25
Using on or more examples, explain effects of neurotransmission on human behavior.

30

31
Discuss ethical considerations in research into genetic influences on behavior.
Bouchard, 1990
32
Kasamatsu and Hirai, 1999
To see how sensory deprivation affects the brain by increasing the serotonin levels in Buddhist monks during a pilgrimage - high levels of serotonin cause hallucinations
33
Martinez and Kesner, 1991
To determine the role of acetylcholine on memory by sending rats with different levels of acetylcholine through a maze a second time - high acetylcholine rats had a better memory of the maze
34
Brenner, 1980
To determine the cause of abnormally aggressive behavior in a family of Dutch men - they had a MAO-A deficiency, which was passed down through a chromosome
35
Shih, 2001
To determine if a lack of MAO-A caused mice to be more violent - the absence of the gene caused abnormal violent behavior
36
Harlowe, 1848
A study of Phineas Gage, a man who had an iron rod go through his frontal lobe - his personality changed but everything else remained the same: supports brain localization
37
Maguire, 2000
To identify if London cab drivers had structural differences in their brain due to learning their jobs by using MRIs to compare the hippocampi - cab drivers had more volume because they had more neural connections needed for spatial memory
38
Vestergaard-Paulsen, 2009
To investigate whether meditation could lead to a change in brain structure y comparing the brains of regular and new meditators using MRIs - structural differences were found such as more complex neural connections
39
Small and Vorgan, 2008
To discover if technology use has an effect on brain structure and activity by an fMRI to compare between frequent and new users - in the beginning frequent users had more brain activity but by the 5th day it was equal
40
Shih
2001
41
Davidson, 2004
To investigate whether meditation changes brain activity by measuring the gamma waves of frequent and new meditators, monitored by an EEG - frequent meditators had more gamma wave activity and better organization
42
Matsuzawa, 2007
To study spatial memory in chimps and humans by showing numbers to both and asking them to identify where the number was - chimps did well, humans made many errors
43
Wahlstein
1997
44
Fessler, 2006
To study why pregnant women get nausea by showing disgusting pictures and asking them to rate their level of disgust - disgusting scenes involving food ranked highest to protect them while they are pregnant because their immune system is suppressed
45
Bouchard, 1990
Compared IQ scores between identical twins raised together and apart - MZ twins raised together scored 86%, same person tested twice scores 87%. 70% of IQ is genetic
46
Wahlstein, 1997
Studied the IQ of children that went from low income homes to higher incomes homes - IQ went up 12-16 points: enriched environment may increase IQ in children
