• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

Referring to the Brain Map: Which part of the brain is responsible for sight?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

Neurons are also called

• small cells

• nerve cells

• spinal cells

• dendrites

Three main parts of all Neurons

• Dendrites, Cell body, Axon

• Nucleus, Cell Body, Mitochondria

• Dendrites, nerves, Mitochondria

• Cells, Axon, nerves

Difference Between Neuron & Nerve

• Neuron is a specialized cell that transfers & interprets electrical & chemical messages while a nerve is part of neuron that acts like an extension cord to transfer electrical messages between neurons.

• Nerves are only found outside the brain while neurons are only found in the brain.

• Nerves are cells and neurons are like extension cords that transfer electricity

• Neurons are part of nerves

Three types of Neurons

• Big, small, and tiny

• Sensory, Motor, and Relay

• Dendrites, Axons, Soma

• Nerve, Dendrites, Axon Terminal

True or False: Neurons are only found inside of your brain

• True

• False

True or False: Your body develops can develop new neurons anytime you try and learn something new.

• True

• False

Neurons pass electrical and chemical messages through connections with other neurons at

• dendrites

• axon

• soma cells

• synapses

Neuroplasticity can be defined as

• the capacity of the nervous system "brain" to develop new neural connections.

• when the brain is in a fixed state

• when the brain has trouble learning new information.

• the ability of the brain to read minds.
