COGNITIVE SCIENCE EXAM 2 WITH 100% CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS. GRADE A+ ASSURED. LATEST 2024-2025
1. Which 19th-century scientist suggested that the frontal lobe contributes to
language and speech production?: Broca
2. The neuroanatomist who described 52 distinct cortical areas based on cell
structure and arrangement, and whose classification scheme is often used today,
was: Brodmann
3. The Gestalt psychologists argued that: percepts are best understood in relation to a
stimulus's emergent properties
4. The two main classes of cell in the nervous system are: neurons and glial cells
5. Two main types of projections extend from the cell body of a neuron. ________
receive inputs from other neurons, while ________ send information to other
neurons.: Dendrites / axons
6. Which of the following imaging techniques would be best for visualizing a skull
fracture?: CT (computed tomography)
7. This neuroimaging technique combines X-ray pictures taken from many
different angles into a compressed two-dimensional representation of the
brain.: CT (computed tomography)
8. Which of the following neuroimaging techniques involves manipulating the
orientation of hydrogen atoms?: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
9. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI): is performed with an MRI scanner but measures
the density and motion of water contained in axons
10. The technique known as ________ can be used to induce virtual lesions in
humans.: TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation)
11. Which of the following is an advantage of MEG (magnetoencephalography)
over EEG (electroencephalography)?: With MEG, the magnetic fields are not
distorted by the skull.
12. Which neuroimaging technique involves injecting an isotope of oxygen into the
bloodstream and using it to measure regional cerebral blood flow?: -
PET
13. The human brain is_____: Intelligent, Adaptive Conscious, Information Processor.
14. Neurons are____: the basic unit of the nervous system; very distinct from one
another.
15. Neural Communication makes up:: -Neurophysiology
-Neurochemistry
16. Neurophysiology:: electrical within neuron.
17. Neurochemistry:: chemical across neurons.

18. Neurons can_____: be complex interplay of signals and ultra-complex telegraph
system.
19. Prototypical Neuron:: Motor output (pyramidal) neurons of cortex.
20. Dendrites:: Appendages of the neuron that contain neurotransmitter receptor sites;
collect incoming signals from other neurons.
21. Cell Body:: integration of incoming signals, imitation of signals to other neurons.
22. Axon:: Appendage of the neuron that connects at the axon hillock and carries action
potentials to the synapses.
23. Neuron: A cell that carries information through the nervous system.
24. Dendrites: Collect incoming signals from other neurons.
25. Myelin Sheath: Fatty covering of an axon formed by a specialized glial cell
wrapping around the axon. Acts to insulate axons to make action potentials
propagate faster, reduce the metabolic requirements of the neuron, and reduce cross-
talk between axons.
26. Soma Cell Body: Main part of a cell; integration of incoming signals and initiation
of signal to other neurons.
27. Hillock: Place on the neuron cell body that connects to the axon and that triggers an
action potential.
28. Axon Terminal: An end branching of the axon that usually forms a synapse with the
dendrites of another neuron, but other connections are possible.
29. Prototypical Neuron: Motor Output- (Pyramidal); neurons of cortex.
30. Frontal Lobe: A region of the cerebral cortex that has specialized areas for
movement, abstract thinking, planning, memory, and judgement (executive function,
working memory, olfaction)
31. Temporal Lobe: A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing and
language. (Object Identification, primary/secondary auditory cortex, memory, emotion)
32. Cerebellum: Motor control and timing structure attached to the back of the brainstem
and sitting below the occipital lobe.
33. Occipital Lobe: A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.
(Visual)
34. Parietal Lobe: A region of the cerebral cortex whose functions include processing
information about touch. (Somatosensory, visual/spatial, interacting with objects)
35. Cerebral Veins: One of the major veins within the skull
36. Arachnoid Layer: Second deepest layer; contains major vessels for the brain,
connective tissue; thicker than the pia mater.
37. When people open their eyes_____: they perceive instantly and effortlessly the
location, shape, and other attributes of the objects before them.
