phrenolgoy
Paul broca - Correct Answers -Broca's area, language production in the left frontal lobe-
loss of speech, proved localization of function
Gustav Fritsch and Eduard Hitzig - Correct Answers -DOGS- electrical current =
discrete movements (last names sound like stupid names for small ugly white rat dogs)
David Ferrier - Correct Answers -MONKEYS- electrical current = discrete movements
AND removal= paralysis (david ferrier was furrier-monkeys)
, Herman Munk - Correct Answers -experimental ablation method-occipital lobe vision
regional specialization of different species - Correct Answers -Macaque- sense of sight
rats-sense of touch to face through whiskers
Charles Darwin - Correct Answers -theory of evolution- common mechanisms across
NS of diff species
Theodor Schwann - Correct Answers -cell theory- all tissues are composed of
microscopic units called cells (schwann SHells)
molecular neuroscience - Correct Answers -study of the brain at the most elementary
level- molecules inside the cell
cellular neuroscience - Correct Answers -considers distinctions among different types of
cells in the nervous system and how each cell type functions-extracellular connections
and wiring
systems neuroscience - Correct Answers -investigates groups of neurons that perform a
common function-circuits (movements, vision)
behavioral neuroscience - Correct Answers -an approach to psychology that links
psychological processes to activities in the nervous system and other bodily processes-
mood, drugs, dreams
interneurons - Correct Answers -CNS neurons that internally communicate and
intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs
Astrocytes - Correct Answers --most numerous type of glial in brain
-fill spaces in between neurons
-influence neurite growth
-regulates chemical content of extracellular space (blood brain barrier)
Microglia - Correct Answers -- Act as phagocytes, eating damaged cells and bacteria
- act as the brains immune system (clear dead cells)
cognitive neuroscience - Correct Answers -A field that attempts to understand the links
between cognitive processes and brain activity.- higher level functioning
Clinical neuroscientist - Correct Answers -treats patients, MD
experimental research neuroscientist - Correct Answers -lab, animal research, PhD, Md
or both
Theoretical research neuroscientist - Correct Answers -math and computation, PhD
