Consciousness Check
While many people describe multi-staged occurrence as a loss of consciousness, it's more accurate to say that it is a decrease in someone's level of consciousness. Though common, it's likely you should do it more than you do!
What is Sleep?
This is the general name for any cell that deals with mental or sensory signals. Whether it's a brain cell, or a cell down in your toes, if it transmits information through the body, it's one of these.
What are Neurons?
If it now takes someone much more of the same substance to reach a particular feeling, then they have developed a high amount of this.
What is Tolerance?
While we often think of our ears as the visible things on the side of the head, the cells that finally turn sounds into nervous signals our brains can work with are these, located deep in the inner ear.
What are Hair Cells?
When I thought that my dog was crying in her kennel, left my room to check, and realized she was not crying at all, this would describe the mistake that I made. (It turned out to be a sound effect in a game I was playing.)
What is a False Alarm?
This refers not just to being aware, but to several different abilities we associate with being alive and human. Such as reacting to things, being aware of our thoughts, or even aware of ourselves.
What is Consciousness?
This is the portion of a nerve cell that releases chemical signals to other nerve cells.
What is the Axon Terminal?
This kind of drug or medicine increases the activity of a specific Neurotransmitter in the brain.
What is an Agonist?
This portion of the ear is only there to alter sound waves, not detect or process them.
What is the Outer Ear?
If you think your friend is late, not to dinner, but to accomplish things in their life, then this list of age-related tasks is what you think they are behind on.
What is the Social Clock?
This is the slower, more powerful, deliberate system from the Dual Process Theory of thought.
What is System 2?
If a portion of the brain would not be visible to the naked eye (assuming the brain in question is not in a skull) then that particular structure would be described as this
What is Subcortical?
If a specific substance causes someone to experience sensations that are not coming from stimuli in the outside world, it would be called this.
What is a Hallucinogen?
This is the question your brain is trying to answer by comparing which ear a sound is higher or lower in.
What is Where? (where the sound is)
This is something true about both marriage and having children that makes comparing those that have done it and those that haven't difficult. At least assuming no arranged marriages are involved.
What is being Voluntary?
This form of Consciousness describes someone being able to process and react to stimuli, while also considering or even talking about their own mental state.
What is Full Consciousness?
This is the specific portion of the brain that is most responsible for visual information. It's funny that it's so far from the eyes.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
This describes why someone would feel, internally, that they could not stop using a substance. Even though their body would not actually be harmed by stopping.
What is Psychological Dependence?
This part of the ear is full of fluid. Even if you haven't gone swimming recently.
What is the Cochlea?
Your friend may be surprised when you don't notice that they switched out your cup when you leaned under the table, but this phenomenon explains missing such a swap perfectly. After all, that's not usually how cups work. At least around people you trust.
What is Change Blindness?
This trait of consciousness helps explain why we miss things we are not looking for. Remember that Pedestrians, Motorcycles, and Cars are not the same thing!
What is Selectivity?
A specific nervous cell is this kind only if it receives information from a cell that is detecting the outside world. Not if it gets information from another nerve cell.
What is a Sensory Neuron?
This stimulant may technically lead to an increase in certain brain activity, but produces very little "high" if any at all. It's mostly hard to stop using due to Negative Reinforcement.
What is Nicotine?
This property of a wave affects the sounds we hear quite a bit; specifically altering the pitch.
What is the Frequency?
This is a substance used to communicate between multiple different Neurons. Not within a single one!
What is a Neurotransmitter?
