Happiness Journal: I will be checking them today.

Circle: It's a summer day and you have no obligations. Walking out of your house you spot a hurt bird laying on ground. No one is watching. What do you do?

Homework: SQ3R 109-119.  This should be completed by today.

Test on Monday November 6: Module 9-12

Explore the Brain

Learning Targets: I can explain/understand:

What are neurons, and how do they transmit information? Myelin sheath

How do nerve cells communicate with other nerve cells?

How do neurotransmitters influence behavior, and how do drugs and other chemicals affect neurotransmission?

What are the functions of the nervous system’s main divisions?

How does the endocrine system – the body’s slower information system – transmit its messages?

How do neuroscientists study the brain’s connections to behavior and mind?

What are the functions of important lower-level brain structures?

What functions are served by the various cerebral cortex regions?
