2 1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving as the common point of focus. B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain. C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to yield a new synthesis. 2.

Choose the correct option. A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of fluids. B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain itself may generate electricity.

The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about the spinal nerves. Choose the correct option. A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensory and motor nerves, and in each sensory and motor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way. C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid.

D) Alzheimer's disease is a severe psychotic illness characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and bizarre behavior. Page 2
4 10. A neuroscientist is investigating how different neural circuits in the brain analyze sensory information, form perceptions of the external world, make decisions, and execute movements.

A) Molecular neuroscience level B) Cellular neuroscience level C) Systems neuroscience level D) Cognitive neuroscience level 11. What is the rationale behind the use of animal models to understand the human brain? Choose the correct option. A) Animal brains are identical to human brains but only smaller in size. B) Brain mechanisms that motivate any reaction are identical in animal and human brains. C) The nervous systems of different species of animals and humans share many common mechanisms. D) Animal brains are easier to obtain than human brains. 12. How do neuroscientists identify the parts of the brain that are specialized for different behavioral functions related to the niche a species normally occupies? Choose the correct option. A) By studying the similarities in response pattern to fear in different species B) By studying neurons one at a time C) By comparing the specializations of the brains of different species D) By systematically destroying each part of the brain and studying its implication 13. At which level of analysis do neuroscientists study the different types of neurons and their functions? Choose the correct option. A) Cellular neuroscience B) Cognitive neuroscience C) Molecular neuroscience D) Behavioral neuroscience 14. What is the difference between replication and verification? Choose the correct option. A) Replication tests a hypothesis, whereas verification rechecks the hypothesis. B) Replication can only be done once, whereas verification can be done many times. C) Replication is repeating the experiment in other subjects to rule out the possibility of chance. In verification, the experiment is repeated and the same observations are obtained by any scientist following the same protocol as the original observer. D) Replication and verification are not essentially different. Page 3
5 15. Galen suggested that the cerebrum, which was soft, should be the recipient of sensations. He was of the view that to form memories, sensations should be imprinted onto the brain. Thus, this must occur in the doughy cerebrum. Although the conclusion is right, the reason suggested by Galen is incorrect. True or false? 16. Scientists during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries proposed the structure function relationship between the white matter and gray matter in the brain. According to this relationship, gray matter contained the fibers that bring information to and from the white matter. True or false? 17. Rats are considered valuable models for the effects of psychoactive drugs on the nervous system. True or false? 18. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee is formed of the animal rights representatives. True or false? 19. Scientists use a approach to understand how the brain works. In this approach, neuroscientists break a complex problem into pieces for systematic experimental analysis. 20. The process of verification, if, establishes new scientific fact or, if, suggests new interpretations for the original observation. Page 4
