a) Increases in the BOLD signal cause behavior. b) There is localization of psychological function in the brain. c) Changes in the BOLD signal in the medial temporal lobe reflect cognition. d) Neuronal recording is evidence of the modularity of the mind. 2. The principle of mass action assumes that: a) Psychological functions are localized in the brain. b) Memory is distributed equally across brain regions. c) Brain regions have qualitatively dissociable psychological functions. d) Memory is stored in the hippocampus. 3. Why did Morris (1989) conclude that the NMDA receptor antagonist, AP5 affected acquisition but not retention of place learning? a) Rats given AP5 were initially impaired at place learning but improved with further training. b) Rats given AP5 after acquisition showed sensorimotor impairments. c) Rats given AP5 after acquisition showed normal searching behavior in the quadrant that had previously contained the hidden platform. d) Rats given AP5 before training were slow to acquire place learning.

Q. Which region of the brain may be essential for the generation of a skin conductance response? a) Amygdala b) Ventromedial frontal lobe c) Insula d) Anterior cingulate Q. In what situation might the brain's executive functions NOT be important? a) Deciding between two alternative routes home b) Switching between two tasks c) Reacting instinctively to a threat d) Overriding automatic behavior Q. In the SAS model, what is the name of the mechanism that selects one particular schema to be enacted from a host of competing schemas? a) Supervisory-activating system b) Contention scheduling c) Schema selection d) Top-down activation Q. One early theory postulated that a number of anatomical structures work together to form a single "emotional brain". What name was given to collectively describe these brain structures? a) Kluver-Bucy network b) Geniculo-striate pathway c) Papez circuit d) Thalamo-cortical loop Q. What part of the brain is associated with the generation of an "error potential"? a) Anterior cingulate cortex b) Left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex c) Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex d) Orbitofrontal cortex

QUESTION 10 Which of the following statements best describes the hypothetical mechanism discussed in class for how the brain might retrieve stored long-term memories? A. Stimulus input causes the individual neuron representing a specific memory to begin firing, expressing the memory until the cell dies. B. Learned synaptic connections act like a switchboard to direct readout neurons to receive input from the area of the brain whose persistent firing rates are actively representing the stored memory. C. When external input causes a network to fire in an activity pattern similar to a stored memory, the learned synaptic connections allow the network to reorganize its activity into the pattern that actually represents the memory. D. Similar to digital computers, the brain reads out stored memories by having a special class of neurons send connections to the specific brain location where the memory is stored. Aplysia californica, a sea slug, was instrumental in experimentally understanding some basic mechanisms of memory. Which of the following options best describes how Aplysia demonstrated long-term memory in the video we watched in Lec. 19? A. The sea slug released a larger volume of ink after a second presentation of a noxious stimulus; the amount of ink released returned to normal after subsequent stimulations. B. The sea slug recognized the experimenter after not seeing the experimenter for 6 months. C. The sea slug learned to perform complicated behavioral tasks. D. The withdrawal reflex of the sea slug increased in magnitude after several presentations of a noxious stimulus (the slug retracted its body more and more) that lasted several days.
The corpus callosum is the largest cerebral commissure. The study of how left and right hemispheres differ in their approach to cognitive tasks has led to the concept of a left hemisphere interpreter. A pathological difficulty in reading is termed dyslexia. Darwin believed that expressions of emotion evolve from behaviors that indicate what an animal is likely to do next. In nonprimate mammals, social aggression often depends greatly on the organizational and activational effects of hormones. Lymphocytes are specialized white blood cells produced in bone marrow and stored in the lymphatic system. Each facial expression starts to develop slightly earlier on the left side of the face than on the other side. Studies of monozygotic and dizygotic twins suggest that schizophrenia is greatly influenced by genetic factors. In 1957, iproniazid became the first drug to be marketed as an antidepressant. Benzodiazepines have been shown to reduce indices of fear and anxiety in the elevated-plus-maze test.
