2. Does our understanding of neural networks adequately explain the complex functions of the human nervous system? In your answer, you should include such terms as emergent properties, affective behaviors, cognitive behaviors, neurons (and the functional anatomy of each of its sections), action potentials, graded potentials, electrochemical gradient, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, voltage-gated Na+ channel, voltage-gated K+ channel, Na+ /K+ -ATPase, EPSP, IPSP, temporal summation, spatial summation, trigger zone of the axon hillock, myelination, salutatory conduction, nodes of Ranvier, axon terminal, voltage-gated Ca+ channel, synaptic vesicle, neurotransmitter, and synapse. You should be able to describe a few nervous pathologies, how they arise, and how they affect normal organismal function.

Question 1:

Question 1: Properties of life and recognizing living and nonliving things

Consider the properties and characteristics of life. Choose two items (one of which is alive or has been alive and one which has never been alive). Compare and contrast their characteristics. What characteristics do they share and how are they different. Be prepared to discuss the importance of the various characteristics of living things and how their combination makes life an emergent part of the universe.

Question 2:

Thinking as a scientist, designing research

Consider the process by which scientists think through information and solve problems and how this is similar and different to how nonscientists approach the world. Consider a small problem that is solvable scientifically. Describe the process you would go through in solving that problem. Be prepared to discuss the significance of the scientific approach to the development and advancement of human knowledge.
