Document Summary

After learning about the neuron in week 5 and how it communicates using both electrical (action potential) and chemical (neurotransmitter) signals, week 6 focuses upon the brain as a whole by examining some of the major structures. You are expected to learn the names, location and functions of specific structures listed in the learning objectives above. The prep work this week is a graded quiz as we want you to commit the structures and their location and function to memory. In the lab you will get feedback about your answers to correct any misunderstanding. The lab activities provide further opportunity to practice integrating function and location information and linking it to the name of each structure. Prep work: memorize the name, function and location of each of these structures. Please bring a blank lab page to the lab to record your answers to the quiz which will be handed in and graded.
