small section of the human brain.True or false - ✔✔False
Scientists' work with single-cell recording supports the idea that mirror neurons help
us comprehend and mimic others' actions.
True or false - ✔✔True
Researchers who are studying cognitive processes can monitor only one neuron at a time.
- ✔✔False
Scientists have proved that brain activity and not the will of a conscious self is the
impetus behind human behavior. - ✔✔False
,This chapter 2 is most closely related to - ✔✔the biologically perspective
Which of the following is primarily responsible for the depolarization during action potential
maintaining the positive charge found in the extracellular space of a neuron at rest is ______. -

During an action potential, there is an exchange of positive and negative ions between the
extracellular and intracellular fluid. - ✔✔True
When a neuron is not firing an action potential, the voltage inside the neuron __________. -
✔✔is negative
The stronger the stimulation, the greater the size (magnitude) of the action potential - ✔✔false

Which of the following provides the best mechanism for feature detectors, such as the
ones found on the visual cortex? - ✔✔individual neuron and its structures
What is the difference between EPSP and IPSP? - ✔✔Action potentials from the
presynaptic neuron either excite (EPSP) or inhibit (IPSP) the postsynaptic neuron
A specific person's face can be represented by _______. - ✔✔a particular pattern of the activities
of a group of neurons
Which of the following is consistent with the idea of localization of function? - ✔✔Neurons
in different areas of the brain respond best to different stimuli
Brain areas are specialized for specific functions
Specific areas of the brain serve different functions

✔✔localization of function
The occipital lobe is - ✔✔the part of the cerebral cortex where the visual cortex is located
The _____ lobe of the cortex receives information from all of the senses and is responsible for
coordination of the senses, as well as higher cognitive functions such as thinking and problem
solving. - ✔✔frontal
