Are research results on the brain more compelling to you than are research results from survey studies on attitudes? How does biological research such as studies of the brain influence public opinion regarding the science of psychology? Which brain scanning techniques, or combination of techniques, do you find to be the best?

The brain, part of the central nervous system along with the spinal cord, is divided into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. The text also discusses brain plasticity and how studying brain damage, such as strokes, contributes to understanding brain function.

It explains the processes of cell differentiation and migration in brain development. Key structures such as the medulla oblongata, cerebellum, pons, midbrain, and cerebrum are discussed, emphasizing their roles in controlling involuntary and voluntary functions, coordination, communication, and sensory processing.

The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS encompasses other neural elements. Neurons and glial cells are the primary cell types in nervous tissue. Neurons have a soma and processes like axons and dendrites. CNS structures with cell bodies are called nuclei, while in the PNS, they are ganglia. Axonal bundles are tracts in the CNS and nerves in the PNS.

However, if the waves they initiated occurred in the opposite direction or with the wrong timing, the waves would cancel each other out, and the balls would remain in the center of the parachute.

How can we compare changes in the nervous system made through evolution to changes made during development? What are the similarities and differences between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems? Describe the anatomy and functions of the forebrain.
