endorphins acetylcholine GABA serotonin glutamate
Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
The specific part of the nervous system that is responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements is called the

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
What is the basic difference between MRI and fMRI imaging techniques?
MRI is less invasive. MRI carries less risk to the patient. fMRI provides less detail. fMRI allows for real-time observations of changes in brain activity. Neither shows soft tissue structures of the brain.

Reuptake refers to the
brief electrical charge down the axon reabsorption of excess neurotransmitters by the presynaptic neuron reabsorption of excess neurotransmitters by the post-synaptic neuron binding of the neurotransmitters onto the dendrites movement of the neurotransmitters across the synapse
