    neurons (gray matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher functions of the nervous system‚ including voluntary muscle activity and learning‚ language‚ and memory. It is composed of neurons and axons. Define hemisphere as it relates to the brain The left side of the brain controls the functions of the right side of the body. That also includes controlling speech and language functions. This is to the left of the corpus callosum.

    Psychology chapter three vocabulary nervous system‚ a collection of hundreds of billions of specialized and interconnected cells through which messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS)‚ made up of the brain and the spinal cord‚ and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the neurons that link the CNS to our skin‚ muscles‚ and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine

    Each olfactory nerve cell binds on only one odor. In this way‚ the brain sorts the smells by which group of nerves is signaling. Since scents are complex‚ many different molecules and neurons will fire together to signal the brain for analysis. The axons of the olfactory receptor cells send signal to terminate the glomeruli. In each glomerulus‚ receptor cells carry scent information to the mitral cells. These mitral cells refine the scent information and send them to the brain to process. 9. A.The

    flow in the axon can be described by two main models‚ the Hodgkin-Huxley model and the Cable model. For myelinated fibers‚ we can use the Hodgkin-Huxley model for the nodes of Ranvier and the Cable model for the internode of the myelin sheath. For the unmyelinated axons‚ we can use just the Hodgkin-Huxley model by itself since there is no myelin sheath to interrupt the conductance described by the model. I will first discuss the current flow in the myelinated axon4. The myelinated axon is composed
