 Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

 Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

 Cerebral Cortex
 MRI
 fMRI

Important Points to Remember

 Neural communication is both electrical (action potentials) and chemical

(neurotransmitters).
 Different parts of the brain have specialized functions but also work together to perform
complex tasks.
 Brain imaging techniques are crucial for understanding the structure and function of the
brain in living individuals.

Questions for Further Study

1. How do neurotransmitters influence behavior and mood?

2. What are the effects of damage to specific brain regions on behavior and cognition?
3. How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems interact during stress?
