In explaining why he thinks that Neuroscience and Education is a bridge too far, Bruer gives three main examples of true neuroscience findings that have been misapplied to education. Describe each of these findings and explain how they have been misapplied. - correct answers Synaptogenesis: - Creation of new connections between neurons - Throughout life, we create new connections - Our brains are adaptable and we keep learning there is not time in which people learn the most, things can chang...

Neurochemistry - correct answers the branch of neuroscience concerned with the fundamental chemical composition and processes of the nervous system Neuropharmacology - correct answers The scientific field concerned with the discovery and study of compounds that selectively affect the functioning of the nervous system Amine neurotransmitter - correct answers a neurotransmitter based on modifications of a single amino acid nucleus. Examples include acetylcholine, serotonin, or dopamine Am...

Neurons - correct answers cells that receive and transmit electrochemical signals neuroscience - correct answers the scientific study of the nervous system The case of Jimmy G. The man frozen in time - correct answers He forgot everything that was said or shown to him within a few seconds. Basically, Jimmie could not remember anything that had happened to him since his early 20s, and he was not going to remember anything that happened to him for the rest of his life. Thinking creatively...

A 79yo woman is admitted to the ED after she was found unconscious in her apartment. After she regained consciousness, a neurologic examination indicated that she suffered a stroke with paralysis of the right arm and leg as well as loss of speech. The most likely region affected by the stroke that could account for limb paralysis is: a) prefrontal cortex b) precentral gyrus c) postcentral gyrus d) superior temporal gyrus e) parietal lobe - correct answers b) precentral gyrus The pri...

Brain's functions - correct answers 1. Responsible for all aspects of our cognition - our ability to perceive the world, produce and understand speech, read, write, perform physical skills, learn, and remember, solve problems and evaluate our own thinking 2. Underlies our affective responses, such as our expression of emotions and behaviors like aggression Neuroscience - correct answers the study of how the nervous system develops and how its structures and functions affect behavior Wh...

The output of center-surround cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus can be combined in V1 to create sensitivities to specific orientations. The neurons in V1 that are sensitive to orientations are called... - correct answers simple cells Cortical blindness restricted to one quarter of the visual field is known as... - correct answers Quadrantinopia Which of the following statements is FALSE? a.Objects on the left side of space will be represented in the primary visual cortex of the l...

A researcher is conducting an experiment in which a new drug is tested to see its effect on neurons. When monitoring the brains of the test animals, the researcher noti...

Neuroscience - correct answers The study of the connection between the brain and behavior Neurons - correct answers They receive, transmit, integrate information electrochemically Sensory Neurons - correct answers Make initial contact with the environment and are responsible for carrying the message inward toward the spinal cord and brain Interneurons - correct answers Make no direct contact with the world, but they convey information from one internal processing site to another Moto...

Which evidence best supports the idea that the adult visual cortex retains mechanisms for plasticity after the critical period? Select one: a. The majority of cortical cells in a normal adult cat are activated to some degree by stimulation in both eyes. b. Monocular deprivation in an adult cat alters the distribution of cortical neurons activated by stimulation of both eyes. c. If strabismus is induced when a cat is born, the adult cat will have very few cortical cells that are activated to ...
