NSCI 175 Final Exam
molecular level of analysis - Answer-allows neurons to communicate, sentries that control what
material enters/leaves neurons, conductors that orchestrate neuron growth, archivists of past
experiences
cellular level of analysis - Answer-focuses on how all these molecules work together to give neurons
their special proteins
systems level of analysis - Answer-neurons form complex circuits that perform a common function
behavioral level of analysis - Answer-how do systems work together to produce integrated behaviors
cognitive level of analysis - Answer-how do these neural mechanisms result in self-awareness,
imagination, language, thinking
observation - Answer-watching the world around, from introspection of clinical cases
replication - Answer-repeating the experiment on different subjections or making similar observations
in different patients as many times as necessary to rule out the possibility of chance
