Part 1 Option B Explain how neurons transmit information. ‘Our knowledge of the neurons function helps us to understand human behaviour.’ Discuss. The relationship between biology and psychology is a ‘give-and-take’‚ shared relationship where one can be used to explain and provide insight into the other‚ as both are related to the physical body and the mind. For that reason biology holds a much significant and important role in the study of psychology. One of the main areas of psychological studies

cell membrane. The brain signals‚ which in this case are being blocked or stimulated by chemicals‚ are called neurotransmitters. There are 3 types of neurotransmitters which‚ when tampered with by drugs‚ produce the side effects desired by drug users. The first of the neurotransmitters to cause the effects described above is Dopamine. Though it is one of the most important neurotransmitters‚ dopamine is not

Please provide me with what percentage you think each contributes‚ for example‚ 50% genetics/50% environment. I personally feel like most of the habits you develop are from the environment (nurture). I would say it’s about 70% nurture and 30% nature. I believe that most of the habits people pick up are because they have seen it done by someone else. Now I do know of

Chapter 48 Nervous Systems Lecture Outline Overview: Command and Control Center The human brain contains an estimated 1011 (100 billion) neurons. Each neuron may communicate with thousands of other neurons in complex information-processing circuits. Recently developed technologies can record brain activity from outside the skull. One technique is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ which reconstructs a 3-D map of the subject’s brain activity. The results of brain imaging and other
