Question
Answer
What is the scope of neuroscience?   show
🗑
show interconnectivity in the brain, centrality of the central nervous system, hierarchical organization of the nervous system, laterality of brain organization, functional specialization, topagraphical representation, and plasticity  
🗑
show The brain is an integrated network. Everything is connected in the brain such as structure of neurons and functions working together. Ex: not being able to see but the occipital lobe still having function and being connected to other parts  
🗑
show The CNS is the "headquarters". It integrates all incoming and outgoing info and generates appropriate responses  
🗑
show There's the highest level of the cerebral cortex and lowest level of the spinal cord. Levels based on function complexity  
🗑
show complex sensorimotor integration; higher mental functions – cognition, language, and speech  
🗑
Functions of spinal cord include:   show
🗑
show Bilateral Anatomic Symmetry, Unilateral Functional Differences, and Contralateral Sensori-Motor Control  
🗑
show 2 sides of left and right hemispheres that are structurally the same  
🗑
What does unilateral functional differences mean?   show
🗑
What does contralateral sensori-motor control mean?   show
🗑
show crossing over  
🗑
show "Specialized nerve cells and networks". Neuron for feeling pain in foot is different pathway than the one that moves it.  
🗑
show “Spatial organization of nervous system reflects spatial relationship of boldly surface functional relationships" It's a map of the brain. If you can spot damage on a part of a brain you can map symptoms and use symptoms to see if damage on part of brain  
🗑
What does plasticity mean?   show
🗑
show reorganize, modify tissue functions, repair networks, nerve regeneration. Our brains change our whole lives  
🗑
Why is plasticity important to understand for cognitive scientists?   show
🗑
Well developed and adequately connected nervous system is a prerequisite for...   show
🗑
What did Paul Broca study?   show
🗑
What did Carl Wernicke study?   show
🗑
Neuroembryology?   show
🗑
Neuroanatomy?   show
🗑
Neurophysiology?   show
🗑
Neuropathology?   show
🗑
Neuropsychology?   show
🗑
show diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders  
🗑
Neurosurgery?   show
🗑
show Imaging techniques to examine nervous system

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
