Neurotransmitters that are chemically similar to opiates: drugs that slow down or depress activity in the cns are known as: Depressants: the degree to which a particular function is controlled by one rather then the other hemisphere is referred to in the text as: Lateralization of function: electroencephalography (eeg) is a technique used in studying the brain by: Placing electrodes outside the brain and thereby monitoring brain wave activity: the autonomic nervous system regulates: Involuntary activities: the event that initiates the release of transmitters substances from the terminal buttons of the axon is the: Action potential: the portion of the brain most closely associated with emotional expression is the: Limbic system: all neurons share four common structures: the cell body, dendrites, axon, and the:
