Answer 14

Franz Gall

Question 15

Question 20

In the brain consist of the cell bodies of the neurons and is where the brains computations occur

Answer 20

Gray Matter

Question 21

In the brain consists of the “wires” connecting the neurons together, these are insulates with fat

Answer 21

White Matter

Question 22

This man identified 52 distinct regions in the human brain based on anatomical features rather than functional

Answer 22

Korbinian Brodmann

Question 23

Used to reveal how neurons are organized in the hippocampus

Answer 23

Golgi Stain

Question 24

Used to stain neuronal cell bodies

Answer 24

Nissl Stain

Question 25

Used golgi stain to postulate the neuron doctrine

Answer 25

Cajal

Question 26

Although neurons come very close to one another there are tiny gaps that keep them separate as individual cells

Answer 26

Neuron Doctrine

Question 27

Technique that allows us to visualize individual neurons throughout the brain by removing lipid around cells while using hydrogel to support cell components making the brain transparent

Answer 27

Clarity

Question 28

Visualization of brain wiring by staining injected into region of an animals brain, neurons transport the stain along their length, and animal is euthanized while brain is sectioned to display the wiring

Answer 28

Tract Tracing

Question 29

In tract tracing when the tracer is taken up by the cell body and transported to terminals

Answer 29

Anterograde Labeling

Question 30

In tract tracing when the tracer is taken up by terminals and transported to cell bodies
