Exam 2: Memory and the Brain

Damage to this area can cause anterograde amnesia.

This is the electrochemical process of transmission in an axon.

Visual processing takes place in which lobe?

To view the Cerebral Cortex, the Corpus Callosum, and a number of subcortical structures, a researcher might us:

The frontal lobe is in this part of the brain.

In anterograde amnesia, an inability to form and retain this occurs.

tdCS directs what type of electricity directly to the scalp in a continuous fashion?

The hypothetical physical unit of storage of a memory is known as:

Memory loss can occur at tremendous costs in this area due to its widespread consequences.

When looking for a particular class of stimulus in the brain, a researcher would look for averaged patterns across many trials.To do this, what type of test would be needed?

By what mechanism do drugs, such as caffeine, affect brain functions ?

In a serious accident that results in brain damage, memory deficits acquired through brain damage will result in:

Which of the following carry electrical impulses from one neuron to another?

What part of the neuron receives information from other neurons or directly from sensory receptors?

The frontal lobe is associated with:

Engram is the hypothetical physical unit of ______ of a memory.

Basic visual memory takes place in this lobe.

The electrochemical process of transmission in an axon is known as action ______.

The frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe make up:

A disease that causes the loss of myelin along axons, resulting in movement deficits is known as multiple sclerosis.Transmission of information in the axons, in contrast, is ______.
