increases; less

reduces; less

reduces; more

increases; more

13) Which part of the brain relays information between the spinal cord and the cerebellum?

Hippocampus

Corpus callosum

Amygdala

Brainstem

14) Which part of the brain plays the greatest role in controlling higher mental functions?

Thalamus

Cerebrum

Hypothalamus

Cerebellum

17) The term "plasticity" is used to describe the human brain as

changeable.

durable.

fragile.

uniform.

Which technology can be used most effectively to temporarily disrupt the function of specific brain regions?

Computed tomography (CT)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Electroencephalography (EEG)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Explanation / Answer

Hello!

11 .Increases ;more that is because the hyperpolarizaion increases the negative potential in a specific part of the neuron

13.Brainstem ;It monitors the flow of messages to the rest of the body which involves the spinal chord and cerebellum and various parts of the brain .

14.Cerberum; It is the biggest part of the human brain which is connected to higher and complex working of brain and it monitors all voluntary functions of the body.

17.Changeable it is because can adapt to different ages of the developing brain and can change accordingly.

*Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because as we know this is one of the most prominent technology out there which functions in understanding different parts of the brain by putting it to rest.

Thankyou, hope this helped!
