We only use 10% of our brain.
Our brains are always changing and developing throughout our lives.
Different parts of the brain are responsible for different behaviors.

HM is a good case study to use for what topic?
localization of function
neuroplasticity
hormones
pheromones
What happens to the neurotransmitters after they are released into the synapse?
They are broken down by enzymes or reabsorbed by the terminal buttons.
They are absorbed into the bloodstream
They are eventually replaced in the receptor site until another action potential happens.
They continue to flow through the next neuron.
