You need to make the bear think you are a threat by looking big and speaking to it. a) Which part of the nervous system has been activated, specifically. b) Name two organs/tissues that will be activated/ receive blood. c) Name two organs/tissue that will be deactivated/ have blood diverted.
Following a stroke Dr. Z was unable to recognize the members of his family when shown their portrait.  It was different when he was in their physical presence, because then if he heard them speak or saw them move in particular ways he could identify them.  Where is the most likely site of brain damage?   Question 3 options:   A)  Ventral pathway from V1 to the fusiform gyrus   B)  Ventral pathway from V1 to amygdala   C)  Dorsal pathway from V1 to motor cortex   D)  Primary visual (V1) cortex
In PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?
