Episode Four Briefing: Mission Log Teacher Version TEACHER DIRECTIONS: Ask students to complete the right-hand column as they move through the game. Answers are provided here, but Page 9 has a master that can be copied for students as a handout. Question Answer You enter the story with Beta and Delta on a mission to find out how the brain is involved in feeling pleasure and pain. Whose lab are you trying to enter? Dr. Morpheus’ Beta discovers Dr. Morpheus’ holographic record on the nervous system. What part of the system carries signals from the brain to the body? spinal cord From the hologram, you learn about a part of the nervous system that is involved in speech, movement, and experiencing pleasure and pain. What is this part? brain From the hologram, you learn that the body contains a network of nerves that it uses to send information to the brain. What are these nerves called? peripheral nerves From the hologram, you learn about cells that can both send and receive signals. What is the name of these cells? nerve cells OR neurons After Eureka is powered up, you learn that she contains information on how the nervous system works. She shows you “The Case of the Telltale Frog Heart: A Neuroscience Mystery.” After completing the mystery, you learn that, in the nervous system, signals are sent electrically and _______. chemically After “The Case of the Telltale Frog Heart,” you find that a scientist was awarded a Nobel Prize for demonstrating the function of neurotransmitters. Who was this scientist? Eureka tries to explain the effect of opioids on the brain by showing how endogenous opioids act in the Reward Pathway. Otto Loewi True or False: Endogenous opioids are also released during a painful situation in order to decrease the amount of pain. True True or False: Morphine binds to the same receptors as endogenous opioids and, therefore, activates the reward pathway. True Conclusions: Why do endogenous opioids and opiate drugs have similar effects? Both endogenous opioids and opiate drugs bind to the same receptors, those involved in the pleasure and pain-relieving pathways in the brain.
