This is the "spine" of the neuron
What is the Axon
100
A lobotomy damages this part of the brain
What is the frontal lobe
100
This part of the hindbrain deals with facial expressions
What are Pons
100
In an experiment, this group gets the actual medicine.
What is the Experimental Group
100

This neurotransmitter inhibits pain

What are Endorphins

200
These secrete neurotransmitters in a neuron
What are terminal buttons
200
This part of the brain makes you "HOT" and "HAPPY"
What is the Hypothalamus
200
(Latin for "little brain") is a region of the brain that plays an important role in motor control
What is the cerebellum
200
In this type of descriptive study, one observes and records what they see.
What is Naturalistic Observation
200
This neurotransmitter is associated with motor movement
What is ACh (Acetylcholine)
300
This is where neurons communicate. (the junction)
What is synapse
300
This part of the brain produces a fear response
What is the amygdala
300
We study sleep using this
What is an EEG (electroencephalagram)
300
This will prevent experimenter bias in an experiment.

What is Serotonin
400
This insulates or protects the axon

What is the Cerbral Cortex
400
This is the brain's relay station
What is the Thalamus

In doing a survey, this is how to make sure your sample is representative of the whole population.
What is Randomization
400

This neurotransmitter is involved with learning and emotional arousement

What is Dopamine

500

These neurons send signals from the brain to the glands and muscles

What are efferent neurons

500

These are four ways we study the brain

What are CT Scans, (f)MRI, Pet Scans, and EEG 

500
This part of our hindbrain deals with our heart rate, breathing, blood pressure
What is medulla
500
This is what is measured in an experiment (like anxiety, memory recall?)
What is the Dependent Variable
