A reflex arc happens rapidly because the following neuron is skipped during the communication. a. sensory b. interneuron c. effector O d. motor

Response to a stimulus within the central nervous system differs from that of a reflex arc because  a. Depolarization deos not occur along the reflex arc b. No acetylcholine is released in the central nervous system c. There is no interpretation of the information within the reflex arc d. Nerve impulses travel in the central nervous system at a greater speed

The part of the brain in which the reticular formation can be found is called the  a. metencephalon b. myelencephalon c. mesencephalon d. diencephalons

Which nucleus in the thalamus is part of the limbic system? a. VA b. VPL c. VPM d. Anterior

1. Describe Dr. LeDoux's Emotional Pathways a. Emotional stimulus>sensory thalamus>lateral nucleus of the amygdala>emotional response b. Emotional stimulus>sensory thalamus>neocortex>lateral nucleus of the amygdala>emotional response c. Emotional stimulus>sensory thalamus> >emotional response d. a & b 2. Bobby was hiking through the forest until he stopped and smelled the scent of a campfire. If we were to look at his brain, where would the olfactory nerve project in the amygdala? a. Basal nucleus b. Medial nucleus c. Lateral nucleus d. Central nucleus

Which experimental technique would be most helpful in mapping the function of the cells in the primary motor cortex?     Select one: a. electrical stimulation b. cortical lesions c. Golgi stain d. intracellular recording  e. immunohstochemistry/immunocytochemistry

Dreams occur during   A. non-REM sleep only.   B. REM sleep only.   C. alpha EEG states.   D. both REM and non-REM sleep.

Which brain region involved in action control is incorrectly paired with its function?          a.  Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) - Plans and coordinates internal thoughts and external actions    b.  Cerebellum - Motor learning, monitor action online, coordinates the timing and trajectory of movement    c.  Frontal Eye Fields (FEF) - Execution of voluntary eye movements    d.  Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) - Responds to observed and self-enacted action

The reflex arc is the fastest way the body has to move a body part from danger or away from the source of pain. Have you ever noticed your own reflex response? Did you notice that you felt the pain after you yanked your hand away from the source of pain? Which is the sequence of structures involved in a reflex response? a. motor neurons → effectors → brain → sensory neurons → interneurons b. effectors → sensory neurons → brain → motor neurons c. sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons → effectors d. sensory neurons → motor neurons → interneurons → effectors
