    Brain and Behaviour Study Guide

    Uploaded by

    Vaasavi Rao
    This document provides a revision guide for studying the brain and behavior. It lists 11 questions and for each question outlines the key elements to address: key vocabulary/theories, 2-3 relevant studies, critical thinking, and how the response would differ depending on the command terms (e.g. outline vs. discuss). The questions cover a range of topics including techniques for studying the brain, localization of behavior, neuroplasticity, neurotransmitters, research ethics, and specific research methods. The final questions focus on topics like antagonists, neural networks, neural pruning, agonists, and synaptic transmission, and would require a shorter response like an outline.
