Neurotransmitters that increase the negative potential of a neuron are specifically called:

An agonist can produce its effects by each of these EXCEPT:

Neurons have three main parts,they are the:

One of the functions of _____________ is to surround neurons and hold them in place.

When a neuron is stimulated,tiny protein structures embedded in the cell membrane are activated and allow specific ions to cross the cell membrane,thus changing the overall potential of the neuron.These tiny protein structures are called _____________.

The number of interneurons is ____________ other types of neurons.

Later split brain research found that the ___________ hemisphere has definite superiority over the ___________ in the recognition of patterns.

The brain changes that occur when you learn to walk,acquire speech,read,and fall in love,are called neural:

The specific brain structure concerned primarily with timing and muscular coordination,as well as learning and memory,is the:

When neurons die because of aging or damage,surviving neurons can NOT restore functioning by:

Large protein molecules embedded in the receiving neuron's cell membrane are called:

An agonist is a(n):

The two divisions of the sympathetic nervous system are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

Research on schizophrenia has found that men with this disorder tend to have abnormalities in the ___________ and these abnormalities might account for their confused thinking and disordered attention.
