biological approach

The brain is made up of neurons that are described as:

• White matter

• Grey matter

• Black matter

• Colourless matter

Which is not one of the three main types of neurons in the brain?

• Motor neurons

• Sensory neurons

• Mirror neurons

• Energy neurons

The corpus callosum divides the brain into two...

This is the area of the brain believed to be the localised centre for threat detection.

• Hippocampus

• Broca's area

• Amygdala

• Corpus callosum

EEG stands for...

• Extremely Exquisite eGg.

• Electroencephalography

• Electronexitationography

• Enciphalencephalography

Which brain imaging technique(-s) can be used to study localisation?

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

• Computer tomography (CT)

• Naturalistic observation

• Positron emission tomography (PET)

Which methods can be used to study the brain in humans.

• Lesioning

• fMRI

• Genetic Analysis

• Post-mortem brain analysis and dissection

What refers to the theory that a given function is localised in specific areas of the brain?

What are the advantages of animal research.

• Can conduct research that would be unethical to humans.

• Brain structures of humans and animals are similar.

• Environmental imputs are different for animals and humans.

• The genetic code differs between them.

What are the disadvantages of brain imaging technology.

• Rely heavily on computation.

• Less invasive than exploratory surgery.

• Allow observation of healthy functioning brain.

• Allows for diagnosis of diseases.
