Questions with Complete Solutions
Dynamic system theory - Answer-any system, including the human nervous system, can
be studied at various levels of analysis
Nonlinear dynamic - Answer-the whole can be understood by the sum of the parts
Microscopic - Answer-molecules & cells in the nervous system (otoliths)
Mesoscopic - Answer-groups of cells linked together in various systems (vestibular
system)
Macroscopic - Answer-the whole human interacting in their environment (child swinging)
Distributed control - Answer-at any one time, the nervous system coordinates many
different activities (taking notes in the classroom)
Adaptation - Answer-the human nervous system is able to change which can lead to
changes in behavior; it can be shaped by the environment
Neuro-occupation - Answer-reciprocal relationship between the nervous system and
occupation
Localization of function - Answer-particular structures in the nervous system can loosely
be tired to particular functions
Topographical organization - Answer-the brain can loosely be compared to a map
(homunculus)
Brodmann's areas - Answer-classification system which uses numbers to label
individual areas of cortex that are cellularly similar
Hemispheric specialization - Answer-each hemisphere of the brain is connected to
some specific function (lang on left for most people)
Phylogenetic layers - Answer-most newer parts of our brain are located at the top of our
head and the more primitive parts located deeper and lower

corresponds to right side of body and vise versa (cerebellum= major exception)
Neuroscience - Answer-the quest to understand the nervous system to advance the
understanding of human thought, emotion, & behavior
