The region of the brain where sensory inputs are processed to produce the perceptual experience is (p. 36-37) 13. A subcortical structure that is important in the transmission of sensory and motor information to and from the cortex is the (p 38) 14. Which brain area serves to coordinate and fine tune motor signals? (p, 38) 15. According to the law of specific nerve energies (p. 39) 16. According to the law of specific nerve energies (p. 39) 17. Which of the following is FALSE regarding sensory organization in the brain? (p 39) 18. Which of the following is FALSE regarding the topographic organization of sensory information in the brain? (p 40) 19. Which of the following is NOT consistent with contralateral representations? (p 40) 20. The soma of a neuron is responsible for (p 41) 21. What are the many branches of a neuron that receive information from other neurons called? (p 41) 22. Molly is sitting on the bank of a stream when she feels something slippery on her foot. This information is most likely processed by Molly’s (p 42). 23. Molly is sitting on the bank of a stream when she feels something slippery on her foot. She looks down and sees a salamander crawling over her toes. The recognition of the creature as a salamander is most likely processed by Molly’s (p 42-43). 24. Molly is sitting on the bank of a stream when she feels something slippery on her foot. She looks down and sees a salamander crawling over her toes. She quickly kicks her leg out, sending the salamander falling into the stream. Molly’s reaction to the salamander was most likely processed by her (p 42-43) 25. Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of glial cells? (p 43) 26. Other than neurons, the other major cell type found in the brain is (p 43) 27. Which of the following is true of oligodendrocytes? (p 43) 28. Which of the following provides the insulating material for axons in the peripheral nervous system? (p 43) 29.

Which of the following do NOT occur with the action potential? (p 46) 39. The tiny gap that exists at the junction where two neurons meet is called the __________. (p 48) 40. Neurotransmitters are (p 48) 41. Which of the following is NOT true about the receptors on the postsynaptic neuron? (p 48) 42. One consequence of hyperpolarization is that the postsynaptic neuron is (p 49) 43. One reason that coding stimulus location for vision and touch is so automatic and effortless is because (p 50) 44. The receptive field is defined as (p 50) 45. A receptive field is always located on (p 50) 46. The brain can code for differences in stimulus intensity by (p 50-51) 47. Sensory adaptation occurs when (p 51) 48. Examining the firing of a neuron in the visual cortex of a cat by presenting different visual stimuli while a thin electrode records any electrical changes in that neuron is called (p 52) 49.
