Brain and Behavior
Authority:
Category:
Skill Level:
Year Introduced:
1. Be able to label a diagram or a model of a human brain including the following parts and tell briefly what each part does: medulla, pons, cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, pituitary gland, and cerebrum.
2. What is a neuron? Draw a picture of a typical neuron and label its parts. Where does information enter a neuron and where does information leave from?
3. Explain how drugs affect the function of neurons especially at the 'synapse'. Make a commitment never to take drugs except for medical reasons.
4. What is a reflex? Perform a knee-jerk reflex test on someone. Explain why it occurs (use the following terms in your answer: sensory neuron, motor neuron, spinal cord). Why do doctors use this test in a physical exam?
5. What is a sensory neuron, and what is "adaptation".
6. How are the senses of taste and smell similar and how are they different.
7. Draw a picture of the various parts of the eye and explain why you have a blind-spot. Find your blind-spot for one eye.
8. Describe the three basic parts of the ear and tell what each part does. Explain why the following activities can be bad for your hearing: listening to a "walkman", putting something long in your ear, being in the front row at a loud music concert, not treating an ear infection properly, standing behind a jet at an airport
9. Do one or more of the following activities: (some of these activities will need to be planned with a medical/dental professional or at a local college or university— they are usually very willing to assist you)
- a. Observe an electroencephalogram or one being performed on someone and describe what can be learned from this test.
- b. Watch a "lie-detector" test being performed. Briefly explain how one works.
- c. Observe an MRI or one being performed and explain what information can be learned from such a test.
- d. Observe a neuron under a microscope.
- e. Observe someone receiving a local or general anesthetic and explain how an anesthetic works.
- f. Observe a real human brain (fresh or preserved)
10. List at least 5 things that you can do to protect your brain from damage.
11. Do one of the following:
- a. Visit and help care for someone (minimum of 2 hrs) who has a disease of the brain and report on their special needs.
- b. Briefly describe the following disorders of the nervous system:
- i. Alzheimer's Disease
- ii. Multiple Sclerosis
- iii. Epilepsy
- iv. Major Depression
- v. Down Syndrome
- vi. Huntington's Disease
- vii. Quadriplegic
- viii. Paraplegic
12. Find at least three references from the Bible that refer to your brain and/or to decisions that you make in life.
