Biopsychology Exam Questions With Correct Answers Briefly outline how excitation and inhibition are involved in synaptic transmission (4) - answer• Neurotransmitters can be excitatory or inhibitory (most can be both but GABA is purely inhibitory). • If the neurotransmitter is excitatory then the post synaptic neuron is more likely to fire an impulse. • If the neurotransmitter is inhibitory then the post synaptic neuron is less likely to fire an impulse. • The excitatory and inhi...

Unit 4 VCE Psychology Sleep Verified Solutions REM Is a period of sleep where your eyes move rapidly, for short bursts of time. NREM 1 It is a very light sleep from which we can be easily awakened. NREM 2 At this stage it is still fairly easy to be woken up at this stage, despite being a deeper stage of sleep then NREM 1. NREM 3 During this stage we become less responsive to external stimuli and more difficult to awaken. NREM 4 This stage is the deepest sleep and it is extremely diff...

A01 AND A03 NOTES: The effect of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers on the sleep/wake cycle.

A01 AND A03 CONCISE NOTES Biological Rhythms: Explore the fascinating realm of biological rhythms, including circadian, infradian, and ultradian rhythms. I highlight the differences between these rhythms and examine the impact of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers on the sleep/wake cycle. Understanding the influence of internal and external factors on our biological rhythms is crucial to comprehending human behaviour and
