This part of the motor neuron is responsible for receiving messages from other cells.
What are dendrites.
This brain connector is responsible for the left and right brain communicating with each other.
What is the corpus callosum.
This explains the genetic transfer of characteristics from parents to their offspring.
What is heredity.
See, this lobe is responsible for two very specific senses. You hear me?
What is the occipital lobe.
Nike once had an inline skate named after this chemical. Fitting, inline skating actually help produce this.
What are endorphins.
This guy acts as like a middle man between the cell body and other neurons, muscles, or glands. Don't worry, he doesn't get a cut of the deal.
What is an Axon.
LeBron James has assembled numerous super teams over his almost 20 year career. The thoughts and movements he has had to master at building super teams has become almost second nature to him. This summer, an fMRI was hooked up to him while assembling the super team. When a doctor performs an fMRI test on him in the doctor's office, asking him how to assemble a super team, the brain lights up similarly to when he actually performs the act. This study is known as what?
What is cognitive neuroscience
When a set of babies are created from a single fertilized egg that split into two, creating two genetically identical babies. (We will not accept identical twins)
What are monozygotic twins.
This lobe is responsible for the general senses.
What is the Parietal Lobe.
Lack of serotonin is contributed to this mood disorder. But don't confuse it with just being sad.
What is depression.
This acts as protection for the axon. And as a bonus, this thing also helps speed up the process.
What is the myelin sheath.
Your brain will process things based on how routine or how new and difficult it is. 2+2 is a type of this processing, while quantum physics is this type of processing.
What are parallel and sequential processing.
The number of chromosomes you receive from your mother and your father, typically.

What are EEG, MEG, PET, CT/CAT, MRI, fMRI.
The opposite of identical twins.
What are fraternal / dizygotic twins
The temporal lobe is responsible for auditory processing, language comprehension and this short and long term thing.
What is memory.
This chemical would really be helpful right now in calming all of you down, worried about this game. If it gets to a low level, it will definitely cause anxiety. We don't want that, now do we?
