How do our brain cells talk to one another?

• The communicate with fire.

• They do not.

• The communicate with chemical messengers.

• They communicate with cellular body movements, such as facial expressions.

When we learn a task communication between cells becomes

• more difficult.

• less difficult.

• less likely to be needed.

• less audible by scientists with a stethoscope.

Why can a bad night's sleep be bad for out memory?

• Lack of sleep kills off many brain cells.

• It makes our brain unable to make fire.

• It prevents our brain from storing new memories as we sleep.

• It depletes the amount of chemicals in our brain that allows our brain to communicate properly.

When we are sleeping out brain cells

• fire in reverse

• fire with a greatly increased frequency.

• stop firing.

• no not differ in the way they fire.

Neurons make up the majority of cells in the brain.

• True

• False

What is one of the roles of the myelin sheath in the brain?

• It slows down brain signals.

• The are not part of the brain.

• It acts as traffic lights so signals don't bump into one another.

• It speeds brain signals along.
