Brain Imaging Techniques
This type of brain imaging shows brain waves.
What is EEG?
This part of the nerve cell is the main structure which is the cell's support center.
What is the cell body or Soma?
This is the term for the brains ability to change and adapt.
What is neuroplasticity or brain plasticity?
This neurotransmitter helps control arousal and alertness.
What is nor-epinephrine?
These neurons carry messages from the central nervous system out to the body's muscles.
What are motor neurons?
This brain imaging technique shows blood flow and chemical activity.
What is a PET Scan?
This part of the nerve cell receives messages from other cells.
What are dendrites?
These are the two types of neuroplasticity.
What are structural and functional?
This neurotransmitter affects mood, hunger, sleep and arousal.
What is serotonin?
These neurons carry messages from the body’s tissues and sensory receptors inwards to the brain.
What are sensory neurons?
This brain imaging technique is an x-ray that shows the structure of the brain.
What is a CT Scan?
This part of the nerve cell passes messages away from the cell body.
What is the axon?
This report has helped improve psychological testing and put the welfare of the subjects at the forefront of psychological study.
What is the Belmont Report?
This neurotransmitter affects movement, learning, attention, and emotion.
What is dopamine?
This nervous system allows for voluntary control of our skeletal muscles.
What is the somatic nervous system?
This type of brain imaging technique is unsurpassed in anatomical detail.
What is an MRI?
This part of the nerve cell helps speed up neural impulses.
What is the myelin sheath?
This part of the brain deals with breathing, digestion, and swallowing.
What is the brain stem?
This neurotransmitter enables muscle action, learning, and memory.
What is acetylcholine (ACh)?
This nervous system controls our glands and the muscles of our internal organs.
What is the autonomic nervous system?
This type of brain imaging is an x-ray of the blood vessels.
This part of the nerve cell forms junctions with other cells.
What are terminals or terminal branches?
This part of the brain deals with vision and color perception.
What is the occipital lobe?
This neurotransmitter is linked to seizures, tremors and insomnia when it is under supplied.
What is GABA?
CNS stands for this.
