What is Soma
300
Written and oral accounts of a person’s thoughts, feelings, or actions.

300
Chemicals that transmit information between neurons.
What is Neurotransmitters
400
A research sample that accurately reflects the population of people one is studying.
What is Representative Sample
400
Studies in which participants do not know the experimental condition (group) to which they have been assigned.
What is Single-Blind Studies
400
The hereditary passing on of traits determined by a single gene.
What is Monogenic Transmission

400
what is a Terminal Button?
What is Little knobs at the end of the axon that contain tiny sacs of neurotransmitters.
500
