Name: __________________________________________________________________________________ Period: _____________ Test Review: Chapter 2 Look at these questions that begin each major section of the text. Recite your answers to them aloud. Check yourself by going back to your answers in this reading guide and/or go back and reread your textbook. Make sure you can answer these questions. What is the connection between the body and mind? What are neurons and how do they transmit information? How do nerve cells communicate with other nerve cells? How do neurotransmitters influence behavior, and how do drugs and other chemicals affect neurotransmitters? What are the functions of the nervous system’s main divisions? How does the endocrine system—the body’s slower information system—transmit its messages? How do neuroscientists study the brain’s connections to behavior and mind? What are the functions of important lower-level brain structures? What functions are served by the various cerebral cortex regions? To what extent can a damaged brain reorganize itself? What do split brains reveal about the functions of our two brain hemispheres? Do you recognize these key terms? Put a star (*) by the ones you don’t recognize. the textbook and make sure you can identify & explain them.
